Spider, a division of SafeWorks LLC, recently opened a new operation center in Panama City, Panama, providing swing stage rentals, sales, service, labor and safety solutions.

The new Panama City operation center is Spider’s 25^th location and its first in Central America.

Spider de Panama offers a brand new fleet of top-of-the-line powered access, swing stage and safety solutions along with dependable, local service, training and support.

“Central and South America are thriving economies that Spider has always served,” said Mike Gibbs, area director Southern Region and overseer of Spider de Panama. “Expanding our direct rental presence in these regions helps to improve the suspended access capabilities and more importantly, the personnel safety at height for these emerging commercial, industrial and wind power sectors.”

John Sotiroff, vice president, sales and distribution, added, “Our experienced team in Panama positions Spider for continued expansion of turnkey access product and service solutions in the Americas. With construction markets in flux, reliable equipment and trusted, expert service are more valuable than ever. Spider continues to invest in its fleet and to deliver a better experience working at height — whether in the markets we’ve been leading for over 60 years or in our fresh Panama facility.”

Seattle-based Spider is No. 71 on the RER 100.
