Do you supply the access machine?

No. IPAF Operator UK supplies the qualified operator. The client or responsible site team must arrange a machine suitable for the planned work.

Do you cover Greater Manchester as well as Manchester city centre?

Enquiries are welcome for Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area. Send the exact site postcode so availability and travel requirements can be checked.

Which types of operator can I request?

You can enquire about IPAF 3A scissor-lift operators, IPAF 3B mobile-boom operators and suitable spider-lift operator cover. Provide the machine make, model and category so the requirements can be confirmed.

Can I book an operator for one day or a longer project?

Yes. Individual shifts, multi-day work and longer projects can be considered, subject to operator availability and the booking requirements.

Can you arrange an operator at short notice?

Short-notice enquiries can be considered, but availability depends on the location, start time, machine requirements and scope of work. Contact us as early as possible.

Can the operator carry out additional work?

Any duties beyond operating the machine must be included in the enquiry and agreed before quotation. This allows the appropriate service, operator requirements and price to be confirmed.
