UK rental company Fletcher Access has taken delivery of a 42 m Ommelift 4200 RBDJ spider lift.

The new machine, mounted on non-marking rubber tracks, features a hybrid power pack and provides an outreach of up to 15.2 m with a 230 kg maximum platform capacity.

The new model is now the highest platform in the Fletcher fleet, topping a 27 m Omme spider lift.

The new spider lift went straight to work cleaning windows on a high rise tower block.

Fletcher ordered the new machine with a hydraulic hose connection to the basket to enable safe and efficient pressure washing at height.

"The hose to basket option was vital for us as we carry out a lot of high level cleaning work on glass, cladding and solar panels," says co-owner Simon Fletcher.

Fletcher Access purchased the Ommelift 4200 RBDJ from Access Platform Sales (APS), a leading independent distributor of powered access platforms.
