IAS: Success at APF 2024 and exclusive new Socage product

Independent Access Sales (IAS) sell market-leading manufactured platforms, such as Easylift Spider Platforms, SOCAGE Truck Mounting Platforms.

Based in Huntingdon, IAS has gone from a relative newcomer on the market to selling million-marked machines over the last two years. One the main reasons for the company’s success is the focus on solid customer service. Founder Richard Martin has 35 years’ previous sector experience across scaffolding, supervisory roles and surveying and understands the industry inside out.

With a focus on brand awareness, IAS brought its Easylift Spider Platforms and SOCAGE truck-mounted platforms to the APF Show from the 19th-21st September at Ragley Estate, Warwickshire. APF has been running since 1976 and is a respected dedicated biannual event for the whole forestry, woodland, arbicoulture, firewood, fencing, tree and timber sectors. It’s the largest of its kind and attracted 23,000 visitors this year.

“APF 2024 was a huge success for us. We met lots of knowledgeable end-users, with a huge appetite for the latest machinery. As a biannual event, it had an extra buzz, with lots of strategic talk. We had lots of hot enquiries and sold a SOCAGE 24D double-articulated truck platform during the three-day event. This product has been precision-designed with safety in mind, with automatic stabilisation as standard. It can reach a working height of 23.60M and a lateral reach of 12,70M with a maximum load of 300kg: perfect for all tree surgery jobs. The SOCAGE 24D is set up to approach heights without risk of collision and with improved precision, which is ideal for manoeuvres like tree pruning.” added Richard.

The Easylift Spider Platforms are also ideal for tree surgeons: with the range available from 13M up to 53M. The Easylift platforms give the owner operator assurance and flexibility in business: simply put – more control over what to do in different environments. For tree surgeons, this allows operators the advantage of closing the Easylift Spider Platform down to less than 1M working width to take down a narrow footpath in a forest, to setting up on a hill to work at great height.

“We are delighted to report that from early next year, we will be supplying the SOCAGE 75M – which will be the largest SOCAGE access platform in the UK: a market-first. Contact us now for further information!”
