Founded in 1987 in Nogara, Italy, Hinowa is not only the leading manufacturer of spider lifts, but an access industry pioneer in lithium-ion battery technology. Hinowa employs around 200 across two facilities, a 23,000 square metre manufacturing plant and a 5,000 square metre parts facility. The company has produced JLG branded spider lifts for more than 10 years, and more recently began building its latest articulated boom lifts.
