Grove cuts ties with Skyjack UK

Grove Europe has terminated its agreement with Skyjack UK for sales marketing and product support of Manlift booms. Grove UK will now handle Manlift products. Product support, including parts, service and warranty, will be provided by Samuel Walker, which also handles Grove Cranes in the UK.

Blue Line Access will distribute Grove's Delta range of Toucan and PM vertical-mast equipment. Blue Line, managed by ex-Grove sales manger Andy Norwood, also represents Bronto and has its own AWP refurbishment business.

The actions have been prompted by the tough market for access equipment in the UK, said Grove's managing director Mike Lamb.
