FrançaisAlmaCrawler celebrates 9 year anniversary!
We celebrated our 9th birthday with a new company video and big plans
When we think back to the serendipitous beginning of AlmaCrawler that April 2, 2013 – we are filled with pride for our now 70+ strong team. We are also humbled by the support our global partners and clients have shown us since Andrea Artoni and Pietro Agosta del Forte decided to start a business nine years ago.
We remember well the first tracked scissor lift that travelled wide and far to show all those who would have us just what we had in mind! We also know each and every one of the first companies and their owners that bought an Almac product (some of them still own and use it!). And finally today we can boldly say we have carved ourselves a path in the access industry – it has been an amazing adventure. We have grown, we now offer 5 product lines, have 2 subsidiaries – in the UK and Australia – and more than 38 dealers worldwide.
In a few words, we would like to thank you because all this would not have been possible without your support as well as the sheer will, enthusiasm and stamina of our entire team.
Please enjoy our new company video, shot with the help of the whole AlmaCrawler team, a little surprise we’ve been working on for the last few months! Since we had so much fun making this footage – be on the lookout for a behind the scenes special!

AlmaCrawler in the IAPAs Shortlist
We are excited to travel to London today to attend the IAPAs – our Billennium SpiderBoom B1890 Quick-Pro has been shortlisted for the IAPA Awards Product of the Year – Self Propelled Booms & Atrium Lifts category.
We’re looking forward to the event tomorrow, 10 March 2022, at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington.
We at AlmaCrawler pride ourselves for pushing the boundaries of the status-quo in the aerial platform sector, investing significant resources in research and development with the aim of creating innovation that can simplify and make work safer at high altitudes.
The Billennium line – self-propelled aerial platforms with stabilisers – features two variations for the stabilisation system: VISUAL for products with fixed stabilisation and Quick-Pro for variable area stabilisation. This range of products features two innovative patent-pending systems:
- the first is the AWP system – Adaptive Working Performance – which, thanks to the presence of sensors on the stabilisers, allows the platform to detect the actual position of the machine in real time, automatically adapting its performance;
- the second system is called SPS – Self-Propelled skill System – and allows the platform to be used at height without the use of stabilisers, even on longitudinal slopes of up to 10°.
The Billennium B1890 Quick-Pro model differentiates itself by allowing the operator to easily and simply choose between six different configurations, depending on the space available to the operator. With a working height of 18m, a maximum outreach of 10.9m, and most importantly a travel height of 9m – the only stabilized telescopic tracked platform able to travel at height – it is certainly one of our most innovative products.
Officialy launched in April 2021, the Billennium B1890 EVO Quick-Pro has quickly attracted considerable interest from the industry, even winning the Italplatform Innovative Product award in October 2021, an award we at AlmaCrawler took great pride in.
While we impatiently wait for the IAPA Awards that will be held tomorrow, we can only thank all our customers and partners for the incredible support and interest dedicated to us and our products!

Briggs Equipment adds AlmaCrawler’s Jibbi and Bibi line to their fleet
First units of Jibbi 1250 EVO and Bibi 1090 EVO were delivered to Briggs Equipment by Inspectec Access Equipment Sales
The company was acquired by Charles Sammons in 1952 and became a proper independent division of Sammons Enterprises – which is largely a financial and insurance group – in 1996, when it also dropped the Weaver name, becoming Briggs Equipment. That same year it opened its first overseas operation in Mexico, where it was appointed the Yale forklift dealer.
In 2006 it moved into the UK when it acquired the material handling division of Caterpillar dealer Finning UK which said at the time that it wanted to focus its efforts on its Hewden rental business.

In order to cater to that increasing demand our goal was to reinforce our presence in the country through a strategic partnership with market-aware, experienced, business-savvy partners. This is why we were pleased to define this agreement with MULTI AWP and partner companies Spiderlift and Male Zurawie managed by Mr Lucjan Bogdan and Piotr Niewiarowski, and therefore be able to offer a full coverage for sales and dedicated service all around Poland, for both our AWP Line (BIBI, JIBBI and Billennium machines) as well as the Material Handling Line – the Multi-Loader range.”
Following a series of both virtual and live negotiations, AlmaCrawler and MULTI AWP have reached an agreement, both confident that the partnership will be able to offer the Polish market a higher standard of services.
