This is the first time that the Star 6 will be available for hire in the UK, having been particularly popular in the Scandinavian market for its exceptional agility and efficiency. The 100-strong fleet of Star 6s will be stocked across HSS Hire’s network of customer distribution centres and will join the Nano SP and Star 10 in the low-level access range, complementing the Genie GR15. 

Key features of the Star 6 include full indoor/outdoor versatility, onboard diagnostics and an all steel construction and hydraulic mast, meaning there is no requirement for cables, ropes or chains. The addition of AGM batteries means there is virtually no maintenance required and minimal gassing, leading to less down time and increased productivity. In addition, the efficient AC drive motors use less power while providing faster lift and lower speeds offering increased daily battery life and all round energy efficiency.
