At Aerial Platforms, every investment we make is part of a bigger picture: delivering reliable powered access solutions backed by strong logistics and service across the UK. That’s why we’re proud to welcome seven brand-new Scania XT 560R trucks into our fleet.
These vehicles are an essential step in our ongoing journey of growth across the UK, supporting our expanding network of powered access machines and depots.
Transport is the backbone of our service, and when customers hire a boom lift, scissor lift or telehandler, they depend on us to deliver it quickly, safely and on time—that’s where the new Scania XT 560R trucks prove their value. Each truck is equipped with a powerful 560 hp DC13 173 engine to handle even the heaviest deliveries, paired with a G33 gearbox that ensures smoother shifting and improved drivability over long distances. With a train weight capacity of up to 64 tonnes, these trucks are perfectly suited to carrying large or multiple machines in a single trip. The advanced Scania Super powertrain with Twin-SCR technology delivers up to 8% fuel savings while cutting emissions, aligning strength with sustainability. Meanwhile, the comfortable and stable cab keeps drivers safe, focused and alert on every journey. This balance of power, efficiency and reliability makes the XT 560R a perfect addition to our fleet.
These new trucks are part of a much bigger strategy at Aerial Platforms. We’re not simply adding machines to our fleet — we’re expanding across the UK with new depots and a larger powered access fleet to serve more customers in more locations. The addition of these trucks enables us to increase delivery capacity, moving more machines in fewer trips, while also supporting our new depots and keeping our growing network connected. They allow us to respond faster to both urgent and planned customer needs, and with their endurance-focused design, they ensure we remain reliable and ready to deliver.
These seven new Scania trucks represent more than horsepower and steel. They represent far more than just horsepower and steel; they stand as symbols of growth, reflecting our commitment to expanding UK wide. They embody our dedication to reliability, ensuring customers receive dependable service at every step. At the same time, they mark a step toward sustainability, incorporating fuel-efficient, lower-emission technology that supports a cleaner future. Most importantly, they form solid foundations for the future, strengthening our expanding depots and powered access fleet.
As we continue to grow across the UK, these trucks will play a vital role in delivering the machines our customers need, when and where they need them.
For those customers and suppliers eager to know the postcodes of the new depots, they will be revealed very soon.
