Lifting specialist turns to APS to expand materials lift hire range

APS Lifting Gear UK Wienold SLK 10s

A leading lifting solutions company has expanded its fleet of Wienold Lifte material lifts supplied by Access Platform Sales.

APS has delivered more new Wienold Lifte Superlift SLK 10 material lifts to Lifting Gear UK as the company continues to develop an already impressing lifting equipment hire fleet.

The Wienold Lift SLK 10 has a maximum safe working load of 450kg and a maximum lift height of 3.5m, while its proven design and durable quality are valued by users.

First class service

Christopher Jakobsen, National Operations Manager at Lifting Gear UK, said: “We’re pleased to be taking in the Wienold Lifte SLK 10 to add even more lifting power to our hire fleet.

“The Wienold SLK range is very popular with our customers. The machines allow loads to be lifted right up against walls and window apertures and work brilliantly in confined spaces.

“What’s more, the service supplied by APS, in terms of expert advice and stock availability, is first class. Their after-sales support, including very quick supply of spare parts and user training for our depot personnel, is also excellent.”

Exceptional build quality

Tony Campana, Sales Manager for Lifting and Low-Level Access at APS, handed over the new SLK 10 material lifts to Lifting Gear UK’s Lead Engineer, David Cutler (see picture above).

Tony Campana said: “Lifting Gear UK has built up its fleet of Wienold Lifte material lifts because of their high utilisation, useability and exceptional build quality.

“Customers choose the SLK because they are easy to transport, simple to set up and come with a range of optional attachments which makes the SLK the ideal materials lift for most applications.”

The SLK can be safely and easily positioned thanks to its large swivel castors and four-point locking system on the front casters, ensuring the machine remains stable in position during lifts.
