AFI chief executive David McNicholas said: "Following previous investments in Zoomlion electric scissor lifts, the positive feedback from customers has been incredible. We will continue honouring our commitment to replacing our powered access fleet with specialist hybrid or electric equipment to keep up with market demand and comply with increasingly strict emissions regulations. Approximately 70 percent of our rental fleet is now battery or bi-fuel. The Zoomlion equipment offers high capacities and outreach along with easy maintenance. The electric scissors and boom lifts have the latest technology and performance and are environmentally friendly with zero emissions, so suitable for most work environments."
