The renewal of the fleet with electric, lithium, and more sustainable motors, the establishment of quality standards, or the digitalization of processes are some of the measures that construction and lifting companies are developing in their daily operations. All of this is aimed at a more sustainable future with a circular economy in lifting and construction machinery.

We are at a point where the current economic model is starting to be questioned. The intention for improvement and renewal in companies seeks a more efficient model for their facilities. Technology is a fundamental part of achieving greater sustainability.

What is the circular economy process in the rental of lifting machinery?

The manufacturing process of the machinery is the beginning of a more sustainable sector, as brands are betting on less polluting engines that meet Stage V regulations and emissions limits set out. At Manain, most of our rental machines already comply with the Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament. This regulation on reducing pollutant emissions from engines requires that all modern machines have Stage V engines.

As for the rental of machinery, this process is based on a circular model, as it contributes to the repeated use of machines by numerous companies and clients. At Manain, in addition to renewing part of our machinery fleet annually, we also prioritize the modernization of our technical service, investing in training and development for mechanics and technicians to stay up to date with technological advances in the machinery sector.

In parallel, at Manain, we continue performing tasks such as machinery restoration to extend the life of the products. If we perform proper maintenance on the aerial work platforms, in general, we will end up with a product that experiences little wear. In this way, it contributes to a circular economy, as compared to other types of machinery, which require more advanced wear with little use, in this case, the useful life is extended.

In short, we are committed to circular economy in lifting machinery by providing clients with a renewed fleet, with engines that reduce harmful gas emissions, which support recycling and the reuse of raw materials to contribute to a more sustainable and balanced ecosystem.
