What are Powered Access?

Powered access platforms (also known as MEWPs) provide safe, mobile working at height. Types include scissor lifts, boom lifts (cherry pickers), and spider lifts.

Size Guide

  • Scissor lifts — Vertical reach, ideal for indoor/flat ground work
  • Articulating booms — Reach over obstacles, ideal for building facades
  • Telescopic booms — Maximum reach for high-level access
  • Spider lifts — Narrow access, lightweight, suits indoor/heritage work

Typical Uses

  • Building maintenance and cleaning
  • Installation work at height
  • Tree surgery
  • Film and event production
  • Warehouse operations

Hire Considerations

  • IPAF training required for operators
  • Check indoor vs outdoor suitability
  • Consider working height and outreach requirements
  • Ground conditions affect platform selection
