JMS invests in the world’s largest bi-levelling tracked scissor lift
JMS Powered Access has strengthened its specialist tracked scissor fleet with a major investment in new AlmaCrawler equipment, including the world’s largest bi-levelling tracked scissor lift, the AlmaCrawler Bibi 1490 BL EVO.
A major investment in tracked scissor technology
This latest addition underlines JMS’s commitment to investing in innovation and providing customers with versatile, safety-led solutions for challenging work environments.
The Bibi 1490 BL EVO has outstanding stability on uneven or rough terrain, operating safely on slopes of up to 15 degrees. Designed for performance on construction sites, industrial and commercial maintenance, and infrastructure work, the machine gives operators access where traditional scissor lifts can’t go – from sloping ground and soft terrain.
Safety-led access for complex sites
Meeting the growing demand from Tier 1 contractors for enhanced safety features, the new model includes the Almac Anti-Entrapment System (AES) as standard. The innovative system detects entrapment risk and automatically reverses the previous function, helping keep operators secure while maintaining productivity on site.
Mark Jackson, Owner of JMS, said:
“We’re very excited about this next phase of our investment in tracked scissors. The Almac machines have been part of our fleet for some years now, and customer demand continues to grow across the country. The Bibi 1490 BL EVO is already out on hire for a two‑year project, which says a lot about its capability and the value it brings to complex sites.”
Dan Robertson, Country Manager at Almac Atlantic Ltd, added:
“JMS has been a long-term partner of Almac, and we have a great working relationship. We uncover opportunities together and ensure the right support for our products is always available. We thank JMS for adding the Bibi 1490 BL EVO to their range, and the fact it’s gone straight out on hire is extremely pleasing.”
By continuously investing in high‑performing, safety‑focused access solutions, JMS ensures customers benefit from the most advanced equipment in the market, ready to tackle the toughest applications safely and efficiently.
