Simplifying logistics during machinery delivery

We continue to innovate to provide you with the best possible service, always striving to improve delivery times and how we deliver the machinery to you. Recently, we have added to our rental fleet in Barcelona a new 3-axle truck with a dual unloading system. A unique model in the market, specifically designed to optimize the delivery of lifting machinery while adapting to its environment.

The truck features a ramp adaptable to different levels depending on the unloading location. The ramp allows for ground or dock unloading. This dual loading and unloading system ensures that machinery arrives easily and quickly, regardless of the terrain challenges.

Advantages of the New Truck

  • Loading and unloading all types of machinery: the gentle slope allows for the smooth loading of electric scissor lifts.
  • Adaptability to different heights: the truck can adjust to various heights, facilitating deliveries to buildings with stairs without the need for additional ramps or forklifts. This eliminates the need for a crane truck, simplifying the delivery process.
  • Access to narrow spaces: its compact design allows for maneuvering and reaching small urban areas or streets with difficult access.

Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

Because renting a machine goes beyond delivering it to the worksite. Our drivers help you overcome any logistical challenges, explain the basic operation of the machine, and resolve any questions you may have at the delivery location.

Advantages of buying used machinery with Manain: efficiency and confidence in every change.

Acquiring lifting and construction machinery is a strategic decision for many companies, as it directly impacts their productivity and market competitiveness. At Manain, we have more than 20 years of experience in the sector, and we’ll explain why purchasing used machinery is a great option. 

The purchase of second-hand machinery has become an attractive option for companies seeking to balance equipment quality with a reasonable budget. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages of opting for second-hand machinery with Manain. Here are some factors that may influence your decision:

  1. Customized restoration: We are committed to making your machinery look like new through a rigorous restoration process. Its premium finish will amaze you. Tell us how you want it, and we’ll make it possible.
  2. Cost savings: Second-hand machinery typically comes at a more reasonable price compared to new equipment, enabling you to optimize your budget and allocate resources to other areas without making a massive investment.
  3. Quality: We adhere to a strict restoration and inspection process for second-hand machinery. Before delivery, each unit undergoes thorough testing to ensure optimal performance and to deliver it in the best possible condition.
  4. Wide range of equipment: Our extensive catalog includes articulated and scissor lifts, mini excavators, telehandlers, generators, and construction machinery. This flexibility ensures you’ll find the right machinery for your operational needs.
  5. Expert advice: We guide clients in selecting the most suitable machinery for their production processes, taking into account their specific requirements and environmental needs.
  6. Sustainability: Opting for second-hand machinery contributes to a sustainable approach to resource management, promoting environmentally friendly practices.

A lifting platform is considered second-hand when…:

  • Its plate year is between 2 and 3 years old.
  • It has been used. For example, today, a machine manufactured before 2022 would be considered second-hand.
  • It has accumulated a certain number of operating hours.

These features differentiate second-hand platforms from NEW or DEMO ones. NEW platforms are brand new and manufactured in the current year with zero hours of use. DEMO platforms are from the current year but have been lightly used (between 1 and 100 hours).

Another distinctive point at Manain:

What if I told you there’s a way to get second-hand machinery that feels like new? With Manain’s custom restoration, this becomes a reality.

We offer a custom restoration service. From minor adjustments to complete renovations, our team of painting experts is ready to restore every detail of the machinery to meet your requirements.

In conclusion, this is a proposal worth considering. Each case is unique, and if you don’t choose second-hand machinery, you might benefit from new, demo, or rental equipment. However, if you do decide on second-hand, contact us to find out which option is best for you!
