Which platform is right for your project?
Van Mounted Platforms:
- Suitable for: Quick, mobile tasks in urban settings and tight spaces, including street lighting, signage installation, and tree trimming.
- Best for: Projects requiring work at heights below 16.5m and frequent site changes.
- Benefits: High manoeuvrability, reduced traffic impact, and often more economical for short-term hires.
- Drawbacks: Limited height and lifting capacity compared to truck-mounted options.
Truck Mounted Platforms:
- Best for: Extensive construction, bridge maintenance, and high-rise projects demanding significant height and heavy lifting.
- Suitable for: Tasks exceeding 16.5m involving the lifting of substantial loads.
- Benefits: Superior reach and lifting capabilities, designed for challenging applications.
- Drawbacks: Larger operational footprint, potential need for permits, and higher rental expenses.
Key Considerations for Your Choice:
- Vertical Height Needs: What is the necessary working height?
- Lifting Capacity Requirements: What is the required load lifting capacity?
- Jobsite Access: How easily can the work area be reached?
- Hire Duration: How long will the platform be needed for?
- Financial Constraints: What is your allocated budget?
