“Over the last year, we have seen demand for our range of access equipment rise steadily,” said Hewden product director Andrew Swallow. “This is, in part, driven by the preferred supplier status we now have with many of the country’s major contractors, which can require fast equipment turnaround and sees some of the most sought-after fleet on hire for long periods.
“We studied market trends to determine the most popular products in our fleet and in turn, chose to invest in some of the latest access technology available to ensure we could continue to meet our customers’ needs.”
One of the first customers to benefit from the new fleet, which includes over 40 Genie articulated booms, is the Shell UK Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port, where two Z45 machines are on long-term hire. The units were supplied by the Hewden facility that is located on the Ellesmere Port site.
