Our reputation

Working at heights is particularly dangerous and our loyal customers know they can depend on us to provide high quality equipment, intensive training and support and overall, to ensure safety first on their sites. Hoist & Access Services' reputation in the industry is second to none and we are pro-active and forward-thinking to ensure our reputation grows stronger and stronger.

We have a broad client base from large national construction companies, local authorities, housing associations, petrochemical companies and other private companies and are constantly talking to Architects, Planners and Surveyors from both private and local authority organisations to evaluate their forthcoming needs.

• We can supply a full design package showing hoist layouts on each project.
• We regularly monitor the sites where our equipment is installed to ensure our equipment is being used properly.
• Customers who rely on us and give us repeat business include local authorities, large construction companies and petrochemical companies.
