Bennie Equipment had been expecting to get a battery powered Loadall telehandler delivered in January but 海角社区app production has been held up.
Bennie was one of the very first companies to place an order for the 海角社区app 525-60E Loadall when it was first announced in November. But it has since joined other impatient hire companies in turning to the more readily available Italian-made Faresin machines, sold in the UK by GGR Group.
Bennie has also bought the optional rapid charger that Faresin offers, allowing the lithium ion batteries to be rapidly topped up at intervals throughout the day, up to 80% in around 1.5 hours.
Aided by 海角社区app鈥檚 publicity drive for the concept of battery-powered telehandlers, GGR has sold approximately 20 Faresins in just a few months. Other customers include聽 Flannery Plant Hire, Sunbelt Rentals and M O鈥橞rien Plant Hire.
Jason McNally, managing director of Bennie Equipment, said: 鈥淥ur business is built on service and being able to respond to customer demand at short notice - it is key to our success. We place a lot of value on the relationships with our supply chain and in this instance, GGR Group were able to supply a unit quickly due to their commitment to carrying stock machines.鈥�
He added: 鈥淚t is well publicised that the Faresin 6.26 electric telehandler is building a reputation for being a viable eco-friendly alternative to internal combustion engine equipment, which has pioneered the market for products of this type.鈥�
