Haulotte and Extreme seal the deal

UK-based Extreme Powered Platforms Ltd has invested in a range of Haulotte products including 10, 14 and 17 m telehandlers, 10 and 12 m DX diesel scissor lifts, Star 6 and Star 10 Vertical mast booms, Electric HA12 CJ+ booms and HA16 RTJ Pros.

The new machines will be distributed between their West Midlands, London and Sussex depots.

Extreme managing director Stuart Bond says: "After Haulotte factory visits to France and Romania last year, I booked demonstrations of the ... products and both myself and my team were very impressed with not just the new range of products Haulotte had to offer, but the levels of service and unique features."

The features which impressed the Extreme team include the HA12 CJ + with its 180 degree rotating fly jib, and the built-in diagnostics which made fault-finding simple and fast and offered the hire desk a new level of information it doesn't have with other machines.

"Haulotte have clearly listened to customer feedback and have come a long way in recent years.

"Apart from the sales aspect, we have also been impressed by the after-sales training offered," he adds.

Over the last month, all of Extreme's engineers have been in H.U.K Telford for certificated training days.

Extreme Hire, founded in 2004, has become one of the UK's most trusted providers of aerial work platform hire and access equipment. With depots in Sussex and Middlesex, and a member of a network of trusted independent access companies, the company boasts "the resources of a big company but the customer service and attitude of a smaller firm".
