A new brand designed to streamline the sourcing of oil-free powered access platforms has launched this week, backed by leading UK powered access firm, Horizon Platforms.
PlatformSupermarket.com will be a Dingli Authorised End User Dealer and is set to transform how food manufacturing and processing businesses procure and manage their access equipment.
Customers will gain access to hundreds of cutting-edge platforms, as well as all-electric machines known for their efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Hydraulic oil-free scissor lifts are particularly well-suited for the food manufacturing sector, eliminating the risk of contamination from oil spills. Additionally, these platforms feature sealed, maintenance-free batteries that reduce daily upkeep which allow them to be stored in open product areas (BRC Clause 4.6.7).
An added benefit is that these platforms don’t require daily fluid top ups, removing daily maintenance tasks. They are also the most efficient platforms on the market with increased operational efficiency requiring less frequent charging ultimately saving on energy costs.
PlatformSupermarket.com will offer a holistic support service that spans from purchase to aftercare. Services will include outright purchases, hire purchase, contract hire, and part-exchange deals on machinery that enable users to work safely at height.
Supported by Horizon Platforms, a 15 year old business and first in the industry to become employee-owned, PlatformSupermarket.com will have the same team of service engineers and IPAF driver/demonstrators. Bespoke aftercare packages include regular servicing, breakdown support, and comprehensive LOLER examinations.
The firm also offers IPAF training through their dedicated training centre, ensuring users are well-equipped to operate safely. As part of Horizon Platforms, Platform Supermarket holds all the same accreditations including triple ISO and Ecovadis Silver rating.
Rory Duggan, Director, PlatformSupermarket.com, comments:
“We understand those working in food processing and manufacturing need access to safe and effective ways of working at height, often at a moment’s notice. Our customers are busy people with multiple projects and tasks running simultaneously, so we’ve centred our offering around making that decision process for the right machines simple and efficient.
“The range of Hydraulic Oil-Free scissors we have selected are highly suited to the food manufacturing industry as they eliminate the risk of an oil spill or hose leaking and contaminating the production area. This could mean significant downtime and contaminated produce. The feedback so far has been outstanding.”
To celebrate their launch, PlatformSupermarket.com are giving away a 3 -year contract hire of a brand new Dingli 0807PA oil-free scissor lift, worth £11,500.
