In the fast-paced world of access platform rentals, efficiency, reliability, and user-friendliness are critical to success. With over 700 lifts in its rental fleet, Sørby Utleie is a major player in the Nordic rental market. When the need arose to renew their selection of specialized lifts, the choice naturally fell on Leguan. Why? The answer is simple: user-friendliness, flexibility, uniformity, and reliability.
Martin Authen, General Manager at Sørby Utleie, explains how they approach adding new machines to their fleet:
– We needed to update our range of specialized lifts, and when it came to all-terrain tracked lifts, we chose Leguan. They are easy to use, environmentally friendly, and have a consistent user interface, and serviceability across all models — something that’s very valuable for us as a rental company, says Authen.
Easier Training and Better Customer Experience
For rental companies managing large fleets across multiple regions and user groups, standardization is key. Leguan’s uniform design philosophy ensures that operators require less training and can transition seamlessly between models without needing extensive retraining.
The consistency in control layout, functionality, and maintenance procedures means that both operators and service personnel can rely on familiarity, regardless of the machine’s specific model. This dramatically reduces downtime, streamline operations, and boosts productivity.
– It makes it easier to train people, and users are more satisfied with the experience. The lifts are very versatile and handle rough terrain well. You can reach places that other machines simply can’t, says Authen.
Field Performance: Experience from Elektrotjenesten AS
One of the customers using Leguan lifts is Elektrotjenesten AS. On a project involving the upgrade of a lighted trail in Askim, the lifts played a key role.
– What I like best is the auto-levelling function, which means you don’t have to spend time adjusting the lift before starting work. It also has a home button that makes it easy to return to the starting position, describes Joacim Taraldrud Tangnes from Elektrotjenesten AS.
Operational Benefits for Both Customer and Supplier
Thanks to their light weight and user-friendly design, the lifts are easy to transport — either by the customer or the rental company.
– It’s important to us that the lifts can be transported on a trailer and that they are intuitive to operate — regardless of size. This also makes things easier for our mechanics, who can easily assist customers when needed, Authen states.
Standardization also leads to fewer errors and reduces the load on customer support: – We receive fewer support calls and see fewer user errors because of the simple interface. That saves both time and resources.
A Natural First Choice
For Tangnes, there’s no doubt which lift he prefers:
– At the end of the day, it’s the best lift I’ve ever operated. I’ll definitely rent it again whenever I have the chance.
