Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Overview
The 1.5m Podium is a compact, stable low-level access tower built for one-person tasks where a stepladder won’t do. Ideal for internal decorating, ceiling work, electrical and light fitting, and guttering at domestic and small commercial sites. This unit is available for hire now from Breckland Plant Hire and can be delivered within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham or collected free from our depot.
If you need a straightforward, safe platform for short-duration tasks, the 1.5m Podium gets the job done quickly and cleanly.
What this machine does
The podium provides a secure working platform at 1.5m platform height, giving comfortable access to typical room ceilings, windows and gutters without the hassle of erecting a full scaffold. Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre on locking castors, it’s perfect for tradespeople who need stability and speed of setup.

Why hire from Breckland Plant Hire
Hiring a podium is far more practical than buying for occasional work — you avoid storage headaches, maintenance and inspection obligations. You get a professionally maintained, safety-checked unit for the length of the job. As CPA members we keep our fleet serviced to industry standards, and we offer exclusive trade account discounts for regular hirers. If you prefer to collect, we offer free collection, or we can deliver within our local area.
Operator & safety notes
- Always check locking castors and platform condition before use.
- Use on a firm, level surface and never exceed the safe working load.
- Do not stand on guardrails or overload the platform with materials.
- Wear appropriate PPE and ensure tools are secured to prevent dropped objects.
- Follow any site-specific access rules and cordon off the area if working in public spaces.
