Magni recognised early that the biggest trend in the industry is to lift safer, higher and heavier multi-level construction site, a machine with a five-tonne lift and 26-metre reach would usually have been the standard,” says Boon. “Now machines are available for bigger projects with heavy lift capability up to 13 tonnes and machines with a reach of 51 metres.” APS have supplied a number of machines across
New Zealand including a rotating machine to Ports of Auckland and New Zealand’s largest telehandler, a massive Magni HTH24.11 (24-tonne lift) machine to Ghella Abergeldie Joint Venture which is working on the Watercare Main Central Interceptor tunnel project in Auckland. ‘This kind of versality and safety is exactly what I have
APS Equipment and Magni a winning combination Italian designed and manufactured Magni telehandlers have won three LLEAP (Lifting Equipment and Aerial Platforms) awards in a row. Magni produces some of the world’s biggest telehandlers – HTH50.14 (50-ton lift) and highest rotating telehandler – RTH6.51 (six-ton lift) with an impressive 51-metre reach. As well as being the New Zealand distributor for Magni telehandlers, APS Equipment has a fleet of 20 hire telehandlers from 2.5-ton lift to 12-ton lift and eight to 20 metre reach.

been looking for’ is a rejoinder that Boon is getting on a regular basis. “Magni recognised early that the biggest trend in the industry is the desire by end users to lift safer, higher and heavier and, as a result, Magni has become the industry leader in all of these categories,” he says. Magni rotating telehandlers are one of the safest machines to operate on the worksite. Self-levelling stabiliser legs combined with attachment recognition and on-board diagnostics show the position of the load in real time. “The machines are backed by factory trained mechanics, remote diagnostic
technology and a nationwide service network,” says Boon. “Rotating telehandlers act like cranes in that they have a cab that continuously spins 360°, enabling the unique pick-and-place capability that is the hallmark of this class of equipment. “Without a need to drive the materials, a rotating telehandler reduces load transport times and increases productivity,” he says. Rotating telehandlers are also a solution for compact jobsites, where their greater lift heights and reach can place many of the jobsite materials without the need to reposition the machine.
