What are Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs)?
Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), also known as aerial lifts, scissor lifts, or cherry pickers, are versatile machines designed to provide safe and efficient access to elevated work areas. They are commonly used in various industries, including construction, maintenance, and warehousing, for tasks such as:
- Construction and Maintenance: MEWPs allow workers to reach high areas for installation, repairs, and inspections.
- Warehousing: They facilitate the movement of materials and personnel to elevated storage locations.
- Event Setup: Used for staging, lighting, and decorations at events held in high spaces.
With their ability to manoeuvre in tight spaces and provide stable platforms, MEWPs are essential tools for ensuring safety and efficiency when working at height.
