How the IPAF Rental+ Quality Mark Supports Risk Management in MEWP Hire

Is Powered Access a Risky Business?

The rental market for MEWP hire in the UK is a diverse one, with a mixture of large nationals, independent operators, and brokers. All these companies should be responsible for providing a secure, responsible and good quality service to customers across the country. A focus on safety when operating at height, both of the operators and of the goods and equipment being transported is absolutely critical.

Our Promise. Our Commitments.

Here’s a question for you. Why choose Horizon Platforms? It must be said, we’re certainly not alone in the market. There are all sorts of companies that offer various models of powered access hire, from local companies to huge corporates. So, with that many options, why deal with Horizon specifically?

The Trouble with MEWP Hire

Getting a platform hire quote is not always as easy as it should be. If you’re busy and can’t get 5 minutes to yourself to call a hire company during office hours, it can affect your schedule and leave you feeling stressed out. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a quote when you wanted to, at any time of day, and didn’t have to wait for a person to get back to you?
