Why Choose Contract Hire?

Contract hire offers a flexible and cost-effective solution, allowing you to spread the cost of your access platform over an agreed period. With lower monthly payments and the option to return the equipment or make a final payment to purchase it outright, it’s an ideal choice for businesses seeking affordability and adaptability.

Benefits of Contract Hire

Our contract hire packages are designed to make it simple for businesses to access the equipment they need for working at height:

  • Brand New Equipment: Choose from the latest access platforms with zero deposit options. Flexible payment terms include upfront payment, hire purchase, or contract hire.
  • Approved Used Platforms: Fully refurbished machines available with warranties of up to 180 days.
  • Nationwide Delivery: Fast and reliable delivery anywhere in the UK.
  • Maintenance and Aftercare: Comprehensive servicing and maintenance included, with support from our team of experienced field engineers.
  • Professional Handovers: Receive personalised training from certified specialists to ensure safe and effective use of your equipment.
  • Extensive Stock: A wide range of new and refurbished platforms ready for immediate dispatch.

How Does Contract Hire Work?

Contract hire is a straightforward and budget-friendly financing option. It provides long-term access to your chosen access platform(s) for a duration of 36 to 84 months, with ongoing maintenance and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections included. You’ll also have access to a dedicated advisor who understands your business needs, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

We support businesses across a variety of sectors, including:

  • Manufacturing and engineering

  • Mechanical and electrical services

  • Education & facilities management

  • Construction and fit-outs

  • Warehousing and logistics

  • Food production and processing

Tailored Solutions Across the UK

Since the introduction of the Working at Height Regulations, many organisations have recognised the need for permanent access solutions to ensure compliance and improve safety. From compact platforms offering an alternative to ladders and scaffolds to larger models with extensive reach, we can help you find the right equipment for your specific requirements.

At the end of your contract, you have several options to choose from: Returning the platform with no further obligations, upgrade to a new or improved platform, purchase the equipment by paying a final fee, extend your contract for an additional term (minimum of 12 months).

While purchasing an access platform outright might be suitable for businesses with consistent long-term needs, it also involves taking on the responsibility for maintenance, repairs, and regular LOLER inspections. With contract hire, all of this is included, giving you peace of mind and reducing administrative burden. Additionally, you retain the flexibility to decide whether to keep or return the platform at the end of the hire period.

  • Outright Purchase: Ideal for those who need permanent ownership and can manage maintenance responsibilities independently.
  • Hire Purchase: Spread the cost over an agreed term and own the platform at the end of the agreement. Aftercare can be added for an additional fee.
