Access Platform Hire for Building Surveying
Building surveyors rely on clear, safe access to inspect roofs, facades and elevated structures accurately. Palmer Access provides the secure working platforms needed to carry out surveys at height, whether for insurance reports, maintenance planning or detailed condition assessments.
Our truck mounted access platforms and tracked boom spiders are operated by fully qualified staff who position each machine precisely, ensuring surveyors can focus on their work. From single-storey residential properties to high-level office buildings, we deliver efficient, dependable access wherever it’s required across Scotland and the north of England.
Access Platforms for Building Inspections
Our fleet provides stable, high-level access for roof, chimney and external structure inspections. The flexibility of truck mounted platforms allows surveyors to view properties from multiple angles, capturing images and details safely at height.
Each setup is quick and secure, helping surveyors spend more time inspecting and less time waiting for access. The right platform saves time and improves accuracy, delivering the clarity needed for detailed assessments.


Safe Working at Height for Surveying Projects
Every hire includes a trained operator and fully LOLER-certified equipment, giving surveyors a secure and reliable platform to work from. Our operators carry out site assessments before setup to ensure stable ground and safe positioning in every environment.
With safety handled by our experienced team, surveyors can concentrate fully on their inspection. It’s a professional partnership that keeps projects efficient, compliant and supported by a strong safety culture.
Reliable Access Solutions for Detailed Assessments
Some sites require compact, lightweight equipment to reach enclosed or restricted spaces. Our tracked boom spiders are ideal for internal courtyards, atriums and narrow urban sites, providing smooth movement and excellent reach for thorough inspections.
Their versatility ensures every area can be accessed safely, even in locations where larger vehicles cannot operate. With advanced control systems and precise manoeuvrability, these platforms deliver a steady, confident working position for accurate reporting.
