Service & Maintenance MEWPS

MEWPS (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms)

When should you use a certain machine?

Scissor Lifts

These MEWP's are excellent when large areas of work are to be covered. They can be driven while elevated and usually have a large capacity allowing you to take tools and light materials up to the workplace with you. Restrictions are that these machines have a limited outreach and generally require surfaces that are flat, hard and level.

Personnel Lifts

These MEWP's are perfect when there is restricted access to the workplace. These machines fit through most doors and are much lighter than scissor lifts. They can reach great height, but can only take one person and some tools. There is no outreach and the machine cannot be driven while elevated.

Self Propelled Booms (cherrypicker)

Like the scissor lift, this MEWP can be driven while elevated. Above that, it has an outreach so that you can reach over obstacles. The capacity is less than that of a scissor lift, and it also needs a flat and level surface to operate.

All Terrain Booms

This MEWP is specially designed when access to the work is via rough terrain. Excellent for sites off the beaten track or very rough building sites. Once the machine is in place it needs a reasonable level and hard surface to deploy the outriggers. The machine cannot be driven while elevated.

Trailer Mounted Booms

Trailer mounted booms (cherrypickers) are very popular by people who have to do small jobs in various places. It can be towed by a normal car and can therefore be picked up from our depots by yourself, eliminating delivery charges. These MEWP's are not self propelled, i.e. they cannot be driven while elevated. But like the self propelled and all terrain booms, they have an outreach so that you can work over obstacles.
