Buy or hire the Optimum 8 if...
The Haulotte Optimum 8 is a compact battery scissor lift built for the same fit-out, maintenance and light industrial access jobs as the Genie GS-1932 and JLG 1930ES, and it is one of Haulotte's most hired models on UK access platform fleets. Its roll-out platform extension adds extra reach for jobs such as ceiling tile or cable tray work without repositioning the machine. Haulotte no longer runs its own UK hire arm, having sold that business to HSS, so UK availability now comes through independent and national hire companies stocking the brand.
