Access Platforms
Access Platforms raise workers and their tools safely to working height in place of ladders and scaffolds for maintenance and installation work. The category includes scissor lifts. They differ from hoists in being designed to lift people rather than loads, and selection follows working height, platform capacity and the operating environment.

About this category
Access platforms (MEWPs) are a separate category from load-lifting equipment because they are designed and approved to lift people. Scissor lifts raise the platform vertically through a crossed-arm mechanism and come as battery-electric models for indoor use and combustion-engine models for rough outdoor sites, with working height, platform capacity and dimensions varying by model. Typical features include guardrails around the platform, an emergency lowering system, tilt or overload sensors, and controls at both the platform and the base. Selection factors: required working height, platform capacity and number of people, indoor or outdoor use, ground conditions, and power source. Operators must be trained, the machine inspected before each use and periodically by an approved inspector, and fall protection used as required by the platform type, the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations. Specifications follow EN 280, ANSI A92 and ISO 16368.
