Powered access hire UK

Powered access specification

We offer a comprehensive range of powered access equipment for hire across the UK. From compact push-around machines to large articulated boom lifts, we have the right solution for your project — with trained operators available on request.

Push around machines

Push around machines

Compact and lightweight, push around vertical masts are ideal for indoor use at low to medium heights. Easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces with no operator licence required.

Scissor lifts

Scissor lifts

Electric and diesel scissor lifts provide a large, stable working platform for tasks at height. Ideal for maintenance, installation, and construction work both inside and out.

Boom lifts

Boom lifts

Articulated and telescopic boom lifts give maximum outreach and height, allowing access over and around obstacles. Suitable for construction, filming, façade work and more.

Truck mounts

Truck mounts

Truck-mounted platforms combine road mobility with impressive working heights. Perfect for utilities, tree surgery, street lighting, and any project requiring fast repositioning.

Van mounts

Van mounts

Van-mounted platforms offer all the benefits of a truck mount in a more compact, cost-effective package — easy to park and deploy in urban environments.
