What makes the Australian access market tick?

Coates, which is part of Seven Group Holdings, has a fleet value pushing AUS$2 billion, across 23 product lines, making it, as Dan Goodfellow, Group Manager of Products & Fleet Trading explains, “Australia’s largest rental company by a long way.”

Access equipment is Coates’ biggest single product category running to 8,000 units, which is split between scissor lifts, making up around 50% of the fleet, followed by boom lifts in the main, including a number of ultra booms, alongside a range of trailer mounted platforms.
