2019 WINNERS

 

The full list of 2019 ALH Awards winners, with judges’ comments.

 

Access Industry Employer of the Year

 

TVH Parts Co.

 

“What TVH does is truly remarkable and unique, particularly in today’s labor environment. They’ve obviously spent a lot of time thinking about how to recruit and retain employees and creating a positive work environment.”

 

Access Project of the Year – Access Equipment

 

Marr Scaffolding Company

 

“This was an incredible, $2.6 billion project. 12,000 tons of steel and metal decking and 4,900 glass panels were installed. Marr’s access equipment provision included booms, scissors, scaffolding and swing stages.”

 

Access Project of the Year – Mast Climbing Work Platforms, Transport Platforms and Hoists

 

BrandSafway

 

“The circular suspended access system installed by BrandSafway for the renovation of Seattle’s Space Needle was the highest, most weather protected suspended platform ever constructed. It was a really cool project, taking a lot of engineering, a lot of thought, and expert management to make it happen.”

 

Access Rental Innovation

 

Skyjack – Elevate On

 

“Skyjack is to be congratulated. This type of technology is making life easier and more streamlined for equipment users and rental companies. It not only streamlines processes but makes jobsites safer.”

 

Access Safety Innovation

 

Serious Labs – ESP Scoring

 

“Being able to track a trainee’s behaviour regarding control selection, positioning, precision, and reaction, is unlike anything we’ve seen in the industry. Amazing technology and a real advance.”

 

Product Innovation (MEWPs over 20 feet)

 

Teupen North America – LEO92SJ Plus

 

“It is a huge factor that the boom sections auto-grease for maintenance. Working indoors through a double door with a capacity of 882 pounds at 98 feet is extremely impressive.”

 

Product Innovation (MEWPs under 20 feet)

 

Snorkel – S3019E

 

“It’s an impressive lift. No hydraulic hoses, it’s all electric and the scissor stack goes into base to give a really low step-in height. This makes a huge difference for anyone climbing in and out of a platform all day.”

 

Product Innovation (Telehandlers)

 

Magni Telescopic Handlers – RTH 13.26 SH

 

“When talking about innovation, Magni keeps doing it. These units are seen in urban areas across North America and are replacing crane use in some instances.”

 

Rising Star Award (Rental companies with less than 10 locations)

 

ABLE Equipment Rental

 

“ABLE has an excellent team: Responsive, professional, progressive and fair. They are excellent to work with and have really told a story of success over the last decade. In 2018 alone they opened three new locations, bringing their total number to six.”
