UPA is based in Lymm, Cheshire and is part of cladding, roofing and building services specialist CA Group. UPA’s general manager Jason O’Brien said, “We have a longstanding relationship with APS. The fact that they can fulfil our requirements in days when other suppliers are forecasting months, is testament to their supply and service, especially in the current climate.”
O’Brien added that the LGMG SR-1623 Ds had already proven a success and had received positive feedback. “For cladding applications, they’re easy to operate, the slide-out deck is smooth, provides a generous work area and the platform is very stable.
“From a rental point of view, LGMG scissor lifts are very robust, the build quality, including paint finish, is excellent and they’ve been very reliable. Also, they are very competitive in terms of capital expenditure.”

“With the UK is moving out of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve been determined to be well-placed to support access rental clients that want to gear up their operations and refresh their fleets.”
