Gemini launches truck mounts into Europe

Indian aerial platform manufacturer and distributor Gemini has presented an aerial lift for the first time outside its home market.

The manufacturer was showing its 14m working height Levo 14 on Axolift’s stand at the GIS show in Piacenza last week. Gemini’s smaller Levo 11 is also now available in the European market.

Low level access specialist Axolift announced earlier this year that Gemini had become its distributor in India.

According to company director Aahan Sethi the units have both received CE marking and have been produced with SSAB Strenx steel.

The 14m unit was mounted on a 2.2 tonne Leyland in India and shipped over for the purpose of the show and Gemini, which says it has sold 220 Levi units in India so far, is looking for potential partnerships in Europe with OEMs or specialists in the field to mount the lifts onto local chassis.

The Levo 14 has an outreach of 6m and basket capacity of 200kg, along with a 350 degree turret rotation and fibre glass basket. Basket dimensions are 1.1m x 0.7m x 1.1m. 

The hydraulics deliver smooth, precise control while there is an intuative control system with a dispaly designed to be easy to navigate for any user. The model is equipped with remote diagnostics, while all serviceable parts have easy access. 

In addition Gemini has launched a new 24m working height model in the range, which is not yet available in Europe.

European plans 

“We are looking to establish the product in the market. But we already have a great deal of experience in India where we have adapted it to a market that is very new to this type of equipment,” said Aahan Sethi. 

“Therefore we have a full understanding of what operators need and these requirements are built into our equipment.”

What started as a small workshop in India has now developed into Gemini’s 40,000 square feet factory, run by a team of experts in the fields of design, production and procurement. 100% of Levo products are designed and manufactured in India, with an emphasis on compact and lightweight, with high tensile steel and low emissions.

Gemini’s first goal in Europe is to set up service provision in the continent and is now looking for experienced personnel in this area.
