To my untrained eye, they look 'mature'...

They were a few years old, but had been owned/maintained by nationwide hire from new, and I had them directly off their hire fleet. They were ‘tight’ in all the pins/bushes/wear parts etc, and the engines and hydraulics were perfect. Totally let down by the electronics which were impossibly complicated, horrendously expensive and only properly diagnosable through a terrible uk dealer.

I've used the IM imer 19m mewp a fair few times. It's heavy but doesn't quite have the sway of the hinowa. Like all machines I've hired has some sensor tantrums. However it is a very nice machine.

I like a tight bush to thrust a well lubed pin in...

Righty tight, lefty loose and don't wreck the bush or you'll have to get another.

 

Strange things happen when you go round the twist, we were singing the theme tune weren't we ?
