These powered access platforms provide an efficient means of working at height, allowing people to carry out tasks such as delivery, maintenance, or inspection with less disruption.

What is a MEWP?

MEWPs or Mobile Elevated Work Platforms have powered access platforms that are used in a wide variety of industries. They are used in the construction industry for window cleaning and maintenance, in oil refineries and chemical plants for painting and inspection and in many other industries that require work to be carried out at height.

Types of powered access platforms for hire

We provide a wide range of powered access tools to help your business, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, and trailer-mounted booms, in our hire section. The following is a quick overview of each of these MEWP products:

Cherry picker

Cherry pickers are tools with a long, extendible arm (or boom) that contains a cradle at the end on an aerial platform. Telehandlers, telescopic handlers, and boom lifts are just a few of their names. They are versatile tools that can be moved around. Cherry pickers (also known as boom lifts) can provide ‘outreach’ via extendable parts. Unlike scissor lifts, booms may be extended forward, upward, out and over obstacles, so they don’t need to be parked just under the target.

Scissor lifts

Scissor lift powered access platforms are designed for smaller jobs. Scissor lifts are available with a range of platform heights and provide outstanding manoeuvrability. These lifts usually handle everything that would require a ladder, tower, or scaffolding.

PAV Hire

Push Around Verticals are small, hand-push MEWP devices. They are designed for indoor use, smaller jobs, and maintenance work. Good examples of PAV’s are the Peco Lift and Eco Lift range. These are non powered non electric ECO products.

What should be considered when hiring a MEWP?

Selecting the right MEWP for the job

The most important part of the hiring process is making sure that the right MEWP is selected for the job. Things to consider

  • The minimum and maximum heights of the work area.
  • Whether or not the work area is enclosed or open.
  • What materials will be handled.
  • What tools will be used.

Ensure the ground is even

In construction sites, the ground is often far from even and smooth. If the machine is not on firm, even ground there is a risk that the machine could overturn, this could also include low-level platforms.

Preventing accidents

Falls are one of the most typical problems associated with aerial platforms. A fall from the basket while on the job might result in serious injuries, therefore it’s critical that you understand how to avoid or minimize this danger by using the right equipment and having the right training to complete the project.

Risk assessment

Operators must be knowledgeable of possible hazards such as high-tension power lines, soil conditions, obstructions, and stability issues to avoid any danger to themselves or others on site.
