AFI Credentials

With the introduction of the WAHR (Work At Height Regulations) and increasingly stringent Health & Safety standards, choosing the right supplier for your powered access equipment is vital. As a leading powered access provider, AFI-Uplift Limited offers a comprehensive range of access solutions, from rental to purchase, safety equipment to accredited training, service and maintenance of machines, all geared to your individual business needs.

Whatever market sector you are working in, AFI can fulfil your requirements efficiently and cost effectively, whilst helping you to comply with current legislation.

With a wealth of experience in the industry, the AFI team is highly trained and dedicated to customer service. We aim to lift the pressure from your shoulders, guiding you to the most appropriate access solutions – so that you can meet your deadlines and your budget without compromise to quality and safety.

A testimony to our expertise is the speed with which we have grown. From only 3 depots with 270 machines in 2002, in 2008 we have expanded to 17 depots offering over 4,300 rental units! At the same time we have increased resources which are paramount to provide solid support within the depot network. To date we have invested over £4 million our delivery fleet alone, securing tight control of access to vehicles across our depot network.

Following the merger of AFI Aerial Platforms and Uplift in 2006, we cemented our position as one of the largest powered access companies in the industry. With a £15 million injection from Barclays Private Equity, one of the UK’s leading providers of development capital, means AFI-Uplift has the financial strength to develop still further in the years to come. This investment is a tremendous vote of confidence in the AFI-Uplift team, which remains committed to providing individual service and support, ensuring customer demands are met on time, every time. With further acquisitions in the final quarter of 2007 of two businesses, North East Access and Central Access, we continue to go from strength to strength.
