Which platform is right for your project?
Van Mounted Platforms:
- Ideal for: Quick, mobile tasks in urban areas and confined spaces, such as streetlight repairs, signage, and street and Christmas lighting installation
- Best suited to: Projects under 16.5m that require frequent site-to-site movement.
- Key benefits: Excellent manoeuvrability, reduces traffic impact, and typically more cost-effective for short-term rentals.
- Considerations: Limited height and load capacity compared to truck-mounted platforms.
Truck Mounted Platforms:
- Best suited for: Large-scale construction, bridge maintenance, and high-rise projects requiring substantial height and lifting capability.
- Ideal for: Tasks above 16.5m that demand heavy-duty performance.
- Key benefits: Outstanding reach and load capacity, built to handle demanding and complex jobs.
- Considerations: Larger size may require permits, and rental costs can be higher.
Making Your Selection:
- Vertical Reach: What height is needed?
- Lifting Capacity: What weight needs to be lifted?
