Powered Access Platforms for Civil Engineering Projects

Hire Safe Solutions provides flexible hire terms for civil engineering working at height tasks across the UK. Our modern, highly maintained fleet includes telescopic boom lifts and cherry pickers, heavy lift telehandlers, scissor lifts, vehicle-mounted platforms and other powered access platforms suited for various projects and site conditions.

Our team will provide honest recommendations on which MEWP you may need, whether the work at height task involves highway maintenance, pole or pipeline installations, underside structural work or bridge inspections.

We prioritise safety at every turn, and we will support your operators with machine familiarisation, as well as help you evaluate the many risks and control measures required for working in public areas.

Benefits of MEWPs for Infrastructure Repairs & Inspections

Public safety is particularly important when working on bridges, highways and other infrastructure in busy or accessible areas. Selecting the right MEWP can help reduce risks associated with operating near traffic, pedestrian routes and public spaces, while allowing sufficient room for safe positioning and the necessary exclusion zone. Our safety-led approach means we’ll help you choose equipment suited to your working environment and your risk assessments, with modern, proactively maintained MEWPs and practical advice to support safe operations on site. All machines include certain safety features as standard, including guardrails, tool tethers, harness points, ground guards and non-slip flooring. We can also provide additional safety features, including secondary guarding and anti-entrapment devices, intelligent anchor points, and Human Form Recognition systems.

Hire Safe Solutions boasts an extensive fleet, which includes the only 82m super boom lift available for hire in the UK, offering exceptional working height and horizontal outreach. Benefit from hiring modern MEWPs that offer excellent below-ground-reach, ideal for inspecting and repairing bridges, elevated structures and other hard-to-reach infrastructure. With diesel MEWPs suited to demanding outdoor environments, as well as options for renewable HVO fuel, electric or hybrid machines, we can recommend equipment that meets both your operational needs and sustainability goals.

Hiring also gives civil engineering contractors greater control over equipment costs, particularly for projects requiring specialist access platforms at different stages. Our flexible MEWP hire terms allow you to access our fleet without the upfront investment, depreciation and ongoing ownership costs when purchasing equipment outright.
