A start-up low access and material lifting rental specialist has invested in new ToughLift material lifts supplied by Access Platform Sales.
Prime Hire Solutions has taken delivery of 20 of the machines, designed to ‘set new standards’ for push-around manual material lifts, and plans to order more.
MD Tom Wade viewed a ToughLift material lift on the APS stand at the Executive Hire Show and liked its quality and safety features.
He said, “The ToughLift machine shown to us by APS was clearly superior to the standard material lifts in use in the UK market, so we’re very confident our customers will also be impressed. We’re looking to build an equipment hire fleet focused on serving clean trades, like HVAC and electrical installation and facilities maintenance, and ToughLift material lifts will be ideal for these clients.
“They’re robust, easy to use, with new safety features and design standards for this equipment that make lifting and manoeuvring easier and safer.”
The ToughLift range carries CE certification which is required by many large contractors and their Tier 1 clients.
APS is the UK and Ireland distributor for ToughLift material lifts. Key accounts director Linda Betts said, “We’re very pleased Tom and his team at Prime Hire Solutions could see the advantages built into every ToughLift machine. They want to offer a new standard in material lifting and that’s just what ToughLift achieves. We’re excited by the potential this product has and what it can do for ambitious businesses like Prime Hire Solutions.”
South London-based Prime Hire Solutions supplies low-level access, MEWPs, access towers and steps, site security and storage boxes, plus material lifting handling equipment, and plans to have more than 1,000 pieces of equipment in its fleet by the end of 2024.
