As the aerial work platform industry grows, remote control, load management, and real-time diagnostics improve efficiency and safety. This interview looks at the growing need for next-generation access equipment and how Magni Telehandlers influence the future of construction projects.

What potential demand do you foresee for access equipment with the government’s push for massive infrastructural development?

With the government’s vigorous drive for infrastructure development, demand for versatile, high-performance access equipment will likely skyrocket in the coming three years. Due to their restricted utility and increased operational expenses, traditional single-purpose devices, such as cranes and man-lifts, are becoming less practical. Instead, organisations are turning to Magni Telehandlers, which have multi-purpose capabilities and reduce the need for multiple machines while increasing productivity, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Which advanced technologies are evolving to operate better and maintain aerial work platforms?

The aerial work platform industry continuously expands, with cutting-edge technologies to improve safety, precision, and operational efficiency. The most significant developments are EN 280 compliance, which ensures conformity to demanding European safety standards. Remote operation enables the user to manage the equipment from a safe distance, providing greater control. Load and overload sensors also keep the machine stable by preventing excessive loads. Emergency stop buttons are also provided on the work platform to allow for fast shutdown in an emergency.

What are the additional cost implications associated with advanced equipment? How will it impact contractors and users?
Magni Telehandlers are premium Italian-engineered devices with cutting-edge technology that give exceptional performance. While the initial price may be equivalent to traditional equipment, they provide an excellent ROI (Return on price) by replacing numerous units with one unit. For example, a manlift in the same price range has only one function. In contrast, a Magni Telehandler is a 5-in-1 machine that may be used as an aerial work platform (MEWP), forklift, crane, material handler, or remote-controlled lifting system. This mobility lowers total ownership costs, decreases downtime, and boosts efficiency, making it a more cost-effective choice for contractors.

Which products and equipment do you offer in this segment, and what are their application advantages?
We provide the whole Magni Telehandler line, responding to various industry needs. The RTH 5.25 is the most popular because it strikes the ideal mix of lifting capability, height, and adaptability. It is a 5-ton forklift, crane, and 25-meter MEWP. It also includes a remote control, enabling seamless machine operation from the ground or a platform.

Due to rising demand for higher lift heights, the RTH 6.31, RTH 6.51, and RTH 8.46 models are becoming increasingly popular for projects requiring extended reach and heavy-duty lifting. These tools improve job site efficiency, safety, and adaptability, making them a must-have asset in modern infrastructure projects.

How are technologies helping you ensure the maximum safety of equipment and the operator?

Magni Telehandlers are outfitted with cutting-edge safety measures to safeguard operators and job site people. These include automated load management systems that ensure safe handling of varying loads, stabilisation control technology that improves balance on uneven terrains, real-time remote monitoring and diagnostics that allow for preemptive maintenance to prevent equipment failure, and emergency stop mechanisms and overload sensors that prevent operational hazards and ensure rapid response during emergencies. These technologies work together to reduce risks and provide the greatest worker safety.

What strategies exist to realign market demand, improve operational efficiency, and provide cost-effective products for construction projects?

To encourage market acceptance and allow contractors to experience the benefits of Magni Telehandlers, ARISPL has launched a “Try and Buy” program, which allows potential purchasers to test the machine for one month before making a purchase decision. This effort assists clients in evaluating real-world performance before investing, reducing hesitation in converting from traditional equipment to multi-purpose telehandlers, and improving cost-effectiveness for building projects by picking the appropriate machine for the job. This customer-centric strategy ensures that organisations make sound investment decisions, increasing productivity and lowering long-term costs.
