When your business revolves around installing and repairing industrial roller doors, working safely at height is not optional. It is part of the job, every single day.

For North East Industrial Doors Services, reliability, strength and service support are critical. Owner Fraser Haggart and his team operate across the region, installing, servicing and repairing industrial roller doors in demanding environments, both indoors and outdoors, all of which involves a lot of time spent working at height.

That daily requirement for safe access is what led him to invest in JCB electric scissor lifts from Scot JCB.

From Hire Trial to Long-Term Investment

Fraser’s journey with JCB Access started practically, he initially hired a machine from a local hire company.

Not only did Fraser continue buying JCB platforms himself, but his experience influenced others too. Other hire companies he works with have since added JCB machines to their fleets, and several of his contacts have gone on to buy direct from Scot JCB.

Stronger Build, Better Finish

In Fraser’s line of work, equipment gets used hard. It needs to stand up to constant transport, tight spaces and demanding environments.

When asked what stood out about JCB compared to competitors, he was clear, “Firstly, the sturdy strong designs. Second, I’ve got no paintwork issues on them, the competition all rust within a year.”

The JCB electric scissor range is built with durability in mind, including corrosion-resistant finishes and heavy-duty scissor pack designs that deliver strength and stability at height . For a business operating year-round in Scottish conditions, that durability matters.

Being fully electric is another major advantage, particularly for internal installations. Zero emissions, reduced noise and smooth proportional controls make them ideal for indoor environments as well as external sites.

Fantastic Support from Scot JCB

Fraser is realistic about machinery, “Everything you use a lot will breakdown sometimes.” His farming background gives him perspective, “If you’ve got a machine in the shed and you don’t use it, it won’t break down.” For him, breakdowns are not the issue. It is how they are handled. “After-sales support is fantastic. The staff at Scot JCB Aberdeen, there’s not one bad thing we can say. They’re very helpful. They can’t do enough for you. They will do whatever they can to make the machine available as soon as they can.”

Our responsiveness and local dealer support is what keeps businesses moving. When your team is booked on-site, downtime is not an option.

A Long-Term Relationship Built on Trust

Fraser’s relationship with Scot JCB spans several years of investment. When asked if he would recommend JCB Access platforms and Scot JCB, his answer was simple, “If they were not good I would tell you, but I’ve been impressed by Scot JCB and the product which is why I have recommended them to so many people.”
