For Thomas Nagy Ltd, a leading provider of specialist infrastructure services across highways, rail, and commercial environments, dependable access solutions are a non-negotiable part of everyday operations. Whether maintaining motorway gantries or upgrading tunnel lighting, the team needs equipment that works every single time, no drama, no delays.
That’s exactly why the company has turned to CPL’s KL38P Cutaway van-mounted platforms as a core part of their fleet.
Why Thomas Nagy Ltd Chose CPL
Reliability was the first major factor, and remains one of the strongest.
“We have run CPL trucks in the past, and they have always been very reliable. We have never had any issues with them.”
Unlike many competitors, CPL offers the cutaway MEWP, a platform configuration uniquely suited to urban, rail, and highway environments where tight access and agility matter.
“The cutaway model is just a perfect product; it allows us to get around the place with ease, and once again has never caused us any issues. It’s unique and unlike anything else.”
This combination of trusted performance and a product no other supplier currently offers helped Thomas Nagy Ltd make its latest investment with confidence.
Delivering on Efficiency, Reliability & Project Performance
Across the board, the KL38P has translated into smoother operations and reduced site downtime.
Motorway Gantries: delivering safe, confident access to overhead signs and structural elements
Tunnel Lighting: enabling fast, precise light replacement and inspection work
As the team explains:
“It’s a reliable vehicle, so when you get to the site, you know you won’t have any issues with it, and you can just focus on your job at hand.”
In sectors where planning windows are tight and safety standards are strict, reliability is not just a convenience; it is mission-critical.
Built for the Real World: The Operator’s View
From the cab to the boom, the KL38P stands out for usability and durability.
Operators appreciate the thoughtful engineering that makes the vehicle comfortable to drive, easy to position on site, and dependable under load, day after day, project after project.
“Once you’re on site, you’re ready to work, no fuss.”
“In five years of using CPL trucks, we have had just two boom-related breakdowns. For how hard the vehicles are used, that is an impressive record.”
For Thomas Nagy Ltd, this level of performance removes operational risk and lets crews focus on task completion, not equipment headaches.
Project Spotlight: Thurrock Roundabout ANPR Enforcement Cameras
At Thurrock Roundabout, Thomas Nagy Ltd deployed its KL38P platform to install and service ANPR enforcement cameras across a complex junction system.
This environment, with fast-moving traffic, narrow working windows, and strict safety requirements, demanded access equipment that was both agile and dependable.
With the KL38P, the team was able to:
Position the platform quickly and safely
Achieve precise access to camera mounts
Complete installations without delays or mechanical concerns
The unique design and compact footprint of the cutaway MEWP made this work possible in spaces where other units might struggle.
Project Spotlight: Traffic Enforcement Camera Upgrade
Upgrading traffic enforcement cameras for Yunex Traffic involved tight urban access and minimal disruption to passenger flows throughout the UK.
Once again, the KL38P proved its value. Thomas Nagy Ltd used the platform to:
Reach elevated Camera fixtures safely
Maintain control of the work zone in a busy urban environment
Deliver the project on time and within budget
This application showcased the best of the cutaway platform, nimble enough for busy public spaces and robust enough for consistent heavy use.
Why Reliability Matters Across Safety-Critical Sectors
For a business working across highways, transport infrastructure, and public environments, reliability isn’t just an advantage; it’s an expectation.
“Knowing you can rely on your vehicle to work well / properly is one less thing to worry about when going out on site.”
The long-term durability of CPL platforms means fewer breakdowns, fewer unscheduled maintenance calls, and greater confidence across every job.
And that confidence is not just operational, it’s strategic.
“We can’t wait to purchase more trucks in the near future and continue this good relationship.”
