Mobile Elevating Work Platforms — scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers. Safe working at height for construction, maintenance, and industrial access.
Different machines for different access requirements. We train on all three major MEWP categories.
Vertical-only lift platforms for level access at height. Available in electric (indoor) and diesel (outdoor) variants. The most common MEWP in warehousing and maintenance.
Multi-directional reach and height capability. Articulating arms allow operators to reach over and around obstacles — essential for complex access requirements.
Vehicle-mounted platforms — truck-mounted and trailer-mounted variants. Driven to site under their own power, then deployed for access work. Common in utility and highways sectors.
MEWP operation is governed by multiple regulations. Our training covers all applicable requirements.
New operator training or refresher — we match the course to your experience level and machine type.
Full operator training for new MEWP users. Duration varies by machine complexity — scissor lifts typically 1 day, boom lifts 2–3 days. Covers everything from machine familiarisation through to emergency procedures.
For existing MEWP operators due their periodic refresher. Updates knowledge on current regulations, reinforces safe practices, and reassesses competence on the specific platform types used.
