If you’ve got a job that needs serious height and outreach, the Genie SX-125XC is definitely one to consider.

With a 40m working height, strong outreach and a 300kg platform capacity, it’s a great option for steelwork, construction, industrial maintenance and larger projects where you need to get people and tools right into position.

And if the job is running for a while, talk to us about our long-term hire options too.

Plus, with AFI you’re not just hiring the machine you’ve got our service team behind you, delivery support and our Service Level Pledge helping keep things moving on site.

Three brand-new Niftylift HR12s have arrived at AFI Rentals as part of our ongoing programme of investment in the latest access equipment for our customers.

But our investment doesn’t stop with the machines.

Our apprentices were straight into the workshop, getting hands-on with the new equipment and developing their knowledge alongside our experienced teams.

By continually investing in both our fleet and the next generation of skilled engineers, we’re helping ensure AFI is ready to support our customers today and well into the future.

Before you go up, check what powers you up.

Electric MEWPs are increasingly used across construction, warehouses, facilities management, industrial maintenance and infrastructure projects, but a quick battery inspection before operation can help prevent downtime, electrical faults and potential safety risks.
