Access Hire Nationwide Ltd

Access Hire Nationwide Ltd is part of the Kelling Group and has close to two decades of experience in access hire solutions. It serves clients in the power, telecoms, street lighting and local authorities. The company operates a fleet of over 1,800 vehicle-mounted MEWPs, pole erection units and fully electric Access Zero options.

This fleet has an average age of under 2.5 years. It provides van-mounted MEWPs, 4X4 MEWPs, pole erection units and vehicle platforms for hire and lease across the UK and Ireland. It offers access lease with fully managed service and maintenance packages. The company works only with leading manufacturers of MEWPs.

Access Hire Nationwide Ltd, operating from Normanton, provides access transport vehicles, with the two accounts available describing problems. A customer seeking a small kaddy van for narrow streets found that a transit van was supplied instead and presented as equivalent. That same account notes the vehicle arrived with an illuminated engine warning light and was told to disregard it.

Communication also features: a promised callback failed to materialise, and four calls over three days were required before a response came. The second account concerns an accident claim the customer says was not their fault, describing a wait for contact while the claim progressed and a reported increase in insurance costs. The points raised involve vehicle suitability, warning lights and the pace of replies.
