What is a MEWP
Reaching new heights with MEWP!
A Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) is a type of aerial work platform that allows workers to safely reach heights for various tasks.
MEWPs come in different types, such as scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers, each suited for different applications and working environments.
When looking to hire a MEWP, it is important to consider factors such as the height and reach required, as well as the terrain and space constraints of the worksite.
MEWPs are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and repair projects where working at height is necessary.
Always ensure that operators are properly trained and certified to operate the specific type of MEWP being used to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
