We contacted United to discuss the purchase of a Haulotte Optimum 8 AC scissor lift (our preferred scissor lift) and their finance options available. <\/p>\n<p>Their finance team was easy to deal with, a very streamlined straightforward process with common sense basic requirements to provide to finance the purchase (I had been in the finance industry for 30 years prior to this role). We have been very pleased with the level of professionalism and constant updates from United in the entire process of our purchase. <\/p>\n<p>We needed to have the trailer modified with a longer draw bar to accommodate towing within all our vehicle fleet, and this was not an issue for United, as it was with other companies we contacted. Would highly recommend United to any size business for any scissor lift or access solution, based on price, financing and customer service. As with any business you need good partners to find cost-effective solutions to allow your company to run more efficiently.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; padding-bottom:15px;\"><strong>Wendy C.<\/strong><br \/>\nCB Construction Workforce Pty Ltd<\/p>\n<h4>About United Forklift and Access Solutions<\/h4>\n<p>United Forklift and Access Solutions is one of Australia\u2019s largest privately owned forklift and access equipment companies, with a company footprint extending across key Australian markets, enabling it to offer a truly national solution that remains responsive to local conditions.
