Klimer maintains a strong foothold on the
M20, placing second for the second year in a
row on the toplist.
Fraco Products Ltd., pictured here, has
stayed in the top spot on the M20 since the
list’s inception four years ago.
is really slow,” he says. “The recession for
this type of product started years ago, but
I personally believe it will grow in the next
months and years.”
He adds, “There are so many old machines
manufactured in the ‘90s still working they
need to be replaced, and I believe this makes
space for a good number of sales. “But the
future will not be like the past with high rise
building everywhere; I believe these machines
will be used a lot in renovation and for this
reason the size of the machine will be really
important as well as easy manageability and
quick installation.”
O’Shea adds that safety systems will also
play an important role in future products, sales
and rental capabilities.
“New developments will feature operator
and installer safety improvements and greater
modularity,” O’Shea says. “Improving safety
while decreasing development costs is a win-
win situation for both the manufacturer and
the customer. Operator warning systems are
also important. Displaying levelling information,
limit switch functionality, power availability and
load information are extremely important.”
