New Initiatives from Hewden and A-Plant Hewden, the national, multi-product hire specialist has launched a new customer training division, designed to help organisations operate as safely and efficiently as possible. Called Hewden Training, it offers a broad range of courses, covering topics including general health and safety, working at height, powered access, crane and plant operation along with the safe use of hand held equipment. Hewden is an accredited IPAF, PASMA, NPORS and CPCS training provider, so customers can be assured that their staff will be trained to the highest of standards and receive an internationally recognised qualification.
In addition to industry specific courses, the company is offering a number of professional development courses that can benefit those from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Courses are
available at Hewden’s regional locations, or
they can be custom delivered to sites anywhere in the UK.
Following an extensive six month development project, equipment rental company A- Plant has launched a revolutionary new 26T vehicle which offers drivers maximum protection when loading and unloading plant equipment. Equipped with a hydraulic walkway which is operated at the touch of a button, the new vehicle - which is unique to A-Plant - is designed to prevent falls from height whilst also offering an abundance of other safety features. A-Plant’s Director of Transport Services Shaun Winstanley said: “There are inherent dangers faced by drivers working at height on commercial vehicles during loading and unloading operations. This new vehicle is revolutionary to our industry as it incorporates a hydraulically operated walkway down one side of the vehicle, allowing drivers to safely enter and exit the items of plant when loading and unloading. This is a major safety benefit particularly when drivers are transporting items that are the same width as the vehicle body. Several of our major customers have already requested a demonstration of the new vehicle and it is currently on trial in our business.”
