Simon Telelect is a well-established manufacturer of aerial work platforms and has long served the utility and infrastructure industries with a range of truck-mounted lift equipment.
This particular unit pairs a 1997 Simon Telelect aerial device with a 1997 International 4700 4x2 chassis, giving the truck a matching year throughout.
