• Powered Access Equipment for Warehousing
    & Distribution Centre Construction Projects

  • AFI provides powered access equipment tailored for every stage of your warehousing or distribution centre build. From steelwork and cladding to racking and internal fit-out, we’ve got the right kit for working at height, indoors or outdoors.

  • Supporting the Rise of Warehousing and Distribution Infrastructure

    With growing demand from online retail and third-party logistics, warehousing and distribution centres are being built and fitted out faster than ever. Warehouses and distribution centres may look similar, but their use is very different:

    • Warehouses focus on long-term storage

    • Distribution centres prioritise cross-docking, fulfilment, and outbound logistics

    Each type demands different powered access solutions. That’s where we come in. Although often grouped together, warehouses and distribution centres serve different roles. We understand these differences, which means we can supply the right powered access equipment for each build type.

  • We supply reliable, high-quality machines to help you build the shell, with high-reach booms and rough terrain scissor lifts, install internal infrastructure, including floors, walls, M&E and mezzanines and then fit it out, with electric scissor lifts and booms for sensitive indoor work.

    • Electric scissor lifts and mast lifts for non-marking tyres and quiet operation

    • Diesel booms and rough terrain scissor lifts for external works

    • Hybrid and zero-emission MEWPs to reduce site emissions

  • Powered Access for All Project Stages

    Whether your project is at groundworks or final fit-out, we support:
