The Israel-based construction equipment rental company AVI Cranes has added more than 50 Haulotte aerial work platforms to its fleet

AVI Cranes is one of the largest powered access specialists in Israel, supplying machines to major industrial companies in the country.

The rental company has ordered 55 Haulotte aerial work platforms, including STAR 6 vertical masts, Optimum 8 electric scissor lifts, a HA20 LE PRO all-terrain electric articulating boom and a HT43 RTJ PRO telescopic boom.

In mid-December, Haulotte Africa’s service team visited AVI Cranes to provide in-depth training on the new equipment to the technical teams.

The Haulotte Africa subsidiary provided customised training to reinforce technicians’ knowledge of vertical masts and scissor lifts. During the three-day training, the participants familiarised themselves with the group’s models by alternating theoretical and practical sequences.

Ahmed Errouissi, service manager for the Haulotte Africa subsidiary, says: “Training is a major issue in our sector. AVI Cranes’ technical teams now have the knowledge to maintain and diagnose Haulotte scissor lifts and vertical masts.”

Errouissi will return in February to provide further training on the PULSEO generation all-electric articulating boom lift and the telescopic big booms.

AVI Cranes has been operating for over 40 years, building a reputation as a professional and safety-oriented company, ranked among the 100 largest crane rental companies in the world
