As sustainability becomes a growing priority in construction and maintenance, more companies are actively looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. One of the simplest and most effective steps is switching to electric powered access equipment.
At Dromad Hire, we’ve seen how this shift is helping sites across Ireland meet environmental goals while maintaining productivity. Whether you’re working indoors or outdoors, electric powered access offers real-world advantages for both emissions and efficiency.
Why Electric Powered Access Makes a Difference
1. Zero On-Site Emissions
Electric powered access machines—like boom lifts, scissor lifts, and mast lifts—run entirely on battery power. That means no diesel, no fumes, and no CO₂ emissions on-site. They’re ideal for enclosed environments, city centres, and any project with sustainability requirements or green building certifications.
2. Quieter, Cleaner Operation
Battery run machines are significantly quieter than diesel engines, helping to reduce noise pollution on-site. This is especially important in noise-sensitive areas like hospitals, schools, and residential zones. A quieter site is a safer and more pleasant one, too.
3. Lower Running Costs
Electric access equipment is typically more cost-effective to operate and maintain. With fewer moving parts, there’s less wear and tear, fewer breakdowns, and no fuel or oil top-ups required—translating to less downtime and reduced maintenance costs over the long term.
Where Electric Machines Work Best
Electric powered access machines are versatile across a wide range of industries and site conditions, including:
Warehouse fit-outs and logistics operations
Office refurbishments and retail projects
Data centres, healthcare, and cleanroom environments
Urban construction and infrastructure works
Indoor and outdoor jobs where low emissions and low noise are a must
And thanks to improvements in battery technology, many electric models now offer the durability and range needed for all-day, multi-terrain use.
