The company is a leading manufacturer of crawler-type moible elevating work platforms (MEWPs), designed, developed and manufactured in-house. For more than half a century, we have cultivated a wealth of technological development capabilities, incorporating the voices and demonstrations of our customers engaged in construction work sites in Japan and abroad.
