Nationwide Platforms has an order with Italian truck mounted specialist GSR for 43 machines.

The order includes repeat business for the narrow jacked 300kg SWL, double articulating B200PX, mounted on Mercedes 3.5 tonne Euro 6 chassis and the E228TJ telescopic platform with fly jib, 280kg SWL and 17m unrestricted outreach on 7.5 tonne Iveco chassis. The deal also incudes the addition of the E179T telescopic platform mounted on 3.5 tonne Iveco chassis.

UK-based Nationwide, part of the Lavendon Group, also took delivery of a number of 12.5m Ford Transit van mounted units earlier in the year.

Commenting on the order, GSR area manager Andy Northwood said, “We are delighted with this order. It is testament to both the performance of machines delivered in 2014 and 2015 and the work undertaken to offer a Z boom product on a premium chassis."
