FAR-REACHING ACCESS PLATFORMS
Designed for easy operation and low maintenance, our optimised platform designs use high quality materials so are lighter than other brands, without compromising on strength or safety.
- Ideal choice for installations and maintenance of telecommunications and fibre optic cables.
- More payload than other options available for tools and equipment.
- No noise from an idling engine, thanks to E-Drive, our self-charging hybrid system, so can operate in Clean Air Zones without difficulty.
YOUR BENEFITS
Excellent working envelope
Reach as far as is safely possible at any basket load due to our moment sensitive outreach – comes as standard.
Fuel and CO2 saving
E-Drive – our unique, self-charging hybrid system, allows the engine to be off whilst operating your platform; you save on fuel and engine service costs.
Smoother, faster, more accurate operation
Enjoy a smoother experience with millimetre accuracy due to our battery powered E-Drive platform, that is 25% faster than comparable platforms.
Greater payload in the vehicle
Our optimised structural designs use high quality materials so our platforms are lighter than other brands, without compromising safety; giving you more payload to carry tools and equipment.
Extra safety
Safety is central to all our platforms. As such, there are insulating harness anchors in the 2-man GRP composite basket.
Minimal maintenance
We use stainless pins and maintenance-free bushes.
