The majority of the investment will be spent on new diesel boom lifts and scissor lifts from Genie, with additional new equipment from MEC and Haulotte also due to enter the fleet before autumn.
In addition, around £3.5m will be spent on new units to help boost the firm’s specialist vehicle division.
This part of the investment will include both truck and van mounted platforms from Bronto, CTE, Ruthmann and Versalift.
