Low Level Access Platform Hire
Safe, efficient, and eco-friendly working at height with Summit Platforms’ range of low level access platforms.
Designed for tasks historically fulfilled with ladders and steps, our low level solutions deliver the perfect blend of safety, convenience, and environmental responsibility—ideal for fit-out, maintenance, and finishing work in sensitive or occupied environments.
Why Choose Low Level Access Platforms?
Enhanced Safety: Low level access platforms provide a stable, enclosed working area, significantly reducing the risk of falls compared to ladders or steps. This makes them the preferred choice for working at heights up to around 5 metres, especially where regular repositioning or extended tasks are required.
Eco-Friendly Operation: Most low level platforms in our fleet are battery electric or push-around models, delivering zero emissions during operation. This makes them suitable for use in enclosed spaces, clean environments, and areas with strict environmental controls.
Low Noise: With quiet electric motors and no combustion engine, these platforms operate with minimal noise—ideal for offices, hospitals, schools, and other noise-sensitive settings.
Floor Protection: All our low level access machines are fitted with non-marking tyres, ensuring your floor finishes remain in great condition, even in high-traffic or delicate environments.
Compact and Manoeuvrable: Designed for easy movement and positioning, these platforms are lightweight and compact, allowing access through standard doorways and lifts.
Simple to Use: Push-around and battery-powered models are intuitive to operate, reducing set-up time and increasing productivity on site.
