Overall length is a compact 3.28 metres, with an overall width of 1.22 metres, the unit can also drive at full height. Vamasa staff along with those of its long time service partner ITM have also received full training by PB factory staff.

Vamasa chief executive Victor Cambralla Balaguer said: “We have chosen PB because we are convinced of the quality of their products including their installed components and we have made sure, that the machines are customised to the needs of the rental companies. In conclusion they can be rented very well. An important factor for us was the machines were designed for easy accessibility during maintenance. With PB we have found a supplier for the future, which has a very good, closely cooperating team.”
