Leguan 265 nominated in: Product of the Year
– Self Propelled Booms & Atrium Lifts
Leguan Lifts‘ latest innovation, the Leguan 265, has been shortlisted for the prestigious 2025 International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) in the „Product of the Year – Self Propelled Booms & Atrium Lifts“ category.
Publicly unveiled during an international launch event at Leguan’s factory in Ylöjärvi, Finland, on January 30, 2025, the Leguan 265 has quickly gained attention for its remarkable capabilities. This spider lift boasts a maximum working height of 26.5m / 87ft and a side reach of 13.6m / 45ft, all while supporting a lift capacity of up to 250kg / 550lbs.
„What truly sets the Leguan 265 apart is its impressive operational speed. It can fully extend its booms to maximum height in just 1 minute and 35 seconds, making it the fastest 27-meter spider lift globally. This efficiency is achieved through the advanced Leguan EDX (Efficiency-Driven Experience) operating system, which precisely distributes hydraulic flow between all boom functions.“ , Euan Youdale summarized the Leguan 265 on Access Briefing.
Additionally the Leguan 265 is packed with all the best features from previous Leguan flagship models, such as the intuitive joystick controls, built-in Elevated Driving Position and uncompromising safety features.
This nomination is a true testament to the latest model in the Leguan family and highlights Leguan Lifts commitment to continuous development and efforts in keeping its position as the trail blazer within the access platform industry.
