Manchester Access Platforms, MEWPs & Scaffolding Hire
Global Platforms supplies MEWP hire, access platforms, and scaffolding right across Manchester, covering the city centre, Ancoats, Spinningfields, Northern Quarter, Trafford Park-facing sites and out toward Fallowfield and Didsbury. If you’re working at height in Manchester — façade cleaning, roof plant maintenance, telecoms installs, signage, glazing, fit-out — we’ll get you the safest, most efficient access for the job. Our fleet includes cherry pickers, scissor lifts, truck mounts, tracked spider MEWPs for tight access, and mobile access towers / aluminium scaffold towers for shorter internal and external tasks. For more complex sites, we also design and manufacture bespoke access platforms that are built to fit around awkward geometry or fragile surfaces where standard kit or ladders simply aren’t safe.
If you’re Googling things like “MEWP hire near me Manchester”, “scaffold tower hire near me Manchester” or “Manchester scaffolding cost”, we keep it simple: honest advice, transparent pricing, IPAF operators if needed, RAMS and tagging provided. We’ll also tell you when a compact tracked spider lift is faster (and cheaper overall) than building full scaffolding. From heritage works around Oxford Road and the universities, through retail at the Arndale, to reactive FM in Salford border sites, Manchester teams trust us to turn up when we say we will and keep public routes protected.
