Plant, access, and agricultural machinery supplier Ashbrook has taken delivery of 117 machines from Genie.

Based in the Northwest of the UK Ashbrook has received a range of GS E-Drive scissors, electric rough terrain scissors and Z and S boom lifts since March this year.

Ltd. specifically chose to add Genie lifts to its fleet because of their high quality and productivity achieved with them on the job. They selected the electric and hybrid machines for their lower environmental footprint.

The GS E-Drive scissor lifts will support a wide range of customers from pharmaceutical to retail to music festivals, safari parks, among many others. “Genie have integrated well with our team and work alongside our own workshop and field service engineers to maximize uptime and reliability for our customers,” said Ashbrook Commercial Director Mike Ashbrook.

The rough terrain GS-4069 RT, GS-4390 RT and GS-5390 RT scissors come with Superdeck for additional space on the platform and extra weight capacity for demanding outdoor worksites.

In addition to scissor lifts, Ashbrook added hybrid FE and high-capacity Xtra Capacity (XC) booms to their fleet. “The ability to work for a full workday on a single battery charge in electric mode with Genie FE provides wonderful efficiency and sustainability for our clients,” said Ashbrook Managing Director James Ashbrook. “At the same time, hybrid mode provides additional flexibility, as it can deliver a full work week on a single tank of fuel.”

Ashbrook also takes advantage of Genie Lift Connect Telematics, which provides information to monitor the company’s machines and manage its fleet.
