Ascendant Access - a vision of excellence

Ascendant Access grew out of Managing Director, Steve Dean’s, strong belief that British design and manufacturing can be as competitive as anyone else’s.

Already an industry veteran of almost 20 years he collaborated with the formation of the company in 2003 launching the Ascendant A22-17 platform which has already surpassed his expectations in its popularity with customers.The company’s philosophy is embraced in the well worn phrase “keep it simple”.

Already a significant manufacturer of vehicle mounted access platforms in the UK the company has put in place all of the necessary ingredients for a successful life in the export market.

Performance and durability

All of the company’s products are based on simplicity of design, operation and maintenance.

This has born fruit in its customer’s reporting exceptionally low “product life costs” and high resale value.

A range built for purpose

Ascendant now boasts a strong range of products with its Ascendant 17-12 platform launched in 2006, its 12.5VM introduced in 2008 and the recent introduction of its Ascendant 21-16TJ and 20Z platforms

“Extraordinarily useful in tasks - great versatility - we get more out of the vehicles.” Paul Hockey - Sky Platforms
