Do I need IPAF or PASMA training? 🤔

Short answer: depends what you're standing on.

IPAF covers powered access, for example cherry pickers and scissor lifts. PASMA is all about mobile access towers.

Different kit carries different risks.

We break it down in our latest blog, including what each course covers, how long it takes, and how to pick the right one for your job. Read it here: https://accessaberdeen.co.uk/ipaf-training-vs-pasma-training-which-course-do-you-need/

At APA, our in-house accredited instructors deliver both IPAF and PASMA training.

Do I need a Boom Lift or a Push Around Lift? 🤔

Choosing the right access platform isn’t always straightforward, but selecting the right machine can improve safety, efficiency and control from day one.

In our latest blog, we take a closer look at the considerations required for projects and a deep dive into the wide range of the access platforms we offer, explaining what each machine is best suited for.

With a fleet of over 350 machines all maintained to LOLER standards and inspected before every hire, APA is here to help you work safely at height.

Built for tight spaces. Designed for big jobs.

Compact enough to fit through a standard doorway before reaching almost 15 metres in working height, the CMC S15 Spider Lift is one of the most versatile machines in our fleet. With 6.9m horizontal outreach and a narrow 780mm travel width, it's designed to tackle jobs where larger access platforms simply can't operate.

The CMC S15 is ideal for:
- Restricted access
- Work on sensitive ground conditions
- Building maintenance
- Heritage work
- Confined site access across Scotland.

Want to know if the CMC S15 is the right machine for your next project? Explore our spider lift range and speak to our team today: https://accessaberdeen.co.uk/cmc-s15-spider-lift/

When equipment stops, projects slow down. But equipment that’s properly maintained does more than just pass inspections: it protects your timelines, your compliance and your reputation on site.

By routinely servicing your powered access machines you:
- Reduce downtime
- Extend equipment life
- Maintain compliance
- Protect asset value
- Improve operational safety

Whether its routine servicing, LOLER inspections or urgent access platform repairs, our experienced engineers are here to help keep your equipment working safely and reliably.

Do you know what LOLER means for your safety and compliance?

LOLER inspections aren’t optional. They’re the foundation for ensuring everyone gets home safely at the end of the day.

Anyone using lifting equipment in the UK must comply with The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) inspections. This sets the standards for how lifting equipment must be examined and maintained.

At APA, we don't stop there. Every machine in our fleet of more than 350 undergoes a pre-delivery inspection before leaving our yard, giving our customers confidence that their equipment is ready to perform safely and reliably.

In our latest blog we explore why LOLER inspections are so crucial and how APA’s consistent, disciplined approach to inspection and maintenance helps customers work safely and efficiently.
