AFI adds UpRight booms

AFI, the UK’s second largest aerial lift rental company has purchased 10 UpRight SB85J boom lifts.

The 85ft platform height straight boom with articulated jib was designed and built by Snorkel as the TB85JFA and was added to the UpRight product range last September, following the acquisition of Snorkel by Tanfield, UpRight’s owner.

The product has a strong reputation for its outreach at 23.4 metres and reputation for being solid robust and reliable machine.

The machines will be supported in the field by UpRight's master distributor, UpRight Powered Access Sales UK.

Richard Saunders, managing director of AFI-Uplift, said: "We provide all of our customers with hard-wearing, high performance lifts tailored to suit their individual needs. In order to achieve this, we demand the very best from our suppliers.

"We chose the new UpRight booms because they are reliable, easy to maintain and competitively priced. We were also impressed with the level of product support demonstrated by UpRight Powered Access Sales UK."

Richard Tindale, sales & marketing director for UpRight, said: "The huge strides we have made in broadening the product range and enhancing our after-sales service is really paying off. Winning business from leading companies like AFI clearly underlines this progress”
