Johnson Arabia recently purchased new equipment for their already large rental fleet in the UAE. The investments included a Liebherr – LTM 1450-8.1, two MAN tractors, JLG electric scissor lifts (R1932, R2632, R3246, R4045), JLG articulating boom lifts (450AJ, 660SJ, 860SJ, 1200SJP) and JLG electric boom lifts (EC600, EC450, EC520).
“As market leaders we constantly evaluate what our clients are hiring on a larger scale from us and what will have long term benefit to our fleet and that is why we have decided to invest in so many new machines,” said Managing Director Martin Kirby.
The equipment are in line with the current needs of having environmentally conscious machinery for projects that are trying to get LEED accreditation.
“As Dubai moved towards a more sustainable approach a lot of our clients were becoming conscious of emissions generated and we found out electrical AWPS were being sent out a lot more, so we had to ensure we improved our existing fleet to meet the market needs,” said Joe Keely, AWP Executive Manager.
“This is the Same with our 450 tone Liebherr which has ECOmode so that the mobile crane’s fuel consumption is reduced by up to 10% in addition to its massive lifting capabilities,” added Mohammad Fareed, Crane Executive Manager.
In addition, the two MAN tractors that were added to the fleet of existing trucks will also allow for Johnson Arabia to have more control over the logistics and transportation of their equipment whereby they will have full control over equipment delivery times and help service clients better with no external delay.
