Today, we travel to Uruguay to meet Germán Feans, Director of Manger Uruguay, our exclusive distributor in Uruguay. Since 1990, Manger Uruguay has been offering reliable equipment for safe working at height, significantly enhancing the productivity of businesses.
The collaboration between KLUBB Group and Manger Uruguay, which began in 2017, has led to the development of a telescopic aerial work platform tailored to the specific needs of the South American market: the KL26 mounted on a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis-Cab 4x4. This technological marvel introduces a new dimension to working at height, particularly with its maximum working height of 11.8 meters and a working outreach of 5.2 meters. Equipped with a corrosion-resistant aluminum arm that adapts to the harshest climatic conditions, as well as two H-shaped stabilizers providing enhanced stability on sometimes unstable terrain, the KL26 has quickly become the leading aerial platform in the South American market. Furthermore, its 360° rotating basket offers operators exceptional flexibility in their work zone.
Ultimately, this is a tool perfectly suited to the professional needs of the electrical and telecommunications sectors, as well as for both urban and rural environments. Its four-wheel drive system facilitates access to remote and hard-to-reach areas (forests, mountains, steep roads, etc.). The KLUBB KL26 aerial platform is, therefore, the ideal partner for safely tackling height work in difficult-to-access locations!
The strength of this partnership between KLUBB Group and Manger Uruguay is also founded on the well-established reputation of the Mercedes Sprinter. Highly valued by operators and already well-established in the South American market, this vehicle is produced locally in Argentina. "Having a KL26 mounted on such a versatile and reliable vehicle is a real asset for businesses," explains Germán Feans. "Moreover, its maneuverability and ease of use make this aerial platform accessible to everyone!"
Finally, this collaboration has significantly contributed to addressing a major issue in South America: the use of ladders for working at height. "The widespread adoption of aerial platforms has helped reduce the number of accidents caused by falls from height, which number over 2,000 cases each year," concludes Germán Feans.
