Which platform is right for your project?
Van Mounted Platforms:
- Ideal for: Rapid, mobile tasks in urban areas and confined spaces (e.g., streetlights, signage, tree care)
- Requirements: Working at heights below 16.5m, frequent relocation between sites
- Advantages: Excellent manoeuvrability, minimal traffic impact, often more economical for short-term rentals
- Considerations: Reduced height/weight capabilities compared to trucks
Truck Mounted Platforms:
- Ideal for: Large-scale projects demanding significant height and lifting strength (e.g., construction, bridges, high-rise buildings)
- Requirements: Working at heights exceeding 16.5m, hoisting substantial loads
- Advantages: Superior reach and lifting capacity, engineered for demanding tasks
- Considerations: Larger dimensions, potential permit requirements, increased rental expenses
Making Your Selection:
- Height: What is your required vertical reach?
- Weight: What is the total load you need to lift?
- Access: How easily accessible is the work area?
- Duration: How long will you require the equipment?
- Cost: What is your budget allocation?
