Irish-based international rental company Easi UpLifts, has launched a ‘substantial’ capital investment programme for 2012, with sizeable orders for JLG boom and scissor lifts and Teupen spider lifts. The bulk of the JLG order is for 60 and 80ft telescopic and articulated booms, including two 150ft (47m working height) JLG 1500SJ- the world's largest self-propelled boom lift. The new lifts will be added to Easi UpLifts’ big boom fleet and will be available for re-rent by other rental companies. Easi UpLifts managing director John Ball said that the majority of the new machines will be delivered to its UK depots, with a small number being added to its Irish rental operation. The company is also expanding its specialised access division wiht the purchase of a number of Teupen spider lifts. The order includes a number of the 23 metre Leo 23 GT and 18 metre Leo 18GT-plus models to be delivered from early April, along with a 36 metre Leo 36T. These machines will also be available as part of the company's re-rent programme. Ball confirmed that further investment announcements can be expected over the next few months.
