Big Omme for Fletcher

UK rental company Fletcher Access has taken delivery of a 42 metre Ommelift 4200 RBDJ spider lift.

The new machine, mounted on non-marking rubber tracks, features a hybrid power pack and provides an outreach of up to 15.2 metres with a 230kg maximum platform capacity. Overall width is 1.75 metres, with a total weight of just over 6,800kg. Purchased from local dealer APS, the new model is now the highest platform in the Fletcher fleet, topping a 27 metre Omme spider lift.

The new spider lift went straight to work cleaning windows on a high rise tower block. Fletcher ordered the new machine with hydraulic hose to connection to basket to enable safe and efficient pressure washing at height.

Co-owner Simon Fletcher said: “The hose to basket option was vital for us as we carry out a lot of high level cleaning work on glass, cladding and solar panels. It prevents any snagging of a trailing hose when slewing the machine.”

“We already run an Ommelift 2750 in our fleet, so we knew all about the impressive build quality and ease of use. The extremely low weight to height ratio of the 4200 is also important as our clients who prefer machines with a very low ground bearing pressure. The hybrid drive and compact stowed dimensions also mean that we can use it indoors as well as outside.”
