Managing director James Ashbrook said: “We have been expanding our fleet quickly and we’ve bought nearly the full range of Skyjack units as they’re good, reliable products. We have a good relationship with Skyjack - they are our brand of choice, as like us, they have a customer first and can-do attitude.”
“We’ve come a long way since first investing in access equipment. It is clear from the success of our access division that there is high demand for a professional, reliable hire service that combines new equipment, access to the latest machinery and innovation, without the cost of ownership.”

Established in the 1990s, J K Ashbrook is based in north west England. As well as offering a full range of aerial lifts, it also runs a fleet of excavators, telehandlers and more. Earlier this year the company added the former Hewden depots at Bangor and Warrington to the group, taking the company into the mainstream powered access market, and is now in the process of updating the fleet - see Two more Hewden depots sold - and has also opened a new depot in Amlwch, north Wales this year.
