New Dingli added to our fleet!

We have recently acquired a new Dingli JCPT2212DC. This machine is favoured by our racking customers due to its 22m working height, safe working load of 600kg and a fully extendable deck size of 6.1m.

Furthermore, front and rear steering enables great manoeuvrability.

Peter Cushion (Dingli) handed the machine over to our service director Gerry O’Connor.
