“We have worked with Chris and the team at Stanley for several years now and the service has been excellent, the team are always very responsive and have been a great partner.During a complex rollout, the team at Stanley worked with us on a good base plan but factored in flexibility so that we could pivot if required, when any changes needed to happen the team approached the change with speed and this allowed us to re-plan quickly to continue the rollout.So far, it’s been very, very good, the communication up front needed for planning servicing is always excellent and the team also offer detailed post visit survey information, again we have found the team to be swift to act on any issues and always willing to go the extra mile.Working together we have set up a simple but effective breakdown swap out process for our colleagues and this enables us to swap out quickly, with an agreed SLA and keep the fleet at the required number to add maximum valueI have no hesitation recommending Stanley as a partner to work with.”

My experience with the Stanley mechanical stair climbers has been great. They are powerful and fast, and the batteries last all day.Overall, I’m very happy with this product which is why we have stocked all of our vans with them ready for the engineers to use at a moment's notice.

We were looking for some time for a solution that allowed us to get large format printers upstairs at customer’s premises – these other weigh in excess of 130kg and 1500mm wide. I eventually found Stanley Handling and was very impressed with the support.Vicki was great in offering a demo and the demonstrator took the machine up the stairs with ease which immediately sold the solution for us. We now can take less people to an install where there are stairs, reducing costs and time out of the office. This solution will have paid for itself within 10 installs. I can’t rate Stanley and Vicki highly enough.
