Nationwide Platforms - Film and TV

Nationwide Platforms is the UK’s largest powered access rental business, providing a fleet of more than 14,000 machines from a network of 31 depots across the country to the Film and TV industry. We are ideally located close to all major production studios with depots in Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, London, Durham and Glasgow, among many others.

We’re proud to offer your production the widest selection of powered access equipment in the country, including a complete range of scissor lifts, boom lifts, low level access platforms and both van and truck mounted platforms. We also provide a fleet of trailer mounted booms and specialist equipment, such as tracked access and narrow spider machines, as well as enhanced material handling solutions for wendy lighting frames, Gainsborough brackets, camera pods and high capacity cages to fulfil all your platform rental requirements.

To complement our access platform equipment, we offer a wide range of working at height courses to include accredited IPAF Training, PASMA courses and safety courses.

Nationwide Platforms have been supplying powered access equipment to the broadcasting & events sectors for decades, so it’s reassuring to know that we are approved suppliers to the BBC, Sky, ITV, Channel 4 and The Walt Disney Company. We’re also the first powered access supplier recommended by Albert; a BAFTA governed consortium taking action on environmental sustainability in the UK production and broadcasting industry.
