Award Winning Powered Access

What is a MEWP?

Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) have powered access platforms that are used in a wide variety of industries. They are used in the construction industry for window cleaning and maintenance, in oil refineries and chemical plants for painting and inspection, and in facilities management for tasks such as cleaning, ventilation, and air conditioning maintenance, and in many other industries that require work to be carried out at height.

Types of powered access platforms for hire

We provide a wide range of powered access tools to help your business as part of our comprehensive equipment hire services, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, and trailer-mounted booms, in our hire section. The following is a quick overview of each of these MEWP products:

Our extensive fleet includes the latest models and cutting-edge technologies, ensuring a variety of equipment is always available for hire.

Cherry picker

Mobile elevated work platforms, such as cherry pickers, are tools with a long, extendible arm (or boom) that contains a cradle at the end on an aerial platform. Telehandlers, telescopic handlers, and boom lifts are just a few of their names and are available for boom lift hire. They are versatile tools that can be moved around. Cherry pickers (also known as boom lifts) can provide ‘outreach’ via extendable parts. Unlike scissor lifts, booms may be extended forward, upward, out and over obstacles, so they don’t need to be parked just under the target.

Scissor lifts

Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), such as scissor lift powered access platforms, are designed for smaller jobs and are part of our range of low level access platforms. Scissor lifts are available with a range of platform heights and provide outstanding manoeuvrability. These lifts usually handle everything that would require a ladder, tower, or scaffolding.

PAV Hire

Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) like Push Around Verticals are small, hand-push devices. They are designed for indoor use, smaller jobs, and maintenance work. Good examples of PAV’s are the Peco Lift and Eco Lift range. These are non-powered, non-electric ECO products.
