Platformers Days opens today

Platformers Days will open its doors later today with fine weather promised, this year’s show is unusual in that several of the founding companies have stayed at home, including JLG, Genie and Haulotte, although Genie's aluminium product distributor Wienold will be flying the flag for the brand.

However the show probably has more new products and companies exhibiting than for many a year. And Skyjack will be showing its latest boom lifts and looking to capitalise on the absence of the other big four producers.
