What is a Site Survey?

When hiring access equipment, ensuring the right equipment is used safely and efficiently is crucial. This is where a site survey comes in. A site survey is a thorough assessment of the work area, conducted to identify specific requirements, potential challenges, and safety considerations before the commencement of any project.

Why is a Site Survey Important?

A site survey ensures the project is set up for success by addressing key factors such as:

• Safety: Identifying hazards and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
• Equipment Suitability: Recommending the most appropriate equipment for the terrain, height, and project needs.
• Efficiency: Reducing potential delays by planning for site-specific challenges in advance.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Avoiding unnecessary costs by hiring the right equipment from the outset.
