Galen Equipment Reaches Ukraine — ES1212 Scissor Lift Export Marks Another International Milestone
Galen Equipment has shipped its flagship ES1212 electric scissor lift to Ukraine — the company’s second international export and its first-ever delivery to the Ukrainian market, following its debut export of the ES1012 to Malta earlier this year.
Galen Equipment, the Turkey-based, European-certified scissor lift manufacturer, is proud to announce another milestone in its international growth story: the export of its flagship ES1212 electric scissor lift to Ukraine. This is not the company’s first export — that distinction belongs to the two ES1012 units delivered to Malta on 14 May 2026 — but it is Galen Equipment’s first shipment to Ukraine, opening a new chapter in the company’s expansion across European and neighboring markets.
Where the Malta shipment marked Galen Equipment’s entry into the European Union market, this delivery extends the company’s reach into Eastern Europe, reinforcing its growing reputation as a dependable scissor lift manufacturer and highlift solutions provider for demanding, high-reach jobsites.
The ES1212: Galen Equipment’s Flagship High-Reach Scissor Lift
The ES1212 is the top-of-range model in Galen Equipment’s electric scissor lift lineup, purpose-built for high-bay warehouses, façade maintenance, industrial plants, and construction finishing work that demands maximum elevated access. Key specifications include:
- Working height: approximately 13.8 m (commonly marketed as the 14m working height class)
- Platform height: 11.8 m
- Platform capacity: 350 kg
- Total weight: 2,800 kg
- Power: lithium-ion battery, all-electric drive — zero emissions, low noise, ideal for indoor and outdoor use
- Certification: CE marked, fully compliant with EN 280, the European standard for mobile elevating work platforms
As Galen Equipment’s flagship manlift, the ES1212 was the natural choice to lead the company’s entry into the Ukrainian market — the same standard of engineering that earned the ES1012 its place in Malta, scaled up for customers who need greater reach and higher platform capacity.
“Following our first export to Malta, reaching Ukraine with our flagship ES1212 is another proud milestone for Galen Equipment. Each new market confirms that our engineering and quality standards translate beyond Turkey’s borders, and we’re committed to building the same long-term partnership with our customers in Ukraine.”

Building on a Growing Export Track Record
Galen Equipment entered the aerial work platform sector in 2021 following extensive R&D, and began serial production of scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts in 2025 at its dedicated 5,000 m² manufacturing facility in Akyurt, Ankara, supported by a 16,000 m² production campus in Kazan. Since its first international export to Malta, the company has continued to expand its footprint — and this second export, to Ukraine, confirms that momentum is building rather than stopping at a single market.
As demand grows across Europe for reliable, CE-certified scissor lift and highlift equipment, Galen Equipment continues to position itself as a trusted alternative among established international scissor lift manufacturer brands — combining local manufacturing strength in Turkey with European safety and quality standards.
After-Sales Support: Standing Behind Every Scissor Lift We Export
As with the Malta shipment, the ES1212 delivered to Ukraine is backed by Galen Equipment’s full after-sales service programme — including on-site breakdown intervention, scheduled preventive maintenance, remote technical support, and genuine spare parts supply, ensuring customers in Ukraine receive the same level of support enjoyed by the company’s domestic and international fleet operators.
Looking Ahead
This export to Ukraine is more than a single shipment — it’s confirmation that Galen Equipment’s international strategy, launched with the Malta delivery, is scaling into a genuine export pipeline. The company remains committed to expanding into new markets with its full lineup of electric scissor lifts, rough terrain scissor lifts, vertical mast lifts, and boom lifts, all engineered to CE and EN 280 standards.
