Ayhanlar Platforms general manager Necip Ayhan said: “We were introduced to the new Snorkel electric scissor lifts by Uzman Lift, and were very impressed with the features that have been designed into the lift to lower the total cost of ownership. Uzman Lift were able to provide immediate delivery, and this has been followed up by a visit from a Snorkel product support engineer who came to train our technicians quickly after we received the lifts. We are very happy so far with the products and the service, and look forward to building this relationship.”
