French aerial work platform manufacturer Manitou Group has launched a new range of scissor lifts.

The range initially has two models, the SE 0808 with a working height of 8 m, and the SE 1008 with a working height of 10 m, with a third 12 m model, the SE 1212, to be launched later in the year. 

The new scissor lift models will be available in Europe from April, with distribution expected to extend beyond Europe next year.

“We have big ambitions in the scissor market, where demand is very strong,” says Samuel Viaud, Manitou scissor lift product manager.

The scissor lifts are powered by efficient AC motors and are maintenance free for their entire service life. 

The new models, designed to operate on flat stabilised ground, both indoors and outdoors, can be used in a wide range of industries, including electrical, plumbing and installation of fire protection systems.
