What is an Elevated Work Platform?

Elevated work platforms are vehicle-mounted that provide a platform that can be moved into various situation for a worker to access high locations. Elevated Work Platforms are often used by energy technicians to access powerlines, by painters to access second storeys and in manufacturing to repair and maintain large equipment. Our clients also use EWPs in warehousing, signage installation, lighting, window cleaning and any other situation where safe, elevated access is required to get the job done.

EWP’s come with a safe working box or platform that provides a rigid platform for the person carrying out the work on the EWP.

What types of EWP’s are there?

Scissor Lift is an EWP that lifts straight up and down. They are simple to operate, however not nearly as versatile as the other types of EWP’s.

Boom Lift is another type of EWP. Boom lifts are either towable or truck mounted, towing them they can be attached as with any other towed vehicle to a truck or ute. These are the most popular of the EWP range.  They are incredibly safe options as the platform is entirely surrounded by guard rails, meaning the worker can use both hands for the task requiring the EWP.

At Lindores, we specialise in providing equipment to industry; therefore, our fleet comprises of Boom Lifts, Underbridge unit EWP’s to give maximum flexibility and durability for our clients.


Benefits of an EWP

Indoor and outdoor usage
EWP’s can be used both for indoor and outdoor projects. They can be especially useful for large indoor spaces such as inside museums, shopping centres and churches for cleaning and installation of decorations and artwork.

Safety

Quick
EWPs drive up to a site, and once set up they are ready to go. There is minimal setup and pack down required. They are a far quicker alternative to scaffolding and even to harnesses and rigging for most jobs.

Versatile
An EWP is an extremely versatile option. It can be used in a variety of different ways within the one project; in fact, it is quite common that an EWP is hired for one aspect of a project and then is used for several different tasks within the same hire. Cobwebs anyone?
