When working at height, safety must always come first. At Access Hire Nationwide, we understand the unique challenges and risks involved with working on elevated platforms, and we’re committed to ensuring that safety is at the core of everything we do. From the maintenance of our equipment to the support and training we offer, we strive to provide an environment where you can work efficiently while minimising risks.


The Critical Importance of Safety at Height

Working at height involves an inherent level of risk. Whether it’s on a construction site, in maintenance roles, or other industrial environments, the safety of operators using vehicle-mounted MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) is critical. A single lapse in safety can result in accidents with serious consequences, making it essential to use well-maintained equipment and follow proper safety protocols at all times.

At Access Hire Nationwide, we take every precaution to ensure that the equipment we provide is in top condition. Our customers trust us to deliver reliable, safe solutions that allow them to carry out their work efficiently and confidently.

Thorough Maintenance and Inspection Programs

Safety begins with equipment that you can depend on. This is why all of our vehicles undergo rigorous and regular maintenance, including the necessary LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections. LOLERs are crucial in ensuring that MEWPs are safe for operation, with checks that cover the structural integrity, stability, and performance of lifting mechanisms.

At Access Hire, we have a proactive approach to safety, adhering to strict maintenance schedules to keep every vehicle in our fleet compliant with all relevant health and safety regulations. Our skilled technicians conduct thorough inspections to ensure every machine is fully operational and safe for use, allowing you to focus on the job at hand with peace of mind.

Rapid Breakdown Support to Prevent Safety Issues

Breakdowns can present significant safety risks, especially when working at height. Mechanical failure in the middle of a job can create additional hazards, from operators being stuck in vulnerable positions to equipment failure leading to potential accidents.

That’s why at Access Hire, we offer fast, 24/7/365 breakdown support. Our expert technicians are always on standby to attend to any breakdowns quickly, ensuring that safety risks are minimised, and you can continue working with minimal interruption. We aim to resolve any issues efficiently, preventing further complications and keeping safety as the top priority.

IPAF Training for Safe Operation

In addition to our reliable equipment and support, Access Hire Nationwide is proud to offer IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) training. IPAF training is widely recognised for ensuring that MEWP operators have the knowledge and skills necessary to operate equipment safely and in compliance with industry standards.

Our training programs are designed to provide operators with a thorough understanding of how to safely work at height, from proper handling of equipment to understanding risks and emergency procedures. Ensuring your team is well-trained reduces the chances of accidents and boosts confidence when using vehicle-mounted MEWPs.

By working with Access Hire, you not only benefit from high-quality equipment and rapid support but also from access to industry-leading safety training to enhance your team’s capability and compliance.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Access Hire Nationwide. We are committed to providing not only the most advanced and reliable MEWPs but also ensuring that safety is prioritised through regular inspections, rapid support, and expert training.
