What Is Access Equipment?

Access equipment is machinery that allows a user to work at a height. They can operate the machine in a controlled and safe environment whilst working in difficult-to-reach, elevated areas on a construction site or in a warehouse.

The technology is highly flexible and is used regularly across many industry sectors, including construction, industrial, oil & gas, mining, and government projects.

Types of Access Equipment Hire

Safe, robust, reliable, and meticulously maintained, our wide-ranging selection of access machinery will suit any project type – large or small, indoor or outdoor – and help elevate your business to new heights.

Knuckle Boom Hire

Knuckle boom lifts will help you get to hard-to-access areas that require a lift up, over and out. Versatile and precise, our knuckle booms cover heights from 34ft up to 135ft, and provide both horizontal and vertical reach to work at height around fixed obstacles or obstructions.

Telescopic Straight Boom Lift Hire

Our telescopic straight booms have masts that extend straight for maximum outreach in maintenance work, construction, painting, decorating, and more. Smooth to operate, they are able to get into position quickly and easily, and offer working heights from 45ft to 185ft.

Rough Terrain Scissor Lift Hire

Rough terrain scissor lifts are aerial lifts designed for the movement of equipment or people across uneven or rough surfaces. They can be used in any projects that require stable operation on challenging terrain. We stock a wide range, featuring heights from 26ft up to 53ft.

Electric Slab Scissor Lift Hire

Electric slab scissor lifts are versatile and quiet with a long battery life. They are ideal for enclosed spaces where platform workspace and lift capacity are crucial. With heights from 14ft to 40ft, our range includes narrow and wide deck models, extra platform capacity models, and track models.

Electric Vertical Lift Hire

Electric vertical lifts are safe, lightweight, and space-saving solutions for tight workspaces and warehouses. In our range, you can choose from heights between 15ft up to 26ft. Vertical lifts reduce manual labour and allow workers to complete tasks with health and safety in mind.

How Do I Choose the Right Equipment for My Project?

When choosing equipment and EWP for hire, it’s important to consider these key factors:

Height and reach Work out the highest point you need to access and whether the job requires horizontal outreach. Scissor lifts suit straight-up vertical work, while boom lifts handle tasks that need extended side reach.

Load capacity Add up the combined weight of operators, tools, and materials so you can select equipment with a safe working load (SWL) that covers the total.

Ground conditions Assess the surface you’ll be operating on. Some machines are built to handle uneven or rough terrain, while others perform best on smooth, level ground.

Site access Think about how the machine will enter and move around the site. Tight or narrow spaces often call for compact units, while larger equipment will need plenty of room to navigate.

Obstructions If the area has obstacles you’ll need to work around, a boom lift is generally more suitable than a scissor lift because of its articulated or telescopic reach.

Job duration Short jobs may only need quick, simple access solutions. Longer tasks usually benefit from more stable platforms such as scaffolds or boom lifts.

Power source Pick between electric or diesel models based on where the work is happening.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What’s the Difference Between Diesel and Electric Powered Access Equipment Hire?

      Electric-powered equipment produces no emissions. It is also compact, quiet, and ideal for indoor environments. Diesel-powered equipment is best for outdoor use due to noise, fumes, heavy-duty capabilities, and longer operating times.

      Do I Need a Licence to Operate High Access Equipment?

      Yes, you usually need a high-risk work licence to operate high access EWP equipment, especially for machinery with a boom length of over 11 metres. Some equipment may also require different types of licences or accreditation depending on its capacity, like telehandlers.

      Does Onsite Rentals Deliver Access Equipment Australia-Wide?

      Yes, Onsite Rentals can send equipment to anywhere in Australia.
