JLG Industries sold its first 1500AJP, the world's tallest articulating boom lift, to Riwal during Bauma 2016 at the Messe München exhibition centre in Munich, Germany last week.
"We wish to congratulate Riwal on its purchase of this one-of-a-kind and industry-leading boom lift, which represents JLG's long history of innovation in machine design and manufacturing," says Frank Nerenhausen, president of JLG Industries.
Norty Turner, Riwal CEO, says: "As a leading aerial work platform rental and sales specialist, we strive to deliver the best customer experience in the industry. With this investment in the first 1500AJP, we continue to offer an innovative and even broader equipment range.
"The investment supports our drive to provide our customers with the most advanced solutions available."
The new 1500AJP articulating boom lift features a work envelope of more than 74,000 cu m of reachable space, a working outreach of 23.5 m, and a platform capacity of 270 kg unrestricted, allowing operators to reach more work space and take more materials with them than any other articulating boom lift.
The lift also claims industry-leading lift speeds - 2 minutes 15 seconds to move from the ground to maximum platform height.
JLG Industries is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of access equipment.
