Telescopic work platforms, or vertical lifts, are compact, lightweight aerial platforms designed for straight vertical access. Ideal for indoor applications where space is tight, telescopic work platforms are easy to manoeuvre and set up, with an extendable mast that provides stability and precision for tasks at moderate heights.
Self-propelled telescopic work platforms are equipped with motors that allow you to drive from the operator platform, while push around vertical lifts are typically lighter and manually moved into position.
Common uses for self-propelled and push around vertical lifts include changing light fixtures, painting or decorating ceilings, carrying out electrical work and cleaning skylights or other windows with height restrictions.
Owing to their lightweight construction, these portable man lifts are usually intended to carry only a single person and their tools. Many models are equipped with stabilising features to ensure a safe working environment up to the machine’s maximum operating height.
A telescopic work platform elevates workers vertically above ground level. These lightweight units come in various platform heights and are either powered (self-propelled) or manually moved into position (push around vertical lifts). Easy to manoeuvre and set up, they provide excellent overhead reach in tight spaces.
Articulated work platforms generally offer more reach than telescopic work platforms. While vertical lifts move straight up and down, articulated work platforms feature multiple jointed arms that allow for both horizontal and vertical outreach, making them more versatile for reaching around obstacles or accessing difficult areas.
Electric self-propelled vertical lifts are popular due to their smooth, quiet operation and low emissions, making them ideal for indoor use where noise needs to be kept to a minimum. Diesel or petrol-powered models are also available, which are often used for outdoor or rough terrain applications.
