Changes announced in access equipment market

Deltadeck will now be available through Pop Up Products, which specialises in aluminium access equipment and low-level powered access.

The agreement coincides with Turner Access’ wider strategic decision to scale down its manufacture and supply of aluminium tower and low-level access ranges, with the intention to cease manufacture later in the year. This includes the OCTO and BETA Aluminium Towers, BetaGuard, Alphastep, Sigmadeck and Omegadeck. In addition to winding down aluminium manufacturing, Turner Access has closed its Training Centre and Aluminium Tower Rental Division.

The future for Turner Access is growing its Contract Scaffolding operation and Steel System Scaffolding Sales. The factory will continue to manufacture Turner OCTO and ancillary scaffolding products.

Turner Access’ Contract Scaffolding business has seen significant growth over the last 18 months; a trend in which the Company aims to continue. An additional £2million has been invested since the start of the 2019/2020 budget year to support its continued expansion throughout the Central Belt, Fife and Angus areas. This recent investment has been necessary to support some recent major project wins, worth approximately £4million, as well as the development and improvement of existing depots and establishment of a Small Works division.

Turner Access managing director, Knud Højland Pedersen, comments on the changes: “We are delighted to announce that Pop Up Products are taking on the Deltadeck. It is an innovative product that will sit well with their access solution range. This new direction signals an exciting new chapter for Turner Access as we grow Contracts and Turner OCTO sales, and provides us an opportunity to focus on this as the core of our business moving forward.”
