When it comes to working at height, having the right equipment can make all the difference in safety, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. At Dromad Hire, we offer a wide range of access platform hire options — from compact indoor models to high-reach outdoor machines — to suit virtually any project.
Whether you’re a site manager overseeing a large construction job, a facilities manager tackling routine maintenance, or a tradesperson working on a one-off project, knowing the differences between each machine type will help you choose the most suitable platform for the task.
Boom Lifts – Reach Over and Around Obstacles
Best for: Outdoor tasks, building exteriors, and projects requiring outreach.
Boom lifts offer both vertical and horizontal movement, making them ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas. Articulated models are perfect for navigating over obstacles, while telescopic models provide straight-line reach for maximum height.
At Dromad Hire: We supply articulated and electric boom lifts from 33 ft to an impressive 85 ft, ensuring you can safely reach even the toughest spots.
Scissor Lifts – Large Platform for Stable, Vertical Access
Best for: Indoor maintenance, warehouse work, and level-surface construction tasks.
Scissor lifts provide a spacious working platform that can accommodate multiple workers and tools. They only move vertically, but their stability and load capacity make them a reliable choice for many applications.
At Dromad Hire: Our range includes electric models for indoor use and robust diesel scissor lifts for outdoor or rough-terrain jobs. Sizes start from compact 19 ft lifts and go up to large-scale outdoor platforms.
Tracked Spider Lifts – Versatility in Compact Spaces
Best for: Narrow access points, uneven ground, and mixed indoor/outdoor projects.
Tracked spider lifts are lightweight, highly manoeuvrable, and designed to fit through narrow doorways while still offering impressive reach. Their tracks provide excellent stability on uneven terrain, making them perfect for tricky locations.
At Dromad Hire: Our Hinowa spider lifts range from 15 m to 26 m working height, covering everything from indoor atrium work to outdoor landscaping and construction.
How to Choose the Right Platform
Before booking your access platform hire, consider:
Height and outreach requirements for your task
Environment – indoor or outdoor
Ground conditions – smooth floor or rough terrain
Platform capacity – number of workers and tools required
Power source – electric for zero emissions or diesel for outdoor power.
