Waimea Group Australia’s product offering is backed with decades of experience in the truck-mounted EWP sector. Today, Waimea offers an extensive range of insulated and non-insulated booms for a wide range of applications, including the arborist sector.
With a strong focus on understanding the customer need and offering lifecycle support, Waimea is able to offer a solution that is fit for purpose from the ground up,” Kingsley, Director of Waimea, advised. “We have an in-depth understanding of the challenges arborists face from a number of aspects – operational, financial and compliance.
“Providing the right turnkey unit with flexible buying options, such as purchase, finance or rental, and the guarantee we will continue to look after the unit throughout its whole lifecycle, from after aftersales support to maintenance, so the client can focus on their business, is important to us.”
Proven utility vehicles for maximum uptime
Waimea Group has a range of proven and tested specialist utility vehicles, and with its vision of Zero Vehicle Downtime it’s committed to enabling businesses to maintain contacts with reliable, fit-for-purpose builds.
Kingsley stated, “Part of the initial build process is to have the end result of solving the customer’s needs at front of mind. For example, this could include important details like storage for the required equipment, such as pole saws, kitbags, chainsaws and fuel.
“In the arbor market – aka the ‘treelopper’ market – the most popular boom sizes are 14m-, 20m- and 29m-reach units,” Kingsley added. “Understanding the application of the customer helps us not only provide the right reach for the client, but also the right style of unit. We offer a range of boom styles, with our articulating + telescopic boom style being the most popular for the arborist. This boom style provides the operator ‘up-and-over’ ability, along with ‘point-and-shoot’ functionality with the telescopic boom.”
