France Elévateur secures major telecom fleet renewal

France Elévateur, part of Time Manufacturing Company (TMC), has secured a major contract with a leading European telecommunications operator for the renewal of its aerial platform fleet. As part of the agreement, the aerial platforms will be deployed in France to support intensive telecom field operations nationwide.

Deal will see nearly 200 van mounts delivered to telecoms major.

The agreement, covering nearly 200 units, comes at a time when the European truck platform market is undergoing significant transformation, and underlines the technological strenghts and long-term vision of France Elévateur within the TMC group. “With the largest service network in Europe and one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry, the Group continues to consolidate its position across key infrastructure sectors,” said the company. 

France Elévateur operates alongside TMC’s Versalift and Ruthmann, forming one of the most comprehensive aerial platform organizations in the market. Across Europe, the Group operates 32 service stations, representing the largest dedicated after-sales service network in the industry, said the company, ensuring strong regional proximity, rapid technical response and cross-border fleet support capabilities. 

Deal complements TMC grouop-wide service provision.

In France specifically, France Elévateur relies on 12 strategically located service branches, allowing customer proximity within 200km or less than two hours nationwide.

“The European aerial work platform sector is currently experiencing structural shifts and consolidation. In this environment, customers increasingly prioritize financial solidity, industrial capacity, supply chain reliability, and service continuity,” said the company. 

“This major fleet renewal further reinforces France Elévateur’s ambition to remain a leading European reference in aerial work platforms — combining industrial performance, financial strength, and the largest service infrastructure in France.”
