be a spectacular fusion of technology that

brings a complete game changer to the

market,”Aspac’s Martin Eade said.

Nomadic Skylift launched inAustralia

Aspac has launched Kronos, a ‘Nomadic Skytower’ with a walking chassis and aerial sky

lift which it claims reinvents the concept of all terrain and extreme access gear.

“And that’s what the Kronos brings to

strategically thinking businesses who

are looking for an edge as well as the

potential for industry leading ROIs in a

market that is increasingly competitive.

“This fusion of Swiss and German

technology and engineering is backed by

one of the world’s most comprehensive

warranties and after sales support

available across the country,” he said.
