  • No Maintenance Costs: The hire company is responsible for all maintenance, servicing, and certification (LOLER inspections).
  • Flexibility: Hire a machine for a single day, a week, or for the duration of a long-term project.

  • Ground Conditions: Will the spider lift be operating on soft ground, slopes, or delicate indoor flooring?
  • Operator Certification: Do you have a trained operator with the correct IPAF certification (typically 1b)? If not, many companies offer operated hires.
