customer testimonial
“The process of purchasing our new access platform with Aldercote was an extremely smooth process. From my initial enquiry through to the final handover, all in a relatively short timescale, we were kept informed regularly by Dave. We would highly recommend their services to anyone else.”

EXTEND FURTHER WITH MOMENT-SENSITIVE OUTREACH
Designed for easy operation and low maintenance, our optimised designs use high-quality materials making them lighter than other brands without compromising on strength or safety.
- Extra payload makes our platforms ideal for streetlighting and signage work
- Lighter design means greater payload for tools and equipment
- No noise from an idling engine, thanks to E-Drive, our self-charging hybrid system, so can operate in Clean Air Zones without difficulty
Options available include an aluminium basket for easier access, or restricted operation without stabilisers for quicker access for easy tasks, among many other options to improve safety and productivity.

YOUR BENEFITS
Lower carbon footprint
Designed and manufactured in Hull, and our components are sourced from British suppliers. We are proud to be a member of ‘Made in Britain’.
Fuel and CO2 saving
E-Drive – our unique, self-charging hybrid system, allows the engine to be off whilst operating your platform; you save on fuel and engine service costs.
Easy operation
Our electro-hydraulic basket control panel has been designed for logical operation, and this is duplicated on the ground controls to avoid confusion.
The boom itself is a reverse articulated boom configuration.
GREATER PAYLOAD IN THE VEHICLE
Our lightweight platforms mean you more payload for streetlights/signs.
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
We use stainless pins and maintenance-free bushes, and our slew ring is inside the van for easy access.
EXTRA SAFETY
Safety is central to all our platforms. As such, there are insulating harness anchors in the 2-man GRP composite basket.
