Scissor and boom lifts from Nationwide Access helped overcome several
access challenges for contractors MAS Architectural Ltd during work on a new Dixons call centre in Sheffield.

Rough terrain, self-levelling 9250 scissors enabled MAS Architectural Ltd to work on uneven ground whilst installing aluminium window modules in the three-storey call centre.

Contracts director Tim Wheeler said: "The self-levelling features of the scissors were a big advantage because the ground was rough during the initial stages of the call centre's construction. The 9250 scissors also had extending decks which gave us a greater working area and reduced the number of times the machines needed to be moved."

With a working height of 17.2 metres, the 9250's extending decks gave a total platform length of 7.3m.

As well as hiring scissors from the Nationwide fleet, MAS Architectural also hired a 60/34 articulating boom lift so that they could easily manoeuvre around a projecting steel structure which formed part of a solar shading installation. The boom has a working height of 20.3m and an outreach of 10.4m.
