Mechanical and powered access is a key element within the SGB Hire product range. Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MASTCLIMBERS™), personnel and material transport hoists, suspended access platform cradles and Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) can all offer specific advantages over more traditional access systems for projects of all types.

Our design teams will work with you to devise an access arrangement that is practical, cost-effective and highly efficient, drawing from our entire range of powered and non-powered access systems.

Transported directly to the ideal working height

The powered MASTCLIMBERS, hoists, suspended cradles and aerial work platforms are quick to set-up or install and allow personnel, tools and materials to be transported quickly to the ideal working level. They create minimal obstruction above or below the access platform and leave the work face clear for other operations.

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs)

Our versatile range of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are ideal for short duration tasks. Our rental fleets of powered access units are maintained in house.

Whatever type of MEWP you need, we will always find the machine best suited to your job.

Our service offers a complete, continually updated range of platforms which provides a choice of;

  • Articulating booms
  • Scissor lifts
  • Telescopic booms
  • Truck and trailer mounted booms

Overcoming any access challenge

Our mechanical systems have been employed on some of the most challenging projects. It is here that our designers’ skills and experience are most clearly demonstrated:

  • Irregular building profiles
  • Inclined elevations
  • Overhangs and confined spaces
  • Obstructions or restrictions at ground level
  • Complex industrial plant
  • Specialist applications such as shipbuilding, glass installation and electricity line crossings

Scissor lifts | Compact & heavy-duty powered access

SGB Hire’s versatile range of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) includes scissor lifts. These are available in many types, from compact models which can fit through narrow areas to models with platform extensions to provide additional reach.

With room for materials and tools, scissor lifts can be used for a range of applications from 2 to 22 m high. The highly versatile units are ideal for reducing the use of traditional ladders or steps and improving work at height conditions.

Push around verticals also available

Our range also includes manually manoeuvred units which are pushed into position with battery operated scissor packs that allows working platform heights up to nearly 5 m. The units are quick to operate and can be easily transported and quickly deployed.

Options available

Scissor lifts are available in many types:

  • 4-wheel drive
  • 4-wheel steering
  • Spark arrestors
  • Compact versions
  • Extra large versions
  • Various fuel options

All MEWPs are available with fully accredited training.

Articulating booms | Aerial versatility

SGB Hire’s versatile range of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) includes articulating booms which provide the ultimate in lifting versatility, with up, out and over positioning capabilities. We have a range of drive systems available from crawlers, 4 x 4’s and spider lifts with diesel, electric or bi-fuel fuel options.

Suitable for both outdoor and indoor use for maximum versatility and use in sensitive interior environments.

Options available

Articulating booms are ideal for installation and maintenance applications within industrial or commercial locations where obstacles at ground level make other access options impractical.

Some models offer 360˚ rotation, allowing easy access to any location.

We have many other options available, including;

  • Two- and four-wheel drive
  • Rough terrain and crawler drive packages
  • Compact narrow access models
  • Various fuel options
  • Adjustable track spider track systems
  • Trailer options available

All MEWPs are available with fully accredited training.

Telescopic booms | Exceptional outreach capability

SGB Hire’s versatile range of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) includes telescopic booms. These are available in a variety of models to combine maximum working height with exceptional outreach capabilities.

Telescopic booms are ideal when an operator needs to reach work at a distance but terrain or obstacles prevent close access. The machines provide far greater horizontal outreach than any other MEWP.

Ideal for rough or soft terrain

4-wheel drive or tracks make these powered access units easy to use on either rough terrain or soft surfaces. These telescopic booms are fitted with diesel engines are best suited for outdoor use.

4-wheel steering or tracks ensure tight maneuverability on crowded sites and most models are equipped with spark arrestors and extra large platforms are available on some models giving additional reach.

Truck & trailer booms | High mobility powered access

SGB Hire’s versatile range of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) includes truck and trailer mounted booms. Providing the perfect safe working platform for all short-term light work and are ideal for maintenance and installation projects.

Truck mounted booms

Truck mounted booms provide the perfect safe working platform for all short-term light work with one or two personnel in the basket.

The truck mounted booms can operate in crowded urban environments by adjusting the jacking base to suit the site conditions available.

Trailer mounted booms

Trailer mounted booms are mounted on a trailer chassis and can be transported over long distances without the use of special transport. The high mobility trailer is available with three types of power: AC electric drive, electric drive using batteries and a combination of either.

Built in simplicity, outreach & stability

The benefits of mounted booms are best demonstrated when activities can be combined in multiple locations or quick access street works are required.

The ease, outreach and stability of mounted booms provide great advantages to other forms of access when utilised in appropriate situations.

All MEWPs are available with fully accredited training.
