UK powered access hire company, Star Platforms, has grown their hire fleet with a \u00a32m investment, adding over 350 platforms to their fleet in 2019<\/h2>\n

Star Platforms have continued to invest in powered access platforms to better serve their customers following the increase in demand for safer working at height options; taking their total fleet to over 1,730 machines.<\/p>\n

Star Platforms have also invested in hybrid technology, with the purchase of seven Niftylift Height Rider\u00a0articulating boom lifts<\/a>\u00a0with working heights ranging from 21m to 28m. They have also taken delivery of several Skyjack SJ46AJ 4\u00d74 articulating boom lifts, as well as some SJ66T telescopic booms.<\/p>\n

A large proportion of their investment saw them add over 70 Skyjack\u00a0scissor lifts<\/a>\u00a0to their fleet. This included the highly utilised\u00a03219 electric scissor lift<\/a>, which provides a working height of 7.8m and a width of 0.81m; making it a popular choice for several internal and external construction tasks and two rough terrain scissor lift models: the\u00a0diesel 6826RT<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0electric 6832RTE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As demand for\u00a0low level access platforms<\/a>\u00a0has increased, Star Platforms have continued to grow their offering with the addition of 50 products from Power Tower and a number of mast lifts from Dingli and Haulotte.<\/p>\n

Richard Miller, managing director, Star Platforms, commented: \u201cWe continue our commitment to providing our customers with an excellent powered access rental service by working closely with manufacturers recognised for their quality equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith an average fleet age of 18 months, we are confident we can provide the best machines to our customers that are reliable and always arrive thoroughly checked, inspected, and serviced by our qualified engineering team.\u201d<\/p>\n
