Specialist ATV Hire Supporting Wood Pole Reinforcement Projects

As part of the UK Power Networks Project, one of our tracked ATVs has been out on site this week, supporting a valued customer with wood pole strengthening works. These works play an essential role in increasing the service life of overhead line poles, helping to maintain a safe and reliable electricity supply to communities across the UK.

This particular ATV unit was specially fitted with low ground pressure tracks and fully kitted out with a built-in compressor, making it tailored for the job.

Thanks to Gareth, our Strategic Account Manager in Wellingborough, for capturing these brilliant site photos.
