Why FESS Hire recommends electric models for quiet, clean and efficient site access
When your project demands quiet operation, clean energy, and minimal disruption, choosing the right access equipment isn’t just a preference; it’s essential. That’s where electric scissor lifts shine.
At FESS Hire, we recommend electric scissor lifts for contractors, site engineers, and facility managers operating indoors or in noise-sensitive, sustainability-focused environments. With the release of our new Equipment Brochure, you can now browse, compare, and hire the ideal platform for your site faster and more efficiently than ever.
Why Go Electric?
Electric scissor lifts offer the same working height and lift performance as their diesel counterparts, but with significant added benefits:
✅ Zero emissions – Safe for enclosed or occupied spaces
✅ Whisper-quiet operation – Ideal for hospitals, retail, schools, and city centres
✅ Lower running costs – Energy-efficient, battery-powered platforms
✅ No floor damage – Non-marking tyres and compact designs
✅ Precise control – Smooth, operator-friendly driving and positioning
These platforms are an increasingly popular choice for projects aligned with ESG targets, BREEAM standards, and carbon reduction initiatives.
