Working at height equipment hire guide
Match the platform type and reach to the terrain, access, workface and rescue plan. The goal: stable access to the workface without over-specifying reach.
Sequence of work
Four stages.
Check the path
Check doorways, lifts, slab ratings, gradients and ground conditions from the delivery point to the workface.
Choose the platform
Pick a scissor, knuckle boom, straight boom or vertical lift, with the right power type for indoor or outdoor use.
Plan the rescue
Confirm operator licensing, harness requirements and how a stranded or injured operator will be brought down.

Build the request around the outcome
Describe the finished work, quantities and programme before you lock in a machine. A supplier can only judge suitability when the brief includes material conditions, access, operating space, delivery constraints and the expected work pattern. Treat attachments and supporting plant as part of one production system.
Compare rates with transport, minimum hours, operators, fuel, service response and return requirements all visible. For regional work, find out where the proposed unit is now.
