A deal has been struck to distribute a range of aerial work platforms in Qatar.

The agreement enables Qatari-firm Rumaillah Motors to supply self-propelled scissor lifts, articulating and telescoping booms, telehandlers, portable material lifts, aerial work platforms, light towers and trailer mounted booms. The machines are all made by the multinational Terex group, and will be marketed under the ‘Genie’ brand.

There is a growing interest in cherry pickers and other access kit in Qatar, as new safety rules seek to phase out the use of ladders and scaffolds.

The dealer will support the product line sales with preventative maintenance contracts, in addition to a stock of spare parts, to help maximise equipment ‘up-time.’ A high level of customer support will be provided by factory-trained service personnel and a fleet of twenty fully equipped product support vehicles. The efficient operation of machinery will be enhanced through the operational and familiarization training offered by the company’s IPAF-standard trained staff.

Jim Elliot, General Manager, Rumaillah Motors said: “Envisaging the changing landscape in Qatar and the introduction of new safety practices, we are confident of the relationship’s success”.
