Whether you require one machine or an entire fleet, we can provide a tailored long-term hire solution to suit your operational requirements.
Businesses operating powered access equipment have a legal responsibility to ensure their machines remain safe for use. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) require access platforms used for lifting people to undergo regular examinations by a competent person. Our experienced engineers help businesses throughout Scotland remain compliant while maintaining the highest standards of workplace safety.
Our LOLER thorough examinations provide a comprehensive inspection of your JLG powered access equipment. Every examination includes detailed checks of structural components, lifting mechanisms, safety systems, controls, hydraulics and other critical operating parts.
Following completion, we provide detailed documentation highlighting the condition of the machine together with any recommendations required before continued operation. Regular examinations not only help satisfy legal obligations but also reduce the risk of unexpected equipment failures.
Routine LOLER inspections form an essential part of maintaining a safe and compliant powered access fleet. By identifying wear, damage or developing faults before they become serious problems, inspections help minimise downtime while improving reliability and protecting operators working at height. Our team works closely with customers to schedule inspections around operational requirements, reducing disruption while ensuring ongoing compliance.
Our experienced engineers provide professional servicing and repairs for all types of JLG powered access equipment.
From scheduled servicing through to emergency breakdown repairs, we diagnose and resolve electrical, hydraulic and mechanical faults quickly and efficiently.
Our services include:
Where possible, our mobile engineers can attend customer sites across Scotland, reducing transport costs and helping return equipment to service as quickly as possible.
Selecting the right JLG machine is about more than simply choosing the platform with the greatest working height. Every project has different requirements, from the type of ground you’ll be working on to the amount of horizontal outreach needed and the space available on site.
Electric scissor lifts are an excellent choice for indoor environments such as warehouses, shopping centres and commercial buildings where clean, quiet operation is important. For external projects, articulated and telescopic boom lifts offer greater reach and flexibility, allowing operators to work safely around obstacles or access difficult areas.
If your site includes uneven ground or challenging terrain, rough-terrain JLG machines provide the stability and traction needed to work safely in demanding conditions. Our experienced team can assess your project, discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable JLG platform, helping you maximise productivity while ensuring safe and efficient operation.
JLG manufactures one of the widest ranges of powered access equipment available, giving businesses the flexibility to choose machines that match almost any working environment.
Working heights vary significantly depending on the model, from compact electric scissor lifts designed for indoor maintenance through to high-reach boom lifts capable of accessing complex external structures. Platform capacities also differ, making it important to choose equipment that can safely support both operators and the tools required for the job.
When selecting a JLG machine, factors such as working height, horizontal outreach, platform size, ground conditions and available site access should all be considered. Choosing the correct equipment not only improves efficiency but also helps reduce unnecessary costs while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
If you’re unsure which JLG lift is right for your project, our team will be happy to recommend the most appropriate solution based on your site, application and operational requirements.
Preventative maintenance plays an important role in extending the life of powered access equipment. Regular maintenance reduces unexpected breakdowns, improves reliability and helps maintain safe operation throughout the life of the machine.
Whether you operate one JLG machine or a large commercial fleet, we can provide planned maintenance schedules designed around your business and usage requirements. Routine maintenance also supports compliance while helping protect the long-term value of your investment.
Following successful LOLER examinations and inspections, we issue the appropriate certification required to demonstrate compliance with current legislation.
Maintaining accurate inspection records is essential for businesses operating powered access equipment, helping demonstrate safe maintenance practices while satisfying insurance, health and safety and legal obligations. Our team ensures all documentation is completed accurately and issued promptly following inspection.
Safe operation begins with professional operator training. As an IPAF-approved training provider, Aerial Access Services delivers recognised training courses covering the safe use of JLG powered access equipment.
Training combines classroom learning with practical instruction to ensure operators understand current legislation, safe working practices, risk assessment and machine operation. Courses help improve workplace safety while giving operators the confidence and knowledge required to work efficiently at height.
Aerial Access Services has built an excellent reputation throughout Scotland by delivering dependable powered access solutions backed by experienced engineers and knowledgeable technical support.

Our focus is simple, keeping your powered access equipment safe, compliant, reliable and ready for work whenever you need it.
The cost of hiring a JLG lift will depend on the type of machine, the duration of the hire and the nature of the work being carried out. Short-term hire is often the best option for one-off projects, while long-term hire provides greater value for businesses requiring ongoing access equipment without the capital investment of purchasing new machinery.
Many businesses also benefit from hire agreements that include planned servicing and maintenance, helping reduce unexpected repair costs while ensuring equipment remains safe, compliant and ready for work throughout the hire period. At Aerial Access Services, we provide flexible hire solutions tailored to your business. Whether you need a single JLG platform for a few days or multiple machines as part of a long-term fleet solution, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option for your requirements.
