The Sky Is The Limit For Eagle Platforms

Always positioned at the forefront of technological advancements in Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), Eagle Platforms is never afraid to say goodbye to old technology and welcome the next generation of equipment with the end goal of making working at height as safe and efficient as possible.

With a head office in Sheffield and regional hubs dotted around the UK Eagle Platforms are perfectly positioned to service vast swathes of the country with their impeccable attention to detail, commitment to punctuality and friendly and highly trained personnel the envy of their competitors. The success of Eagle, has been built on this platform and has meant that expansion has become a necessity to cope with the staggering increase in demand for their products and services.

Perfectly illustrating Eagle Platforms' commitment to embracing new technology is the company's recent ordering of Secondary Safety Guards from Skyjack. These guards are the result of over 6 months of rigorous testing and are essentially control boxes with anti-tamper enable buttons. These systems, when in place enforce two hand operation and make an upright posture away from the guardrails absolutely necessary to operate the equipment, minimizing the risk of entrapment and collision accidents. This order comes hot on the heels of the purchase of a brand new pristine fleet of 14 metre Loadall telehandlers, supplied by quality guaranteed market leaders, JCB. These new telehandlers have an incredible reach, despite modest dimensions – which offers them excellent manoeuvrability and incredible reach – a combination that's hard to beat. Comfort is second to none, safety is fully considered and there is a 10% fuel saving compared to its predecessor. The workload capacity of 4 tonnes is the cherry on a very tasty cake. It is through the consideration of such detail that Eagle Platforms decides when it is the right time to say goodbye to the old and hello to the new.

Never content to ride the wave, Eagle Platforms prefer to shape it themselves – driving the market with innovative solutions and a keen eye on the next important development all with the goal of making working at height a safer proposition for all of their valued customers and maintaining their position at the forefront of the equipment hire, training and servicing sectors.
