JMS Access, a division of JMS Plant Hire, reached the milestone with a Genie ZX-135/70 boom lift that it bought from Access Platform Sales (APS).

Mark Jackson, founder and director of JMS Plant Hire, said that he expects the fleet to grow to 1,200 machines this year.

JMS Plant Hire has grown rapidly since it started life in 2000 in Hertfordshire in 2000. It has since added depots in Leeds and at Pinewood Studios.

The newly-arrived Genie ZX-135/70 is a diesel articulating rough terrain boom lift, offering a maximum working height of 141ft (43m) and horizontal reach of almost 70ft (21m). The telescopic jib extends from 12 to 20ft (3.7m to 6.1m) and provides a 110˚ vertical range of motion.
