100+ Sinoboom for Balloo

Northern Ireland-based Balloo Hire has recently taken delivery of an order of more than 100 scissor units placed with Sinoboom’s European subsidiary.

Consisting of all electric-drive units, the order is a mix of 1932ME, 2732E and 3346E battery-powered slab models providing working heights of 7.8m, 10.1m and 12m respectively. Additionally the delivery included the first Sinoboom 4647EP scissor platforms to arrive in the UK/Ireland region. The 16 metre working height 4647EP scissor is only 1.27m wide with a substantial 350kgs indoor rated capacity. All models come with maintenance-free Discover AGM sealed batteries and are fitted with high-quality battery-specific chargers. High build quality, long-lasting electrophoretic paint finish, protective control box covers, bumper rails to protect decals against damage, and forklift pockets both side and rear, are all standard features in the Sinoboom electric-drive scissor range.

Commented Colin Magee: “The first Sinoboom equipment added to our powered access fleet in Autumn 2020 was extremely well received. The product is robust, good quality and has performed very well - customers now ask for our Sinobooms by name, prompting us to further invest.”

Julie Houston Smyth said: “We are delighted that Balloo continue to invest in Sinoboom equipment. Since Sinoboom first arrived into the UK & Ireland, the range has really grown in popularity throughout the region. Balloo Hire are a great partner who invested in the brand at the beginning of our story.”

Tim Whiteman, CEO of Netherlands-based Sinoboom BV, also spoke about the recent delivery; “The in-depth and positive feedback from Colin and his customers who are asking for Sinoboom by name is really valuable and very welcome.”
