  • 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.
