“The stability and reach of this aerial work platform give our tree care specialists an enormous sense of safety”
How Groenbedrijf Limburg carries out pruning work more efficiently and safely with a 30-metre truck-mounted aerial work platform. We visited Christoph Declerck and listened to his story.
What made the difference in your choice?
Christoph: For us as tree care specialists and pruners, the configuration of the machine is decisive. The choice of a truck-mounted aerial work platform with a 32-metre working height was quickly made when we saw the specifications.
The great advantage is that we can now carry out our work much faster. Where we used to lose more time on positioning, we can now get started straight away. Moreover, the price-quality ratio at Thomas & Ufkes is excellent.
How does this machine help with your daily operations?
Christoph: That is the biggest advantage. We often work in challenging conditions, such as alongside the road. In those situations, the lateral reach of 20 metres on this aerial work platform is crucial. We can now extend far over the road to prune without hindering traffic. This ensures a much smoother flow and less frustration for road users.
Furthermore, the stability of this 30-metre machine is superior to that of smaller aerial work platforms. As a result, our pruners feel considerably safer when working at height. When the people in the basket feel safe, they work with greater confidence and focus.
How did the process regarding the specific requirements for the machine go?
Christoph: We were looking for a solution that would enable our team to efficiently carry all the necessary equipment. At Thomas & Ufkes, they truly look at how the machine will be used in practice and adapt the configuration accordingly. That kind of collaborative thinking is worth its weight in gold for a business owner.
