Working at height safely and efficiently depends heavily on choosing the right access equipment. At Prime Plant Hire, we supply a wide selection of MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) including cherry pickers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, spider lifts and tracked models. Here’s how we help you get what’s right for your job.
What We Provide
A broad range of access equipment, including:
- Our Cherry picker & boom lift hires, with working heights from 12 m up to 58 m.
- Electric, diesel, bi-fuel and hybrid models, to suit both indoor & outdoor jobs.
- Tracked spider lift hires, 15m up to 31m working heights, ideal for unstable, uneven or delicate ground where traditional wheeled machines struggle.
Flexible hire options:
- Weekly and monthly arrangements rather than day or 24-hour hires.
- Nationwide delivery and collection. We offer delivery to your site wherever you are in the UK.
Compliant, well-maintained machines:
- All equipment is fully maintained, inspected, and certified.
- Compliance with PUWER, LOLER, WAHR, and other relevant UK safety standards.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing
When choosing access equipment, here are the main points we help you evaluate:
- Height vs Outreach: How high and how far do you need to reach? If you just need vertical height, a scissor lift might be enough. For over-obstacles or tricky positions, a boom or cherry picker with outreach will serve better.
- Ground Conditions: Stable, paved ground supports wheeled machines. Soft, uneven, or sloped terrain often requires tracked or spider lifts. For sensitive surfaces, tracked machines lessen ground impact.
- Power & Emissions: Indoor or low-emission zones? Electric or hybrid/bifuel machines reduce emissions and noise. Outdoors, diesel machines can perform well under heavy loads. We have all these options.
- Platform Size & Capacity: Consider how many operators and how much equipment you’ll have on the platform. Don’t forget that material/tools add weight. The right size ensures safety and legal compliance.
- Access & Transport: Can the machine get to the job site? Are doors, gates or entrances narrow? If space is tight, narrow-boom or spider lifts can help. Also think about how you’ll get the lift delivered and removed.
