Africa’s largest tallest scissor lift launched

The Dutch elevator HL-275 D27 was officially launched at the Gogor Access Rental Montague Gardens facility in Cape Town on March 31, and IDS will be one of the first customers to deploy new machines in South Africa. IDS provides a one-stop solution for cost-effective commercial and cold storage design, manufacturing and installation.

The mega scissor lift has a 6,15m by 2,50m deck measuring 8,25m X 2,50m when extended fully. It is also capable of lifting a ton up to its full working height of 27,5m. notes Goscor Access Rental General Manager Nici Verster.

Verster explains that the Holland Lift unit first fell on Goscor Access Rental’s radar when it paid a visit to Bauma Germany in 2013, the premier construction equipment exhibition in the world. The access rental company immediately put plans in motion to introduce this Rolls Royce of scissor lifts locally.

“The South African market will definitely benefit from the application of this machine, especially when you consider major projects underway at the moment such as the Kusile and Medupi power stations for Eskom,” Verster highlights. Applications range from cladding to plastering and general electrical and construction work.

In addition, Goscor Access Rental is introducing the new machine to cater for the latest trend in the warehousing and distribution sector for larger facilities requiring ever-bigger access equipment in order to maximise productivity and efficiency.

"All of our technical sources are not only the best technology in the world from the point of view of functionality, quality and durability, but also to ensure that our customers benefit from the ultimate total cost of ownership," Verster concluded.
