GGR Group, the lifting solution specialist, has launched a brand new website throughout Scotland dedicated exclusively to the hiring of accredited and approved lifting equipment products and services at www.minicrane-hire.com.
The move comes following an upturn in hire of the full breadth of GGR’s products. GGR offers a huge range of products for hire from mini cranes, pick and carry cranes and vacuum lifters, through to trolleys and stone lifters.
GGR Group’s CEO, Graeme Riley, commented: “Although we’ve been hiring for many years, both hire demand and our hire offering has evolved over time providing customers with a one-stop-shop for their hiring needs.
“Unlike the majority of our competitors who only offer a portion of what we do, we can provide lifting equipment, contract lifts, accredited operators, expertise, accredited training programmes as well as service and maintenance. As the only official UK dealerships for the likes of Woods Powrgrip, Pankoke, Kapel, Wirth, UNIC and Galizia, we provide authorised products as well as accredited and approved repairs, service and maintenance on our hire products.”
The site’s homepage offers hire customers the choice of mini crane hire, pick and carry hire, vacuum lifter hire (including the new Wirth Oktopus cladding range), glazing robot hire and other lifting solution hire.
In addition to the full range of hire products the GGR Hire website contains information on the hire of accredited crane and vacuum lifter operators and contract lifts as well as mini crane and vacuum lifter training.
GGR began hiring and selling vacuum lifters in 1995 and has since evolved into a company which sells and hires a vast range of lifting equipment.
The GGR Group, consists of seven brands –UNIC Cranes Europe, GGR Glass, GGR Galizia, GGR AirLift, GGR Cladding, GGR Rail and now GGR Gulf. The GGR Group is currently Europe’s leading supplier of vacuum handling equipment, restricted access lifting machinery and mini cranes for sale and hire, along with a variety of complementary products and services.
