Skyjack<\/a> helped create a rapturous mood when a SJ9250 RT<\/a> rough terrain scissor lift was used to elevate bands playing at a music festival in the Dutch city of Heerlen.<\/p>\n

Organizers of Serious Request, a fundraising festival, wanted a way to lift performers above the crowd of 658,000 and serve as a stage for the musicians and singers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe asked the bands who were playing, what specifications they would like, and this Skyjack model was the best suited for the job,\u201d said Bart Kuipers, a project co-ordinator for Serious Request. \u201cWe were impressed by the way it worked and how easy it was to use.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And as a fun way of persuading the crowd to pledge money, each time a requested song was played in return for a donation, the platform was raised higher. With a platform height of 50 ft (15.24 m) and platform dimensions of 74 x 168 inches (1.88 x 4.27 m), the SJ9250 RT was ideal for the event. Plus, Kuipers says the lift\u2019s ability to easily raise and lower its platform was one of the reasons it was chosen. Boels<\/a>, a rental company based in Sittard, Netherlands \u2013 which has recently placed an order for a large number of Skyjack machines – helped Kuipers to select the SJ9250 RT, which is typically used on construction sites with rough terrains.<\/p>\n

Dutch pop music radio station, 3FM, hosted Serious Request and raised nearly \u20ac7.6 million for the Red Cross, an international relief charity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
