Riwal Adds Electric and Hybrid Scissorlifts from Holland Lift
European aerial work platform and telehandler rental specialist Riwal has expanded its fleet with electric and hybrid powered scissorlifts from Holland Lift. In addition to investing in standard Holland Lift models, Riwal has puchased the new hybrid HL275 H25 scissorlift, which has a working height of 27 meters, about 88.6 feet.
Riwal also added the Megastar HL-340 E30, the world’s tallest electric scissorlift with a working height of 34 meters (111.5 feet) and a lifting capacity of 1,000 kg. to its rental fleet.
“This investment underlines our commitment to provide our customers with a range of sustainable alternatives to diesel-powered machines,” said Søren Rosenkrands, Riwal’s chief operating officer. “Not only do we provide a broad range of equipment to suit any job, we also meet the customer demand for environmentally friendly machines.”
“The market demands sustainable access equipment for inside and outside use with zero emissions in order to ensure maximum flexibility and return on investment without compromising performance,” said Eline Oudenbroek, managing director of Holland Lift. “With the HL-340 E30 and the HL-275 H25, Riwal has made a sustainable decision for the future.”
Riwal, based in Dordrecht, The Netherlands, has operations in 18 countries on four continents.
