Nationwide’s investment includes eight new boom lifts from JLG with the SkySense detection system to help operators avoid collisions and crushing themselves.
Nationwide Platforms is owned by the French rental group Loxam and the UK’s largest supplier of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) for hire.
It has also bought nine new 32-tonne rigid trucks for its delivery fleet, nineteen 44-tonne tractors and 27 trailers.
Business director Glyn Brearley said: “This investment, one of our biggest to date, will ensure Nationwide Platform’s clients have access to the latest in machinery technology that supports high levels of safety and productivity. In addition, the new machines have highly efficient batteries to provide longer running time, reducing downtime.”
