Socage’s continuous desire to be present worldwide, to understand the needs of potential clients and fully meet them, persists. In this spirit, Socage, a world leader in aerial work platform production, is proud to announce the opening of its new branch in North America. Headquartered in New Hampshire (NH), Socage North America joins the company’s global network, already established in Europe, Asia, and other strategic regions, further strengthening its international presence.
This strategic expansion is tailored to the specific needs of the American market, with the aim of offering a range of models designed especially for industry professionals in the United States and Canada.
The branch will work with a network of local distributors, ensuring comprehensive territory coverage and providing highly efficient customer service, backed by impeccable after-sales support. “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Socage North America,” said Fiorenzo Flisi.
“The American market is one of the most dynamic and competitive in the world, and we are confident that our experience and commitment to excellence will enable us to provide unique value to our clients.”
The Socage North America team, led by General Manager David Gouldsbrough, will also develop an extensive support program in collaboration with new distributors, ensuring prompt and qualified assistance for clients throughout the United States. With a focus on reliability, safety, and innovation, Socage aims to bring the same quality to North America that has made it a leading brand in Europe and worldwide.
Among the available models are the Raptor tracked aerial platforms and truck-mounted models, particularly the ForSte 92 DA, 105 DJ, and 120 DJ series, known for their ability to operate in challenging conditions while ensuring high safety and excellent performance, even in the most demanding environments.

Socage at TCI EXPO: Speed and Simplicity with the New Raptor Series
The new team’s first event will be TCI EXPO, held in Baltimore from November 7-9. Since its first edition in 1990, this event has focused on companies dedicated to tree care, equipment, and products for industry professionals.
Today, the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is a trade association that brings together 2,400 companies and over 14,000 industry professionals worldwide.
At our stand (1809), covering over 800 square meters, you will find the Raptor 35S (115S for the American market), Socage’s top-of-the-line Raptor model, capable of reaching a working height of up to 35 meters with a lateral reach of 21 meters. The Raptor 35S is the ideal solution for the most complex challenges in high-altitude work.
The TCI EXPO will also be the “launchpad” for the new and powerful Raptor 24S (80S for the American market), a high-quality compact tracked aerial platform, ideal for demanding professionals and rental companies seeking reliable solutions even in hard-to-reach places. This model stands out for its weight, very compact size, and fixed stabilizers, making it the simplest and unique in its category. The RAPTOR 24S can be equipped with the Raptor Stab option, a kit with four extensions that further lift the platform off the ground. This option enables users to take on new challenges with steeper slopes and larger obstacles. It also simplifies loading and unloading of the track on any type of trailer.
These are just some of the innovations we’ll be presenting in Baltimore. We look forward to seeing you at stand 1809! It’s not a spider; it’s a Raptor!
