Speedy Powered Access has bought another 380 Dingli mobile elevating work platforms to replenish and expand its fleet.

It follows the purchase of 130 Dingli lifts in April 2021, less than a year ago.

The latest shipment again comprises scissor lifts and mast lifts, with working heights ranging from 6.7 metres up to 15.7 metres.

The equipment is available from Speedy’s 10 specialist powered access centres across the UK.

Andy Briggs, managing director of Speedy Powered Access, said: “We’re making significant investments to replenish and expand our powered access fleet to boost availability of the sustainable assets they require UK wide. We’re already seeing strong demand for the new Dingli machines as we help contractors to work safely, sustainably and efficiently at height.”

Dingli general manager Andy Northwood said: “It’s a strong vote of confidence that Speedy has chosen to make its second major order with us….as it strives to provide the best assets to its UK wide base of customers.”

Speedy Powered Access was formed in November 2020, following the merger of Speedy’s existing powered access businesses with three acquisitions – Prolift, Platform Sales & Hire and Lifterz. Since then, the division has invested more than £20m in powered access machinery, adding more than 700 units to its fleet, including models from Skyjack, Genie and Niftylift as well as Dingli.
