Salford Quays Access Platforms, MEWPs & Scaffolding Hire
Projects around Salford Quays and MediaCityUK often involve live environments — waterfront walkways, residential blocks, broadcast/production spaces and public-facing commercial units. Global Platforms supplies safe, low-footprint access solutions across Salford Quays including MEWP hire (boom lifts, scissor lifts and ultra-compact tracked spider MEWPs), mobile access towers and aluminium scaffold towers, plus fully bespoke access platforms for delicate cladding, signage frames and glass façades. We understand that in Salford Quays you can’t just block a pavement and hope for the best, so we design around public movement, deliveries and event schedules.
If you’re searching “MEWP hire near Salford Quays” or “access tower hire Salford Quays”, we’ll help you choose the best method for working at height without overspending. For one-off picks, a spider lift or boom is often smarter than scaffolding. For repeat maintenance, we’ll build modular platforms with guardrails, toe boards and safe egress so your teams can keep coming back safely. Every Salford Quays job gets RAMS, inspections and tagging so you stay audit-friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you operate MEWPs safely near the water at Salford Quays?
Yes. We assess ground conditions, barriers and exclusion zones before we deliver.
Do you work for fit-out and FM teams at MediaCityUK?
All the time — lighting, signage, rooftop plant, façade access, you name it.
Can you deliver evenings or early mornings in Salford Quays?
Yes. We can align with quiet hours to minimise public disruption.
Can You Advise On The Safest Option—MEWP Vs Scaffold?
Yes. We’ll compare mewp access (e.g., mewp boom lifts for hire) with scaffold towers (fixed scaffold platforms, access towers, advanced scaffolding) to balance safety, programme, and budget.
Do you provide IPAF operators at Salford Quays?
We do, which is useful where access is tight or heavily restricted.
Can you build bespoke, non-invasive platforms for glass and panels?
Yes. We design protective platforms that avoid drilling into sensitive façades.
