Height for Hire and Easi UpLifts face hairy issues!


The Mo Bros of Height for Hire and Easi UpLifts are busy grooming and preening themselves as Movember approaches.

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a worldwide moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

This year the gentlemen at Height for Hire and Easi UpLifts have formed moustache growing teams in Ireland and the UK respectively to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer.

Spokesman for the Height for Hire team, Anthony Burton said that the team’s motivation was "to do a lot of great work for charity, just like Nicey and Smashey”, while Easi UpLifts spokesman Gerard Jennings commented that their team just wanted “to change the face of men’s health.”

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Ireland and the UK. Money raised will help support The Irish Cancer Society’s Action Prostate Cancer Initiative and The Prostate Cancer Charity in UK with their efforts to create awareness, fund research, and provide increased support for those affected by prostate cancer.

If you would like to donate to either the Height for Hire Mo Bros in Ireland or the Easi UpLifts Mo Bros in the UK, you can donate at the following links:

You can follow the agony and the ecstasy of our team’s moustache growing efforts on the Height for Hire Facebook page and the Easi UpLifts Facebook page.

As the Movember philosophy goes, every man deserves to grow a little piece of luxury!

Preventative Maintenance at Height for Hire

Preventative maintenance is the key to longer life for your access machinery. It is also a legal requirement that your powered access equipment or lifting machinery receives a six-monthly inspection.

At Height for Hire Maintenance, we offer a 6-monthly maintenance service for a wide range of machinery from battery and diesel scissor lifts to articulated and stick boom lifts, as well as a range of mobile hoists including trailer-mounted and vehicle-mounted aerial platforms. We also have experienced fitters for specialised access and lifting equipment such as telescopic forklifts, mobile mini cranes, and spider machines.

Height for Hire Maintenance offers a weekly inspection service or an emergency on-site call-out. For larger building sites there is the option of on-site service accommodation, which means we can respond quickly to your hire and maintenance needs. Test certificates provided for all plant and lifting equipment.
