Hiring access equipment is an affordable alternative to buying, whether on a long-term loan or just for a short period. When you hire instead of buy, you won’t need to find a permanent space to store equipment, and any servicing and maintenance will be taken care of by the hire company.
Cost-effective and easy, it is clear why hiring access equipment is a popular option – but which bits of kit are available to hire? Some of the most frequently-hired access equipment include:
- Ladders
- Alloy access towers
- Genie lifts
- Snappy towers
Ladders
A versatile way to work safely at different levels, ladders are a must-have piece of equipment for everyone from DIY enthusiasts to professional tradespeople.
Options include combination ladders, which are suitable for use where there isn’t a supporting wall to rest the ladder against and roof ladders which are designed to provide safe movement across sloped or pitched roofing. Meanwhile, alloy ladders are a multipurpose choice for jobs around the site, and are corrosion-resistant for use in all weathers.
Alloy Access Towers
Access towers, or scaffold towers, provide a secure, sturdy platform for working at height and are available in a range of sizes to suit all applications.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, access towers are designed to be quick and easy to erect, minimising downtime on site. Commonly used for tasks including maintenance work, inspections, and light construction.
Genie Lifts
A well-known brand name in access equipment, Genie manufactures market-leading aerial lifts for use in a wide range of environments.
The Genie product range includes scissor lifts, which are easy to manoeuvre in awkward or tight spaces, as well as vertical mast lifts which are commonly found in warehousing or logistics settings.
Snappy Towers
Another popular brand name, Snappy towers are lightweight, heavy duty platforms which can be assembled in seconds. A simple design makes it easy to fold out the platform and reduces the risk of incorrect use.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, Snappy towers are used for working at heights of up to four metres, making them handy for decorating projects or electrical work. Meanwhile, a compact size means a Snappy tower can easily be transported in a small van if needed in another location.
