Reinier van der End, Witteveen Kraanverhuur about Grip Lifting
Witteveen Kraanverhuur is based in IJmuiden. They are active in construction, railway stations, private homes, shops, factories and museums. Witteveen's customers come from all over the Netherlands. In 1995, Witteveen Kraanverhuur was the first European operator to bring the Japanese mini crane Maeda MC 275 CR to the Netherlands (Europe). Hiring out this mini crane was so successful from the start that more mini cranes quickly followed. Today, Witteveen Kraanverhuur rents out around seventeen different types of mini cranes, with or without an operator.
"The glass lifters are simply widely deployable, and that is exactly what we need"
Reinier van der End, Witteveen Kraanverhuur
"What we notice about the glass lifters from GRIP is that the need to top up the vacuum is minimal, which means you can work longer on a single battery charge. On top of that, the quality of the materials looks very professional. The design is really attractive, so we also enjoy showing the GRIP glass lifters to our customers.
I mostly use the S800 myself, one of the newest glass lifters from GRIP Lifting. The way it is assembled means I can get it to work in any location. The biggest advantage of the glass lifter is that you can lock it when you need to lay a pane flat. That means you don't have to hold it and you don't have to lift or pull anything – it works really well. The glass lifters are simply widely deployable, and that is exactly what we need.
We are also very pleased with the service from GRIP Lifting. The communication is good, they really think along with you and have a great deal of knowledge about the product. This is one of the most important things for us. If the service from GRIP stays like this, we expect to order our next glass lifter from GRIP Lifting in the future."
