Pickerings Lifts has been announced as the winner of PlatformSupermarket.com’s launch competition, securing a Dingli 0807PA oil-free 19ft scissor lift on a 3-year contract hire. The prize-winning platform will be based at the company’s head office, where it will play a key role in training the next generation of lift and loading system engineers.
The winning entry was submitted by Dennis Cook, who officially accepted the machine along with Haydn Allen and Simon Parton.
The scissor lift will be used in Pickerings Lifts’ in-house training area—demonstrating the company’s commitment to both upskilling engineers and embracing clean, modern access technology.
“We’re delighted that this machine will support Pickerings Lifts’ investment in people and safety,” said Marco Maccio, Director at PlatformSupermarket.com. “The oil-free range is the cutting edge in scissor lift technology and it’s great to see it being used by a business like Pickerings Lifts.”
“We’re really pleased to have won this equipment from PlatformSupermarket.com,” said Simon Parton, Head of Loading Systems Sales & Operations at Pickerings Lifts. “It’s going to be a valuable addition to our training facility, helping us to develop our engineers. Having access to top-of-the-range equipment like this is brilliant, and our team will benefit from this, by enhancing skills, and increasing confidence whilst using the scissor lift on internal training days.”
Unlike traditional machines, the Dingli oil-free scissor lift contains no hydraulic oil, meaning no leaks, no contamination risk, and no downtime caused by oil-related faults. These lifts are also among the most efficient on the market, delivering up to 38% more energy efficiency than hydraulic alternatives.
They are ideally suited to controlled environments such as food manufacturing, warehouses, and logistics hubs, where cleanliness, safety, and efficiency are top operational priorities.
