Stephen Huntley told Vertikal.Net: “We have already had strong enquires with a number of the machines that are due to arrive later this week and next week. We therefore expect these initial machines to be swallowed up very quickly and further orders could well be seen by the Autumn.”

Huntley entered the powered access market in late 2006 and initially specialised in Manitou rough Terrain articulated boom lifts, adding Skyjack RT scissors and more recently Holland Lift heavy duty narrow aisle scissors.
