Desksurfers Available For Hire From Ability

Completing maintenance work over desks can be a nuisance, which is why Ability has created an ingenious product called the Desksurfer.

In this blog, we'll be looking into a few reasons why you should hire a Desksurfer from Ability.

Cost-Effectiveness

Cheap access platforms might have broad engineering tolerances, but they can also be shaky and unreliable. Ability's Desksurfer platforms, however, are engineered by experts using the highest quality materials at an affordable price. Made in the UK, these handy devices are built to be as sturdy and secure as possible and are tailor-made to suit your specific needs, so you can rest in the knowledge that you have made a quality investment.

Security Assured

All of Ability's Desksurfer products, including their Desksurfer Bridging System, are compliant with national safety regulations. Ability is approved by the SafeContractor accreditation scheme for the supply of access products for working at height.

No Need to Clear Desks

When you need to complete work over a desk to access a fan coil or light fitting, it can be a pain to have to clear the desk. With a Desksurfer from Ability, however, you can work above the desk without disturbing the occupant’s belongings so that they can return safely back to work straight away.

Time Saver

Working at height can take a significant amount of time, especially when your members of staff need to clear away their desks and move to another location. In order to ensure that your day-to-day business practices aren’t interrupted for too long, Ability's Desksurfer products are designed to ensure that you can complete any ceiling work quickly and efficiently.

Flexible Hiring Solutions

Not only are Ability's Desksurfers available for sale, but the brand also offers a variety of cost-effective solutions for Desksurfer access platform hire. If you’d like to hire your Desksurfer over a weekend, this will cost you £99.00 + VAT with an additional £33 + VAT for every extra day. If you’d like to hire a Desksurfer for a week, you will be charged £161.00 + VAT with an additional £23.00 + VAT for every extra day.

More Efficient Than Desk Spanning Scaffolding

Ability's Desksurfer platforms have been designed with as few loose components as possible to make them easy and quick to set up and operate. Unlike desk spanning scaffolding, if you choose the brand’s fold-down mast model, your Desksurfer will be able to be flat packed into a large estate car or transit van when required.
