Powered access specialists Panther Platform Rentals have become one of the very first hire companies to be accredited with the prestigious IPAF Rental + status throughout their UK wide branch network. Independently verified to the highest standards, IPAF Rental + is the latest in a series of initiatives by the International Powered Access Federation to increase the safety and efficiency of powered access; giving users from all backgrounds an easy way of identifying suppliers that offer benchmark levels of customer service and equipment.
Offering real assistance to contractors needing to comply with the latest safe working at height legislation, IPAF Rental + is based on an independent assessment of all of the fundamental elements of a rental company and the standards of service the company provides. As part of this, IPAF closely monitors customer service, safety, staff training and machine inspection procedure.
'It is not easy to attain IPAF Rental + and Panther Platform Rentals is to be congratulated on having completed this first audit. IPAF is delighted that the company's platform hire operations conform to the highest standard in the industry,' said Giles Councell, IPAF Chief Auditor.
'When hiring any powered access equipment I'd always insist that the provider meets the standards set out under IPAF Rental + scheme - as one of the leading names in provision of safe working at height it seemed obvious for us to apply for accreditation to give our customers this confidence,' said Brian Fleckney, Joint Managing Director of Panther Platform Rentals. 'Having passed with flying colours, the benefit to our customers is clear - they know they're getting the best service, advice and equipment for all their working at height needs, no matter where in the UK they are.'
