With aerial lift heights ranging from 12m to over 26m, we can match you with the right machine depending on site access and ground conditions.

We stock a wide selection of electric and diesel-powered scissor lifts in various working heights, platform widths and weight capacities.
Our full range of MEWP rental (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms) includes both boom and scissor lifts, ensuring maximum choice for any work at height. Whether you’re on a flat indoor surface or uneven outdoor terrain, our MEWPs are modern, well-maintained and fully compliant with LOLER and PUWER regulations.

We work closely with each client to understand the nature of your site, duration of rental, and any access challenges to ensure you receive the safest, most cost-effective aerial lift possible.
With both articulated and telescopic boom lift hire options available, we can help you reach awkward angles and extended heights with ease. Boom lifts offer horizontal and vertical reach, making them ideal for exterior painting, steel erection, window cleaning and construction projects. We supply electric and diesel-powered models for indoor or outdoor work, including rough-terrain options for demanding sites.
In addition to mobile platforms, we also offer a selection of lifting equipment rental options. This includes manual hoists, gantries, and compact lifting systems for smaller or more specialised lifting tasks. If your job requires more than just height, for example, lifting loads or tools to elevated positions, our lifting equipment can be hired alongside your working at height equipment for a complete solution.

Our rental process is straightforward, and all lifts come with safety checks, instruction guides and optional IPAF-trained operators if needed.

An access platform is a type of mechanical equipment used to safely lift workers and tools to high or hard-to-reach areas. Common types include cherry pickers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms). These machines are used across industries such as construction, maintenance, facilities management, and tree care to provide stable, elevated access for working at height.
This term typically refers to a temporary or fixed elevated lift that allows people to view or observe something safely from a height, often in public or industrial settings. In a hire context, it can also describe a platform used for inspection, filming, surveying or monitoring. Our powered access machines are suitable for this type of use, with options designed for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Yes, we can supply fully trained and IPAF-certified operators with your lift rental if needed. While many clients prefer to operate the equipment themselves with the correct certification, we offer the option of an experienced operator to ensure full compliance, safety, and peace of mind on site. Let us know during booking if you’d like an operator included.
