A proud part of our history was achieving Carbon Neutral status, and being the first hire company in the UK to accredited this.

Today on World Environment Day we celebrate that five years on we are proud to still be a carbon neutral company and continue to make more positive changes to our Carbon status.

Over the last five years we have:

🍃 Switched our vehicles to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Fuels
🍃 Installed solar panels on the roofs of our buildings
🍃 Switched to electric central heating and boiler (rather than natural gas)
🍃 Reviewed our procurement process to have greener machinery

We are enjoying playing our part in a greener future and can’t wait to see what the next five years bring on this journey.

It’s been 60 years since England won the Football World Cup!

Other things that happened in 1966:

🔹 Won the world cup
🔹 The Severn Bridge opened
🔹 Post Office Tower (the tallest building in the UK at the time opened)
🔹 BBC announced its plans to start broadcasting in colour
🔹 Star Trek premiered
🔹 The Beatles Release Rubber Soul
🔹 Astley Hire was founded

A pretty special year all round if you ask us. 😉

1b, 3a or 3b? But which one is right for you?

If you use powered access, you will know that you need an IPAF licence to operate it (If you don’t head to the link in the comments and we will sort that you for you).

But which licence do you need?

It all depends on what machines you need to use:

🔹 1b – Static Booms – Truck mounted, van mounted or spider booms. All of these come with outriggers for stability and you can’t drive it whilst elevated
🔹 3a – Mobile vertical – usually called scissor lifts, but these are for machines that move straight up and down, no slewing. These can be driven whilst elevated. These licences also cover you for PAVs (Push Around Verticals).
🔹 3b – Mobile Booms – These are for cherry pickers and are versatile in their operation. Whilst the elevation works in the same way as a 1b – static boom, the key difference between them is a 3b can be driven whilst elevated.

If you’re still unsure about which licence you need, our team can answer your queries and get you booked onto the right course. 👇🏼

"We've got experienced operators. They know what they're doing."

We hear this a lot and experience matters.

But under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, experienced and competent are not the same thing. The law requires anyone working at height to be competent; which means trained, assessed, and able to demonstrate they know what they're doing.

For anyone operating a cherry picker, scissor lift, or boom lift, that means IPAF and for anyone erecting or using a mobile scaffold tower, that means PASMA.

Both courses take a single day to complete; PAL cards and PASMA certificates are valid for five years and neither requires significant disruption to arrange.

It is also worth checking cards are still in date. A PAL card that expired six months ago is not a qualification; it is a gap.

We offer accredited IPAF and PASMA training at our training centre in Leigh.
