Light goes with JLG

Light Hire, the Exeter, Devon, (UK) based powered access rental company has entered into an agreement with JLG to spend £1.5 million over the next three years on battery powered scissor lifts.

Light hire has already taken delivery of a number of 1930, 2030, 2630 and 3246 ES models most of which are an expansion to the company’s fleet in line with the its strategy of controlled expansion while maintaining a fleet age as low as possible.

Each of the new scissor lifts is fitted with a key code security pad to enable Light Hire customers to secure their machine whilst it is on site.

In addition to battery powered scissors lifts, Light has taken delivery of its first 450AJ diesel powered boom lift which will be evaluated along side the existing fleet of four wheel drive boom lifts. Performance, reliability and customer acceptance will all be monitored over the coming months with a view to further fleet expansion.

Brian Light, managing director at Light Hire said: '”We believe that JLG is now the number one supplier of electric scissor lifts and we look forward to supplying our customers with machines which have a reputation for excellent performance and reliability'.
