Boom lifts and training

AFI quickly stepped up to the mark to supply boom lifts to steel erector Wisconco, which was erecting the steelwork for a new exhibition centre in Liverpool, after the contractor had received a poor service from another hire company.

Wisconco director Jody Wisniewki said: “I was looking for machines that were competitively priced, delivered on time, in good condition and fit-for-purpose. That is what AFI delivered and I was very happy with the service.”

“AFI is also assisting us with our training requirements – most of our employees have undertaken PAL+ training through them,” he added.

Wisconco hired four JLG 800AJ articulating booms, fitted with the SkyGuard secondary guarding system. The boom lifts have a working height of 26.38m and a horizontal outreach of 15.74m.
