Hi-Reach equipment sets the stage for Britain's Got Talent in Cardiff

UK-based equipment supplier Hi-Reach saw five of its units take centre stage for the first-ever live outdoor auditions for the recent Britain’s Got Talent TV series, held at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

The rental firm’s Cardiff depot supplied a scissor lift with a working height of 11.75 m, decked out with a union flag, to provide a raised platform for judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, enabling them to watch high diving team La Quebrada plunge into a pool from a height of 25 m.

Hi-Reach also provided the talent show with three other scissor lifts and a boom lift to elevate lighting equipment and the camera crew so that they could also capture the high-rise action.
