It will carry a wide range of aerial work platforms and will offer IPAF and other training courses.

Riwal has also relocated its London East depot to new premises, the branch was the company’s second location in the UK opening in April 2010. The facilities are substantially larger with enough office space for both the local operations and the National Hire Desk. It also includes a large workshop, a warehouse to store machines in and a training room which will allow the company to offer IPAF and other courses.

Riwal country manager for the UK, Tim White, said: "As part of our on-going commitment to provide high quality aerial work platforms for both rental and sales across the UK, the opening of our Wigan depot provides us with an excellent location to service our customers in the North West. This coming in the same month as the relocation of our Kent depot to a larger facility with increased yard space and workshop providing for a bigger fleet holding and room for IPAF training. As always with Riwal being able to recruit local quality industry professionals who understand the requirements of our customers has been invaluable."
