- Access to over 16,000 platforms, ensuring we'll have the right machine for you
- Same day, next day delivery. On core kit, platforms can be delivered as quickly as 4 hours if needed
- We don't like to brag but we hold ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, IPAF Rental+ Gold and Safe Contractor. Excellence delivered as standard, always.
- Our Trustpilot score remains Excellent, meaning we dont just talk a good game!
- We can assist with long-term hire or purchases of powered access equipment whatever your needs.
- Our team of expert in-house and partner trainers can get your team through IPAF, PASMA or construction related courses at our training centre in Wakefield or on sites convenient for you nationally.

I always get a quick response
I always get a quick response. I have been reluctant to use Horizon in recent years due to hidden charges and a couple of failed/late deliveries. I have been delaing with Amy Harrison over the last few months and it has been agreed the 10% damage waiver is removed as we have our own insurance and I 've not had any delivery problems.

The cherry picker was cross hired
The cherry picker was cross hired, a well used 2013 HR17, This broke down on the second morning (Sunday) managed to speak to GTA Stoke manager who just said "I don't know what you want me to do" as the picker was blocking the main traffic roadway through the factory I needed it moving, fortunately Megan (I think) from horizon was a super star and got an engineer to talk me through the fault and I repaired it on site, the machine has an intermittent fault where the fly boom will lower but not raise
