Does PlatformSupermarket.com Offer MEWP Financing Options?

With PlatformSupermarket.com, you can opt for a number of financing options to suit your needs. 

Hire Purchase

When you opt for a hire purchase you can pay monthly, gaining full ownership of your access platform once the final payment has been made, letting you spread out the cost of your MEWP over 36-84 months. The other added benefit is there is zero deposit to pay.

With this finance option, you can also build maintenance coverage into your monthly payments as it is not included as standard. PlatformSupermarket.com has a wide range of aftercare packages.

Contract Hire

Our contract hire option is another great way to spread expenditure over several years. Customers hand the platform back at the end of the term. Aftercare is also included as standard as PlatformSupermarket.com/Horizon Platforms still own the machine. With zere deposit and typically taken over 36 months or more, contract hire is one of the most popular ways of buying new and used powered access platforms
