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.
A cherry picker machine is a type of aerial work platform that is also known as an articulated boom lift or MEWP, used to lift workers to elevated areas for construction, maintenance, or other tasks.
These machines are equipped with a platform or bucket that can be raised and lowered to reach different heights.
Cherry pickers are often used in industries such as construction, telecommunications, and utilities.
When looking to hire a cherry picker machine, it is important to consider factors such as the height and reach needed for the job, as well as the weight capacity of the machine.
Training to IPAF standards is recommended at category 3b for mobile boom lifts and IPAF category 1b for static boom lifts
Overall, cherry pickers are a safe and efficient way to access hard-to-reach areas on job sites.
A scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform that allows workers to safely reach high places, they are also known as magic carpets.
These lifts are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and other industries for tasks such as painting, installing lights, or repairing roofs.
When hiring a scissor lift, it is important to consider the height and weight capacity needed for the job.
Operators must be properly trained to use a scissor lift to prevent accidents and injuries.
Training to IPAF standards is recommended at category 3a for mobile vertical lifts and IPAF category 1a for static vertical lifts
Overall, renting a scissor lift can help improve productivity and safety on the job site.
