Panther Platform Rentals Go Up And Over At Wroughton Airfield - Panther Platform Rentals, one of the fastest growing companies in the access industry, have just helped complete important maintenance work at Wroughton Airfield near Swindon, Wiltshire. Following a thorough site inspection, the Niftylift manufactured Height Rider 21 boom, was supplied for the job. The machine is one of over 20 brand new HR21 booms that have become part of Panther’s ongoing investment since their successful acquisition by Lavendon Group PLC. Given the uneven ground and fencing surrounding the air hanger, now a science museum, the HR21 was the obvious machine to carry out the work; it is a 4 wheel drive rough terrain (45% gradeability) platform with exceptional outreach. As well as the required “up and over “ access to awkward parts of the structure as seen in the image below, the versatile HR21 can also be used to work below ground level, and with a 225kg platform capacity, offers plenty of room for operatives, equipment and tools.
