Attending Apex 2023 in Maastricht

We’re delighted to be at the APEX Show 2023, taking place from June 6th-8th in Maastricht. Apex has over 150 exhibitors with products and services aimed at access professionals. We’re visiting our Genie colleagues on their stand no.340, in the inside area of the show.

Vertikal Days, Europe’s largest lifting equipment event, took place 10th/11th May 2023 in Peterborough and we were delighted to show a range of Genie® machines, in conjunction with our colleagues from Genie.

ASHBROOK Ltd are a plant hire and powered access hire company based in Cheshire. With over 25 years of experience, they have a wealth of knowledge of the hire industry and the needs of customers that it serves.

Mike Ashbrook, Commercial Director for ASHBROOK, picks up the story. ‘Our powered access customers come from a wide range of professions, from roofers to tree surgeons, electricians to industrial cleaning companies, event providers to media companies and many more. But what they all have in common is a need for a high quality and reliable machine and Genie deliver on all fronts.’

As the industry continues to move toward an electrified future, the battery landscape is changing quickly. Genie has been building electric access platforms for more than 35 years, and more than 70% of their products are already all-electric or hybrid. Now, as Genie continue to respond to the evolving demands of modern-day jobsites, they have announced the launch of their new GENIE E-DRIVE LITHIUM-ION.

Genie® dealer Workplatform Ltd, which has been in business for 14 years, celebrated a milestone earlier this year with the purchase of its 10,000th Genie machine — a GS™-1932 E-Drive scissor lift.

Workplatform hit its 10,000 lifts milestone 12 years after becoming a Genie dealer. The UK dealer’s partnership with Genie began in 2010, with Workplatform initially selling only material lifts and push around personnel lifts before becoming a full-line dealer a few years later.
