Modern Access Solutions

At Modern Access Solutions, we provide advanced working-at-height systems designed to improve safety, productivity, and efficiency across the UK.

By integrating mechanised platforms with structural engineering, modern access solutions ensures reliable equipment, expert support, and compliant project delivery for high-rise developments to optimise site logistics and safeguard personnel.

What Services Are Included in Modern Access Solutions?

A comprehensive vertical access lifecycle is delivered by modern access solutions that manage every technical aspect from architectural design to the final removal of machinery:

• Technical Site Surveys – Performing precise laser measurements and substrate testing to ensure stable structural anchoring for elevated platforms.
• Logistical Transport – Managing the delivery of modular mast sections and drive units using specialised heavy-goods vehicles.
• Certified Installation – Executing the mechanical assembly and anchoring of powered access units by qualified engineers to meet safety specifications.
• Statutory Weekly Inspections – Conducting regular mechanical examinations and safety audits to ensure ongoing compliance with health and safety regulations.
• Engineering Technical Support – Providing reactive maintenance and 24/7 assistance to resolve operational issues and prevent project downtime.

Why Should You Choose Professional Modern Access Solutions?

Choosing the expert team at modern access solutions ensures that your high-elevation project is supported by industry-leading engineering and state-of-the-art vertical transport machinery.

Our technicians possess specialised technical knowledge to design robust anchoring systems for difficult building substrates. Selecting modern access solutions ensures that all operator training is verified, resulting in improved safety on every high-rise construction site.

Where Can Modern Access Solutions Be Used Across Construction and Maintenance Projects?

The versatile vertical systems provided by modern access solutions are engineered to support a wide array of high-elevation tasks on residential, commercial, and industrial structures. These platforms are particularly effective for external cladding remediation and window replacement projects where ground-level space is restricted for traditional scaffolding.

Because the systems offer high tonnage capacities, modern access solutions are also utilised for industrial facility maintenance, bridge repairs, and high-level chimney refurbishment projects.

How Much Do Modern Access Solutions Cost?

The cost of vertical access machinery from modern access solutions ranges from £500 to over £2,500 per week, depending on the machine’s reach and load capacity.

Technical drivers for these costs include the vertical mast height, the number of drive units required for wide façades, and the logistical transport fees for heavy-goods vehicles. Additionally, professional installation by certified rigging engineers and the requirement for statutory safety inspections contribute to the final project expenditure.

How Does the Modern Access Solutions Process Work?

The engineering workflow followed by Modern Access Solutions begins with a detailed forensic site assessment to determine the building's loading and tie-in potential.

Technicians then coordinate the delivery and mechanical rigging of the vertical masts, ensuring each section is securely fixed to the building substrate. The final stage involves rigorous load testing and the issuance of a safety certificate to ensure the property is fully secure for operation.

What Types of Access Systems Are Available Through Modern Access Solutions?

Multiple specialised machinery configurations are provided by modern access solutions to suit unique building geometries and weight requirements:

• Single Mast Platforms – Compact vertical units ideal for narrow building elevations or projects with limited ground access.
• Twin Mast Systems – Extended platforms that offer a larger working area and higher load-bearing capacity for major structural works.
• Transport Platforms – Specialised mechanised lifts designed specifically for moving heavy equipment and bulk materials between floors.
• Bespoke Geometry Solutions – Tailored platform sections that allow for continuous access around 90-degree corners and curved building shapes.
• Mobile Elevated Work Platforms – Highly manoeuvrable hydraulic lifts suited for short-term maintenance and rapid inspection tasks at height.

When Should You Choose Modern Access Solutions?

You should select modern access solutions during the early planning phase of projects involving repetitive vertical work across expansive building façades. This mechanised approach is the preferred choice for brickwork and rendering where traditional scaffolds would create excessive clutter.

Opting for powered platforms ensures maximum site efficiency by allowing trades to work at the optimal ergonomic level, which significantly reduces physical fatigue.

What Safety Standards and Regulations Apply to Modern Access Solutions?

Every project managed by modern access solutions adheres strictly to the Working at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998 safety standards. We ensure all mechanical components meet PUWER 98 requirements and that every platform undergoes a thorough weekly examination by a competent person.

Adhering to these rigorous codes protects the health of the workforce and provides property owners with legally defensible documentation.

Which Industries and Projects Benefit From Modern Access Solutions?

A broad spectrum of professional sectors rely on modern access solutions to maintain high productivity while ensuring the safety of their workforce:

• Façade Contractors – Specialists requiring stable platforms for the precise installation of cladding, glazing, and curtain walling systems.
• General Construction Firms – Developers looking to move high volumes of building materials to specific floor levels efficiently.
• Refurbishment Specialists – Companies managing the repair, cleaning, and maintenance of high-rise residential building envelopes.
• Industrial Engineering Providers – Teams accessing tall structures such as silos, cooling towers, or chimneys for critical repairs.
• Infrastructure Contractors – Performing structural strengthening and painting on large-scale civil engineering projects like bridges and viaducts.

How Quickly Can Modern Access Solutions Be Installed and Operational?

An installation for modern access solutions typically reaches the operational phase within 3 to 5 working days from site approval and delivery. For urgent structural repairs or emergency access needs, our logistical team can often achieve mobilisation and assembly within forty-eight hours.

The speed of the process is supported by off-site pre-assembly, which reduces on-site construction time and ensures project milestones are reached.
