 In this context, it was crucial for the contractor to avoid having two operators working simultaneously on the same lift, while still meeting deadlines and ensuring high levels of productivity in congested working areas. Compared to traditional scissor lifts – the only other alternative for getting the job done – Leonardo HD and Solo-Gyps enabled Flynn Interiors Ltd to reduce installation time by 50%, allowing one operator to handle the job independently. This resulted in a substantial reduction in labour costs. The Leonardo HD’s high manoeuvrability and compact, intuitive design ensured safety and compliance with site regulations, improving overall efficiency and reducing the risk of damage to structures.
