Scissor Lifts in Coventry

1st January 2008

Two Terex business segments are coming together to share resources, working out of one facility to take advantage of existing plant space and available manpower. Two business segments of the Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX), have recently partnered in Coventry, England to manufacture Genie powered scissor access platforms. The combined effort provides Terex AWP a facility closer to its customers in the robust European market for powered access platforms.

“We are seeing a significant increase in demand for our access platforms in the European market, we will have the added benefit of offering greater customer responsiveness and improved lead times,” said Matt Fearon, Vice President and Managing Director for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia for the Terex AWP Business.

The Coventry location will initially manufacture two Genie® mini electric scissor lift access platforms: the GS-1532 and the GS-1932, which are also known as “slab scissors lifts.” The two models offer excellent maneuverability, a zero inside turning radius, non-marking tyres, a variable speed DC motor and 25 percent - 30 percent gradeability, among other features. The new location in the United Kingdom will allow Genie Industries to distribute products closer to its customer base, thus eliminating long lead times.
