Written by the company

In our role as a leading powered access rental solutions provider, Horizon Platforms delivers exceptional service so that you can complete your jobs on time and safely, anytime and anywhere across the UK.

Same day and next day delivery options are available on our core fleet of access platform on a national basis. Need IPAF or PASMA training? We've also got you covered!

About Us

Founded in 2008, Horizon have quickly gained a name for delivering high levels of customer satisfaction through our rapid response to customer needs. Our business was born out of recognition that there is much more to providing platforms for hire than moving pieces of machinery around. Since that very first day, Horizon has prided itself on providing rapid, reliable powered access solutions.

Recently we became an employee owned business, testament to the fact our team's aim is to always delight our customers. So whenever you speak to us, you are talking directly to our co-owners.

Why should consider us for you next hire?

  • National Delivery through our own pristine fleet or one of our trusted partners
  • Access to over 16,000 platforms, ensuring we'll have the right machine for you
  • Same day, next day delivery. On core kit, platforms can be delivered as quickly as 4 hours if needed
  • We don't like to brag but we hold ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, IPAF Rental+ Gold and Safe Contractor. Excellence delivered as standard, always.
  • Our Trustpilot score remains Excellent, meaning we dont just talk a good game!
  • We can assist with long-term hire or purchases of powered access equipment whatever your needs.
  • Our team of expert in-house and partner trainers can get your team through IPAF, PASMA or construction related courses at our training centre in Wakefield or on sites convenient for you nationally.

Lifter is still on site 5 days after off hired.
It would seem this was a miscommunication between ourselves and Horizon, Becky is a credit to the company and has been proactive in resolving the issue. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Hi Matthew, I'm sorry you're unhappy with the collection of your off-hired machine with us. Becky from our Hire Desk has tried to call you this morning, as we take all feedback, good and bad, seriously. Christmas is a particularly busy time for us, and we do aim to collect within 7 days of off-hiring. I do however hope that your experience with us has been satisfactory. Thank you for your continued business and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Christmas. Rory Duggan (Managing Director)
