New location for AFI Wakefield

UK based powered access rental company AFI-Uplift has relocated its Wakefield depot to larger premises. The new location in Pope Street at the heart of Wakefield Europort in Normanton – is twice the size of the company’s previous depot on the town’s Flanshaw Way Industrial Estate.

The new, purpose-built premises have over 1,200 square metres (13,000 sq ft) of workshop space, plus 1,500 square metres (16,000sq ft) of office space, including two fully equipped training areas. Operating with 14 staff, the depot has a fleet of over 360 boom and scissor lifts.

AFI director Nick Higgins said: “Following the expansion of our rental fleet at Wakefield we outgrew our former premises. Our move to the new depot gives us the capacity to cater for both recent and future increases in customer demand. This kind of investment in the infrastructure of our business can only improve the level of service that we offer our customers.”

“Wakefield has always been one of our high performing depots and, despite the challenging trading climate, there is no reason why that should not continue to be the case”.
