About Wilson Access Hire
In November 2002 Tom Wilson noticed
there was a gap in the market for a reliable aerial platform centre
in the UK. Having hired truck mounted aerial platforms himself for many
years he knew how important it was to have 100% reliability and excellent
customer service and so it was on these foundations that Wilson Access
Hire was built.
The first aerial platform purchased was a Ruthmann Steiger TK310 and
Tom himself was the operator. Such was the demand for this machine that
Wilson Access Hire swiftly purchased a second Ruthmann aerial platform
and began to look for new premises to cope with the rapidly expanding
business. As demand increased further, 35 metre, 45 metre and 53 metre
Wumag aerial platforms were added to the fleet, along with a 4x4 35
metre Bison/Palfinger.
Over the past few years Wilson Access Hire have worked with some major
corporations such as the BBC and Channel 4 but have also built up excellent
relationships with a number of industries in which aerial platforms
are a necessity – window cleaners, roofing contractors, telecommunication
riggers and glaziers to name just a few.
The aerial platforms at Wilson Access Hire are manned by a team of highly
skilled, IPAF trained operators making even the most awkward tasks safe
and efficient. The team are also able to operate scissor lifts and self
propelled boom lifts.
2009 is set to be an exciting year for Wilson Access Hire. We have moved to
our new head office which is a fantastic, new, purpose-built site where we have
the facilities to increase our popular IPAF training programme, have a dedicated
handover area and full workshop. We will also be continuing to grow and increase
our fleet to offer our customers the most modern and up to date methods and machines
for safely working at height.
