A-Plant, the UK’s biggest plant, tool and equipment hire company has invested a further \u00a314million into expanding and renewing its powered access fleet.<\/p>\n
A-Plant’s investment in the latest generation of booms and scissors further cements its position as being one of the largest suppliers of powered access equipment in the UK.<\/p>\n

The company has customers from various sectors including construction, engineering, events, manufacturing and others. The machinery is used for a wide range of jobs including roofing, renovations, the removal of scaffolding and cladding from buildings, as well as for general facilities management.<\/p>\n
This summer’s purchasing spree with leading suppliers, includes JLG, Nifty Lift and Skyjack and is part of an overall \u00a3150m spend in new equipment across A-Plant’s product portfolio.<\/p>\n
Heading up the powered access drive is Business Development Director, Metro Werezak, who says stricter safety regulations has led to a growing demand for high-quality powered access equipment.<\/p>\n
Mr Werezak said: “The latest government figures show that last year alone over a quarter of all fatal injuries in the workplace were caused by people falling from height and half those were in the construction sector.<\/p>\n
“Here at A-Plant, we invest heavily in equipment, such as powered access, which significantly improves safety standards on work sites as opposed to scaffolding for example.”<\/p>\n
The latest investment has seen A-Plant take delivery of 800 pieces of new equipment, a substantial addition to its extensive portfolio of powered access machines.<\/p>\n
