We Deliver Bespoke Access
Solutions & MEWP rentals
Need more than a standard access tower? Our team offers a free on-site survey and full design for bespoke access platforms—from freestanding decks to bridging solutions—built to the highest safety standards. We integrate scaffold platforms, scaffold stairs, and protection where required for compliant working at height.
Not sure what you need? Global Platforms provide flexible access hire across tracked spider lifts, MEWP boom lifts for hire, mobile scaffold towers, and access equipment platforms. Choose self-drive or MEWP hire with operator; we’ll advise transparently on MEWP hire cost per day / per week and availability (MEWP hire near me, MEWP hire Warrington and beyond).
Our Services
Bespoke Access Platforms
Because every site is different, one-size solutions waste time. Instead, our bespoke access platforms fit the task, the space, and the load. Additionally, custom walkways, steps, and guardrails reduce manual handling and prevent shortcuts. Consequently, productivity rises while risk falls. For repeat access around roof-plant or façades in Manchester city centre, Liverpool docks, or Cheshire industrial estates, we design for your footprint, floor loading, and shift patterns.
Tracked Access MEWP Hire
Not every job needs a fixed platform. Therefore, we supply tracked spider MEWPs, booms, and scissors with transparent day/week rates. Meanwhile, our operators support night work, tight yards, and sensitive floors in areas such as Sale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Southport, Northwich, and Macclesfield. If a lighter method is faster or cheaper, we’ll say so and specify it—no upselling.
Scaffolding Hire
Some programmes demand fixed access. In those cases, we install tidy, compliant scaffolding and keep entrances, fire routes, and public areas open. Furthermore, we tag platforms, schedule inspections, and brief site teams so audits run smoothly. Whether it’s retail in Liverpool ONE, heritage façades in Chester, or warehouses around Warrington and St Helens, we plan routes that keep trading and logistics moving.
Global Platforms – Sectors
Industrial plants, logistics hubs, retail and mixed-use, healthcare, heritage, and aviation—each brings unique constraints. Accordingly, we plan around floor loading, hygiene or GMP rules, public interfaces, and live traffic. Likewise, we coordinate permits, TM, and out-of-hours deliveries across Merseyside, Greater Manchester, and Cheshire so neighbours, tenants, and commuters stay safe. Ultimately, work continues while access remains compliant.
How we work
First, we capture scope and constraints. Next, we model interfaces, confirm load classes, and agree dates. Then we fabricate, install, and hand over cleanly with RAMS, tagging, and maintenance guidance. Finally, we revisit designs whenever conditions change, keeping paperwork current and programmes on track.
Call to action
Ask for a quick survey and outline design. We’ll compare temporary, semi-permanent, and fixed options—and recommend the most efficient route for your site in Manchester, Liverpool, Wirral, Warrington, or Cheshire. In short, you get predictable costs, shorter windows, and a right-first-time result with bespoke access platforms at the core.
