Riwal, Netherlands-based aerial rental company, has sold its first full electric 28-meter boomlift. Riwal sold the unit to Airnace, a Swiss rental company that rents aerial equipment, mini-cranes, telescopic forklifts, vacuum lifters and construction lifts. For a variety of work inside and outside, such as maintenance on bridges and work in city centers, Airnae required a 28-meter boomlift with a reduced noise level without emissions.
Riwal chose to offer the JLG 860SJ, converted from diesel to a full electric boomlift by Riwal’s expert technical team. The unit has a noise level below Dba and no carbon emissions, is battery powered with a 400-volt integrated battery charger.
“This machine is a great solution for us to work in industrial areas, power plants and tunnels without needing any particular filters,” said Olivier Mettan, general manager at Airnace. “Thanks to the reduced noise level and zero emissions, we can now easily meet local restrictions.”
“This aerial work platform is a sustainable alternative to diesel-powered machines while maintaining all of its features,” added Norty Turner, Riwal CEO.
Riwal, based in Dordrecht, Netherlands, has operations in 18 countries on four continents.
