Access Lift Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What does access lift hire from 777 Hire cover?
Our network can typically source scissor lifts and boom lifts (cherry pickers) for working at height, plus low-level push-around platforms and vertical mast lifts for lower indoor work. Tell us the task and the height you need, and we’ll match the right machine.
How do I choose the right access platform for working at height?
It comes down to how high you need to reach, whether you’re working straight up or out and over obstacles, and the ground and access on site. Scissor lifts suit straight vertical lifts on firm ground, booms reach up and around, and low-level platforms handle indoor maintenance. If you’re unsure, our hire team will help you spec it.
What is a MEWP?
MEWP stands for Mobile Elevating Work Platform, the umbrella term for scissor lifts, boom lifts and vertical mast lifts that raise people safely to height. They’re the standard, safer alternative to ladders and scaffolding for most access work.
Should I use an access platform indoors or outdoors?
Electric scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts are built for indoors, with non-marking tyres and zero emissions for finished floors. Diesel scissor and boom lifts handle outdoor sites and rough ground. Tell us your environment and we’ll recommend a machine rated for it.
Do I need training to use an access platform?
Yes. Working at height is regulated, so anyone using them should hold the relevant IPAF category, 3a for scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts, 3b for boom lifts. You’ll need to make sure whoever uses the machine holds the right IPAF certificate.
What’s the difference between a scissor lift and a boom lift?
A scissor lift raises a large platform straight up on firm, level ground, good for ceilings, racking and steady vertical work. A boom lift has a reaching arm that gets up and over obstacles and out to facades. Share the job and we’ll tell you which fits.
What is a low-level access platform for?
Low-level push-around platforms and vertical mast lifts give a safe few metres of reach for indoor maintenance, stock picking and fit-out, where a full scissor lift would be too big. They’re light, compact and fit through standard doorways. Tell us the height and we’ll point you to the right one.
How quickly can you deliver an access platform?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
