Move to greener fuel

As of 1st April 2022, Onestop Access will only supply engine powered scissor and booms with white diesel or renewable HVO fuel.

This is because the Government announced it would remove the entitlement for most sectors to use red diesel, with the exception of agriculture, horticulture, fish farming, forestry, rail and non-commercial heating system users. This means that any business operating outside of these sectors must use fuel that is taxed at the standard rate for white diesel from 1st April. As we don’t fall into those exempt categories, we won’t be allowed to use red diesel when we supply machines to you, and we won’t allow customers to re-fill and return machines to us with red diesel (if you do, we will have to charge you for our time to drain and clean the tanks).

Despite the move from red to white diesel being forced upon us, it does allow us all the opportunity to more actively consider what we’re doing as a business to help reduce emissions and be kinder to the environment.

As a result, we are also pleased to be offering HVO (Hydrotreated vegetable oil) fuel as an alternative to white diesel. Made from renewable, sustainable raw materials, it’s odourless (and virtually free from sulphur), there’s no compromise in engine quality, it improves engine cleanliness and above all, helps to lower your carbon footprint and improve air quality where the machine is being used.

Onestop Access Celebrates Open Day Success!

What a day! We held our first official Open Day on Thursday 19th September at the prestigious Hamilton Park Racecourse – and we saw over 200 guests through the gates over the course of the day.

*CLICK HERE* to see the photos and video from the event!

The Open Day was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the capability and diversity of the Onestop Access fleet – which now stands at over 500 powered access platforms and telehandlers – and that of the other companies within the Onestop Group; Onestop Roofing Supplies, Onestop Safety Netting and Edge Protection and Onestop Safety Solutions.

There was support on the day from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers, including Genie, JLG, Haulotte, Skyjack, Niftylift, Leggat Plant, Versalift, APS and A.T Best Handlers, many of whom brought along their newest equipment to demo and kindly donated a host of fantastic prizes that were up for grabs.

IPAF and PASMA also offered their support with exhibition stands in the Parade Ring Marquee, alongside Onestop Group, our H&S consultancy partner Project Health & Safety Services, GAP Group and NFRC.

There was plenty to keep guests entertained outdoors with Golf and Shooting Simulators, while those with a head for heights had the chance to experience the scale of our 51m Ruthmann Truckmount and take in the views across Lanarkshire on what turned out to be a gloriously sunny day.

Paul Martin, Director at Onestop Access said “I’m delighted that our first official Open Day was a huge success. Not only were we able to proudly showcase the wide range of machines in our fleet, it was a great opportunity for myself and the team to catch up in person with existing customers and new contacts. I’d like to thank all our customers, guests, suppliers and partners who took time out busy schedules to make the event the great success it was. And of course, a huge well done to our team and those at Hamilton Park Racecourse for ensuring the day went smoothly – we’re already looking forward to next year!”
