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.

Safety is no accident
Safety is central to the functioning of all our platforms. We take every design past its tipping point, to find exactly where its limits lie.
- Moment sensitive outreach then stops you where you can pull your hardest, and still have a healthy margin of safety.
- Emergency power and fail-safe manual operation are fitted as standard.
- Twinned sensors, high performance controllers and fail-safe control logic on our VZ and CZ platforms will keep you out of harm’s way.
