Browse powered access platformsWhat's covered under powered access hire
Covers the full range from low-level push-around lifts to rough-terrain boom lifts.
Vertical lifts
Low-level platforms for ceiling work and warehouse picking.
Scissor lifts
Stable platforms for construction, maintenance, and warehouse work.
Cherry pickers
Booms for reaching over obstacles and working at greater heights.
Rough-terrain models
Diesel platforms built for uneven, outdoor construction sites.
Choosing the right powered access platform
Scissor lifts give a stable, roomy platform that rises straight up, which suits most construction and maintenance work, while cherry pickers and boom lifts add horizontal reach to get over obstacles or up the side of a building where a scissor lift cannot get close enough.
Terrain decides more than most people expect, electric scissor lifts with non-marking tyres suit smooth indoor floors, while rough-terrain diesel platforms with four-wheel drive are needed for muddy, uneven, or sloped outdoor sites, using the wrong type on the wrong ground is a common cause of getting stuck or unstable.
IPAF categories map to specific platform types, 3a covers static vertical platforms, 3b covers mobile vertical platforms including most scissor lifts and booms. Confirm your operator's card covers the category you are hiring, and consider operated hire with a qualified driver for shorter or one-off jobs.
IPAF licence required
Most powered access equipment requires a valid IPAF licence matched to the platform category. Confirm your operator holds the correct certification, or ask about operated hire, before booking.
