Three brand-new Niftylift HR12s have arrived at AFI Rentals as part of our ongoing programme of investment in the latest access equipment for our customers.

But our investment doesn’t stop with the machines.

Our apprentices were straight into the workshop, getting hands-on with the new equipment and developing their knowledge alongside our experienced teams.

By continually investing in both our fleet and the next generation of skilled engineers, we’re helping ensure AFI is ready to support our customers today and well into the future.
