Taking the Stress Out of City Centre Working at Height

Working at height in busy city centres is never straightforward. From navigating congested streets and managing pedestrian safety to securing the right permits and traffic management, every detail matters. That’s why JMS Powered Access is trusted by contractors and facilities teams across the UK to deliver not just the right equipment, but a fully managed, hassle-free service that keeps projects running smoothly and safely.
Recently, our MZ250 truck mount platform was out on hire for a city centre job, demonstrating exactly how JMS takes care of the details so you can focus on the task at hand.
Complete Traffic Management and Permitting
City centre projects often require more than just powered access equipment. Road closures, lane restrictions, temporary signage, and pedestrian barriers are often essential to keep both workers and the public safe. JMS Managed Services provides a one-stop solution for:
- Traffic management planning and implementation
- Arranging permits and liaising with local authorities
- Supplying and installing safety barriers, fencing, and signage
- Managing lane closures and diversions
- This means our clients can get on with their work, confident that all compliance, safety, and logistical challenges are being handled by experts.

Operator Hire: No Need for IPAF Qualifications
Not everyone has the time or resources to train staff for every type of access platform. That’s why JMS offers an operated hire service: our fully qualified, experienced operators handle the machinery, so you don’t need to worry about IPAF training or certification. You simply focus on your work at height, while we take care of the rest.
