On-Site check up for hired Machines
December 1st 2005

About 40 boom and scissor lifts have been on hire from AFI Aerial Platforms to four different sub-contractors working on the construction of a new glass manufacturing and bottling plant in the North West of England.

To ensure that equipment operates efficiently, AFI engineer Mark foster has been visiting the Quinn Glass site at Ince in Cheshire twice a week to check over the machines.

One of those hiring a large number of AFI machines is electrical contractor HTE of Southern Ireland. It has 15 electric scissor lifts with platform heights to 6.2m, and two bi-energy booms with heights of 18.2 and 10.2m.

An HTE spokesperson comments "It has been very helpful having the AFI engineer coming onto the site regularly because he has been able to resolve any problems quickly, so avoiding any delays to our work."
