Specialist Access Platform and Underbridge Hire

About RKP Access Platforms

RKP Access Platforms – Specialist Access Platform Hire Across the UK

RKP Access Platforms is a family-run powered access equipment hire company based in Birtley, County Durham, between Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The company supplies specialist access machinery to help contractors, infrastructure teams and businesses reach, inspect, maintain and work safely in difficult-to-access locations.

With extensive experience in the access industry, RKP provides underbridge access platforms, bridge inspection units, truck-mounted cherry pickers, self-drive access platforms and specialist powered access equipment. Nationwide coverage enables customers to discuss access requirements for projects throughout the UK.

Specialist Underbridge Access and Bridge Inspection Platforms

RKP supplies underbridge access units designed to provide access beneath bridges and other structures for inspection, maintenance and associated work. These specialist machines help project teams reach areas that can be difficult to access using conventional equipment.

Underbridge platforms can be relevant to bridge inspections, infrastructure maintenance, structural surveys and planned repair projects. The appropriate machine depends on the structure, access restrictions, working environment and task requirements. Contact RKP to discuss the site and establish suitable equipment options.

Truck-Mounted Cherry Pickers and Self-Drive Hire

RKP offers truck-mounted and van-mounted cherry picker hire, including self-drive options. These access platforms can support work at height across multiple locations, subject to the machine specification, operating requirements and suitability for the site.

Applications may include signage installation, telecommunications work, filming, television and media production, painting and decorating, high-level cleaning, and forestry or tree-care activities.

Customers can discuss working height, outreach, vehicle access, ground conditions, positioning, delivery and collection requirements with the RKP team before booking.

Powered Access Equipment and MEWP Hire

RKP provides access platform hire and mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) hire for projects requiring temporary access at height. The company can help customers identify a suitable access solution based on the work to be undertaken and the conditions at the site.

Available options and machine suitability should be confirmed directly with RKP. Customers should provide details of the working height, access route, obstacles, ground conditions, intended use and hire duration when requesting a quotation.

Site Surveys, Risk Assessments and Method Statements

Planning is an important part of specialist access work. RKP offers site surveys and can assist with the documentation required to plan access operations.

Services include:

  • Site surveys and access assessments

  • Risk assessments

  • Method statements

  • Safety reports

  • Machine hire and equipment enquiries

  • Technical advice on access requirements



RKP states that it aims to complete site surveys within 24 hours of initial contact. Customers should confirm survey availability and project arrangements when making an enquiry.

Health, Safety and Equipment Compliance

RKP places emphasis on the safety of its customers and operatives. The company states that its machines are checked by CAP-certified engineers, that its operatives are IPAF-approved, and that vehicles and machinery undergo servicing and inspections. Applicable vehicle and machinery records and certificates can be requested.
