Machines of the Construction Equipment Industry

Aerial-Work Platform
Maximum Platform Height: 126 ft.
Maximum Lift Capacity: 2,000 lb.

Designed to replace scaffolding and ladders, aerial-work platforms lift workers, their tools and building materials directly to the job. Smaller ones can fit through doorways to handle inside work; larger ones can reach 12 stories into the air. Whether they use a scissor-type mechanism, articulating arm or telescoping mast, aerial-work platforms increase efficiency at a jobsite.
