Harrogate Access Platforms are pleased to announce that the beast above will be with us in March 22.
The Platform Basket 33m Hybrid Spider lift can reach heights of 33m with 15.5m of outreach with an up and over radius of 17m high and 15.5m of outreach.
In reality terms this machine can reach 11 stories up.
Due to it being a hybrid this machine can work silently off its Lithium battery pack indoors for large shopping centres or atriums that are difficult to access.
Fantastic machine for reaching very difficult areas such as chimneys on 3,4,5 and six story properties but even better for accessing very large trees that need to be removed or dropped.
We have now purchased a 11.75m working height scissor lift which can work internally and externally.
if you would like to hire this machine please contact our hire desk (07903535771)
If you need work carrying out at height the first thing to source is how are you going to reach the area to to complete the task.
Most people think automatically Scaffold needed.
Not True – tracked Access Platforms are becoming more and more popular for carrying out high level maintenance tasks and at large discount to using scaffold.
As long as there is space to set the machine up which requires only 12ft you can get up to great heights to carry out tasks.
We offer free surveys to ensure you get the right machine to carry out high level work safely.
The machine is brought in and set up and work completed.
The machine can then leave the premises and be stowed back onto its trailer.
There is no waiting for scaffold firms to turn up.
No ugly scaffold around your property which can create security problems.
No broken roof tiles from scaffold.
No waiting for 2 weeks until the scaffold is taken down.
On average on a 3 storey house we can save clients approx £300-£600 over scaffold costs
This plus the benefits of the above make the choice of using cherry Pickers/tracked access platforms paramount if you are looking to save money and have the work carried out quickly and efficiently.
Scaffold is messy for a building especially having to knock holes in the building to secure the scaffold which never seem to get filled in.
Harrogate Access Platforms are proving a big hit with the Yorkshire public in supplying quality services at very good prices for carrying out their high level maintenance in safe manner.
Our cherry picker is easy to use,easy to set up and we can give you a full familiarisation lesson if you would like to hire without a fully trained IPAF Operator.
Good evening All,
Well today we have been carrying out work for the Hotel St George in Harrogate.
They reported leaks to their roof on Friday evening and by 3pm today we had been and sorted out the leaking roofs.
They could not put scaffold up as it was on the access route to their car park which would have caused major problems if they would have had to close the entrance off for customers both arriving or leaving their facility.
Luckily we were able to use a 18.75m Tracked Access Platform to carry out the high level repairs.
We did have to lower and move the machine on several occasions for customers to enter and leave the car park but we had an Operative directing proceedings from the ground to ensure all Health & Safety issues were met.
The job went very smoothly and saved the hotel quite a few hundred pounds over having to use scaffold due to the height and complex area we were working in.
Next blog is going to focus on ways of making the Harrogate public more aware of the potential huge savings that can be made by using Access Platforms/Cherry Pickers rather than Scaffold and the many benefits that come with it.
We support all companies who want to carry out high level works safely by using IPAF trained Operators.
Until next time!!!
