Vorsselmans relies on the right machines, from private homes to large-scale projects.
The ease of use and comfort of the JLG machines were decisive.

For more than 50 years, Vorsselmans has been a leading name in aluminium windows, doors, complex façade constructions, and solar panel installations. Based in Loenhout, the company designs, manufactures, and installs high-quality, sustainable façades, ranging from a single door for a private residence to large-scale curtain wall projects for international clients. With 180 permanent employees and up to 150 subcontractors active on a daily basis, this family-owned business has built an impressive operational capacity founded on craftsmanship, efficiency, and a strong belief in collaboration.
As Head of Installation, Danny Kusters oversees both residential projects and large construction sites. His team determines at an early stage which machines will be required, sometimes as much as six months in advance. “Our projects demand precision, safety, and continuity,” he explains. “We simply cannot afford the risk of equipment arriving late or proving unsuitable. That is why we deliberately choose high-quality, reliable machines and partners who actively think along with us.”
Access platforms as the logical alternative to scaffolding.
Efficiency and safety are central to every project at Vorsselmans, whether residential or large-scale. The team carefully evaluates whether scaffolding or an aerial work platform is the best solution. “When you consider the cost, the manpower required to assemble and dismantle scaffolding, and the level of safety you want to provide, an aerial work platform is often simply the better choice. One operator, faster deployment, and much greater flexibility.”
This flexibility is particularly crucial in urban projects. “In cities, space is limited: narrow access routes, restricted setup areas, obstacles such as tram lines... In these situations, you really need specialised equipment. At TVH Equipment, we always find exactly what we need, from compact scissor lifts to spider lifts and even 48-metre machines. Our equipment requirements range from very compact to extremely large.”
Working smarter with MyTVHEquipment.
For most projects, Vorsselmans uses MyTVHEquipment, the digital platform that provides a clear overview of all machines, rental periods, and inspection reports.
“For us, it is a huge advantage that everything can be managed digitally. Site supervisors can immediately check the available equipment on location, make their own selection, and order a machine themselves. It is fast, transparent, and perfectly aligned with our need for efficiency.”
Nevertheless, personal contact remains important, especially in complex situations. “Sometimes we are working above a basement, or we need to take a slope or ground pressure into account. In those cases, we call Nathaly Geysen, Rental Representative at TVH Equipment, and together we determine which machine is technically suitable. It is truly teamwork.”
This teamwork also proves valuable when equipment needs to be exchanged. “On one site, we had selected two machines, but one turned out to be too large. I quickly contacted Nathaly, and the very next day a replacement machine was already on site. That responsiveness is incredibly valuable to us.”
Service that makes a difference on projects of every size.
Vorsselmans’ projects range from short-term rentals to machines that remain on site for six months or longer. The continuity of these projects therefore depends directly on technical reliability and fast intervention when needed.
“If a breakdown occurs, we are not expecting miracles, but we do need quick assistance. And that is exactly what we get. Sometimes a technician is on site within two to three hours, and on our project in Mouscron, a technician even arrived within the hour. That truly makes a difference.”
Even on larger projects, this level of service is highly appreciated. Contractors sometimes share equipment, project schedules are coordinated together, and machines are often reserved well in advance. “We never work with the cheapest supplier. We choose quality, properly maintained equipment, and reliable delivery. The work simply has to continue, without exception.”
Sustainability as the next logical step.
At Vorsselmans, sustainability is an important focus area. The company clearly sees a shift toward more electric machines, particularly for urban projects and rooftop installations. However, when power, reach, or robustness are essential, diesel-powered equipment remains necessary.
This diverse mix of projects requires an equally versatile fleet of machines, and TVH Equipment responds flexibly to those needs.

Constructiv: Building smart in confined spaces.
On the Constructiv construction site, Vorsselmans faced a real spatial challenge. Due to the limited manoeuvring space, they opted for three S225 12ES electric scissor lifts, perfectly suited for safe and efficient work in narrow areas. The aluminium façade profiles were fully assembled in production beforehand and then installed ready-made on site using a crane. Thanks to the right machines, the installers were able to work quickly and safely despite the complex site conditions.

BNP Paribas: Monumental façade, delicate ground conditions.
For the impressive façade of BNP Paribas, weight was a key factor. That is why Vorsselmans chose spider lifts, which distribute their weight optimally through their tracks and outriggers. These machines are ideal for historic or sensitive surfaces where conventional aerial work platforms are too heavy. At the same time, they provide the reach and precision required for this type of monumental façade project.

VRT – The largest curtain wall project ever completed by Vorsselmans
With 11,800 m² of curtain walling, the new VRT site is the largest façade project Vorsselmans has completed to date. The profiles are assembled on site into large elements, fully tailored to the span and wind load requirements. A mix of aerial work platforms was used on the site, including JLG 860SJ and 1350SJP boom lifts, complemented by scissor lifts such as the ERT4069, 4069LE and 3246ES, which are ideal thanks to their large working platforms. These machines support dozens of installers every day on an exceptionally technical and challenging project. For this large-scale development, Vorsselmans acted as a subcontractor within the THV VRT Morgen consortium, which was responsible for the full realization of the new media campus.
And... have you spotted our giraffe yet? One of the machines on this site has been fully wrapped as a giraffe, making it a fun eye-catcher on this remarkable project.
