JLG Industries vs Genie

Powered access in Britain is largely a two-horse conversation, and Genie is one of the horses. The GS scissor lifts are the machine most people mean when they ask to hire a scissor lift.

JLG Industries vs Haulotte Group

Haulotte Group is a French manufacturer of scissor lifts, boom lifts and telehandlers whose roots trace to the Pinguely engineering works founded in 1881, taking its current name in 2005. It is one of the most widely hired access platform brands in the UK, used extensively by major national hire companies. Its diesel booms and battery scissor lifts, such as the Optimum 8, compete head-to-head with Genie, JLG and Skyjack on UK access hire fleets.

JLG Industries vs Skyjack

Skyjack is a Canadian manufacturer of scissor lifts, boom lifts and telehandlers, founded in 1985 and owned since 2002 by the Canadian manufacturing group Linamar. Its scissor lifts are a mainstay of UK powered access hire fleets, valued for straightforward mechanics and parts availability. It competes directly with Genie, JLG and Haulotte in electric scissor lift and boom lift hire.

JLG Industries vs Niftylift

The British answer in powered access, and particularly strong in trailer-mounted booms - the machines a small contractor can tow to site behind a van rather than needing a low-loader.

JLG Industries vs Manitou

A telehandler specialist cross-shopped directly against JCB Loadall and Merlo. Strong in agriculture as well as construction, which widens who hires one.

JLG Industries vs Merlo

Best known for rotating telehandlers, which do jobs a fixed-boom machine cannot and command a different hire rate for it. A specialist choice rather than a general fleet default.
