Leach Lewis named UK dealer for Dingli

Leach Lewis Industrial has been appointed as the exclusive dealer in the UK and Ireland for Chinese aerial lift manufacturer Dingli with immediate effect.

In a separate development, Leach Lewis said its dealership agreement with compaction manufacturer Bomag was being terminated.

The UK dealer will soon receive the first Dingli machines, including electric slab scissors and personnel lifts, some of which will be made available for demonstration in the near future.

Leach Lewis will also offer a full range of finance services via its finance division, Leach Lewis Capital.

The appointment of Leach Lewis forms part of China-based Dingli's expansion plans to appoint key partners in new territories.

In another development, Leach Lewis has announced it is to part company with Bomag. The termination of the agreement officially comes into effect on 1 August 2012, but Leach Lewis said it will fully support the thousands of Bomag customers who have bought vibrating plates, reversible plates, rammers, trench compactors, single drum rollers and tandem rollers over the last three decades.

Leach Lewis said it hoped to announce a new strategic compaction partner in the near future.
