Galen Equipment Completes Its First International Manlift Export — ES1012 Scissor Lift Ships to Malta
On 14 May 2026, Galen Equipment shipped two ES1012 scissor lifts to Malta — the company’s first-ever export of a manlift and aerial work platform (AWP), marking a landmark step in its international growth.
Galen Equipment is proud to announce a defining milestone in its history: the successful completion of its first international export. On 14 May 2026, two units of the ES1012 scissor lift — one of the most reliable manlifts and personnel lifting platforms in its class — were formally dispatched to Malta, marking the company’s entry into the global aerial work platform (AWP) market.
A Manlift Engineered and Built by Galen Equipment: The ES1012
The ES1012 is not an off-the-shelf product — it is a scissor lift and personnel lifting platform designed and manufactured entirely in-house at Galen Equipment’s dedicated 5,000 m² production facility in Akyurt, Ankara. Born out of an extensive R&D programme initiated in 2021, this manlift was developed from the ground up to meet European industrial and safety standards, achieving CE marking and EN 280 certification before its first unit ever left the factory floor.
What sets the ES1012 apart from comparable manlifts on the market is its PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) powerpack — a technology that delivers superior energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and reduced maintenance requirements compared to conventional drive systems. Paired with European control systems and a compact, robust chassis, this scissor lift and personnel lifting platform performs reliably across a wide range of indoor and outdoor working environments, from construction sites and industrial facilities to warehouses and building maintenance operations.
Why the ES1012 Scissor Lift Was Chosen for Galen’s First Export
The selection of the ES1012 for this inaugural international shipment was no coincidence. As the top-ranked model in Galen Equipment’s product range, this manlift has consistently proven its value among demanding professionals who require both performance and dependability. Its CE certification and EN 280 compliance make it fully ready for the European regulatory environment — positioning the ES1012 as an ideal aerial work platform solution for clients in Malta and across the European market.
