MEWP Industry Leaders Gather in Belfast for Access Alliance Event

Belfast recently hosted a significant event in the powered access rental industry, as members of the Access Alliance convened for a large-scale gathering. This meeting, organized entirely by LOLEX and supported by Sinoboom took place in the historic Titanic Quarter of the city.

The event's main venue was the Titanic Hotel, a site steeped in history, previously serving as the Drawing Offices of Harland & Wolff, the iconic shipyard responsible for building the Titanic. The choice of location added a layer of historical significance to the proceedings, highlighting the rich maritime heritage of Belfast.

The agenda for the event included presentations and outdoor equipment demonstrations. Attendees had the unique opportunity to witness these demonstrations in the car park of the decommissioned Royal Navy ship, HMS Caroline, located beside Alexandra Dock. This picturesque setting, adjacent to the Thompson Dry Dock where the Titanic was constructed, provided an inspiring backdrop for the event. Luckily, the weather cooperated, staying dry throughout the day.

The equipment demonstrations were a highlight, offering a hands-on experience with Sinoboom's range of products.

The models showcased included the 1932ME, 2732E, 5389RE, AB14EJ, AB18EJ, ML10EJ and a TB26EJP. These demonstrations were well-received, allowing attendees to gain a deeper understanding of the features and benefits of each piece of equipment.

After the demonstrations, participants enjoyed a leisurely stroll to Titanic Distillers, located in the Victorian-era Titanic pumphouse building. Here, they were treated to a glass of Belfast whiskey and a short talk about its origins, further immersing them in the local culture and history. 

The Access Alliance, comprising a collaborative network of powered access rental companies across the UK, aims to provide customers with a comprehensive range of access equipment and solutions. Members benefit from shared resources, industry knowledge, and a unified approach to service excellence. This cooperative effort ensures that customers receive high-quality, reliable equipment and exceptional service, no matter their location within the UK.

Overall, the event was a success, providing an excellent platform for networking, education, and showcasing the latest advancements in powered access equipment. The historic setting of Belfast's Titanic Quarter, combined with the well-executed organization by LOLEX and the support of Sinoboom, made it a memorable experience for all attendees.
