Exhibiting at IMHX 2025 (Stand B142), the company offers a straightforward alternative to the traditional hire model. It supplies new, approved used, and refurbished equipment, available through outright purchase, hire purchase, or contract hire, depending on how each business prefers to manage its budget and operations.
The model is designed for businesses that need machines permanently on site — not just for one-off jobs. This includes warehouse and fulfilment centres, 3PL providers, and operations teams that rely on access platforms for planned or reactive maintenance, stock checks, and inspections.
Instead of paying weekly charges with no long-term benefit, customers can either own the machine outright or choose a contract hire model that covers all servicing and maintenance and LOLER examinations. The result is better cost control and fewer operational surprises.
PlatformSupermarket.com says customers switching from traditional hire are seeing up to 70% savings, particularly where platforms are on-site full time. The business has also focused on making it easier for teams to understand their options. Everything is presented clearly — with side-by-side comparisons of upfront costs, monthly payments, and total cost over time.
Being part of Horizon Platforms, the company also refurbishes its own ex-fleet machines. These are supplied with new batteries, a full respray, and up to a 180-day warranty as standard, giving buyers a lower-cost alternative to new without compromising on reliability. All aftercare is provided by PlatformSupermarket.com’s UK-wide team of field engineers.
Businesses looking to replace older machines can also explore part exchange options. PlatformSupermarket.com welcomes trade-ins and will work with buyers to put together cost-effective upgrade packages. In many cases, switching to newer equipment brings added benefits — from lower maintenance costs and reduced energy bills to significantly longer duty cycles between charges.
One of the ranges being promoted at IMHX is the Dingli AC+ series, described as “Warehouse Spec Scissors.” These machines are built with the demands of high-throughput logistics environments in mind. They offer longer runtimes, higher lift capacities, and come with a three-year manufacturer warranty. For sites looking to upgrade their equipment, it’s a practical option.
PlatformSupermarket.com is clear about its aim at the show: to get decision-makers thinking differently about how they source access platforms. Whether the priority is saving money, reducing downtime, or simplifying procurement, the company believes the current hire-first mindset is overdue a rethink.
Visitors to the stand will be able to explore the full range of options, compare models, and take advantage of IMHX-only deals across both new and refurbished equipment. There will also be specialists on hand to talk through purchase versus hire options and help specify the right setup for each site.
With the access platform market typically split between traditional hire businesses and dealers, PlatformSupermarket.com offers flexibility, clarity, and support beyond the sale.
