Christmas arrives at Somerset House

Is it even Christmas without a Christmas tree? We think not.

Which is why JMS Powered Access was more than happy to assist with the Christmas tree installation at Somerset House in London.

JMS supplied the Genie Z-45XC boom lift which was used to install the 40ft Christmas tree that sits alongside the magnificent ice-rink that makes Somerset House a must-visit at Christmas.

Considered as one of the best winter experiences in London, the arrival of the ice-rink and glorious Christmas tree is for many, when the festive season truly begins.

This year sees the return of Moët & Chandon as headline partner, leaving their mark on the tree with decorations in the shape of champagne corks sitting amongst gold baubles.

Why the Genie Z-45XC boom lift?

  • The Genie Z-45XC has a telescoping Jib-Extendâ„¢ jib which extends from 12 to 20ft and provides a 110Ëš vertical range of motion.
  • Four-wheel steer with front-wheel, rear-wheel & crab coordinated steer options available to provide additional manoeuvrability.
  • Mini Genie X-Chassisâ„¢ system extends & retracts to provide both stability on the job with a narrow profile for transport.
  • 360Ëš continuous rotation turntable & 160Ëšplatform rotation for fast and easy positioning.
