Jackson & Gocher Hire Centre Becomes Specialist Eco Products Provider

Jackson & Gocher Hire Centre, an Award Winning Company, has expanded to become a specialist provider of Eco Products. The line up includes Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps and Rain Water Harvesting equipment.

This range of products complements the hire of specialist equipment for Solar Installers. A tower and platform arrangement that allows an installer to have a clear and uninterrupted walkway between two aluminium towers (see the attached photo), providing a safe working platform when fitting panels to a pitched roof. With this arrangement it is possible to span an area of up to 10 metres.

With a normal scaffolding arrangement, where the scaffolding will only be used for 1 or 2 days at most and costing around the £600 mark, this is a very cost effective option. To hire enough tower to span a 10 metre roof at a height of 4.7 metres, a typical two day hire rate from Jackson and Gocher Hire Centre would cost only £115 + VAT and delivery. You could also hire a material lift at £75 + VAT and safety harnesses with lanyards and scaffold hooks for £22.50 + VAT each.

They can deliver in Surrey and the South East from Petersfield through to Wimbledon and round the M25 from Heathrow to Caterham.

For further details ask for David at Jackson and Gocher Hire Centre on 01483 527000.
