During the last couple of decades, aerial platforms and manlifts have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These machinery provide an easy way to lift staff near what must be done on a stable platform apparatus, enabling staff to perform tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
Like every other device, manlifts are just safe when they are utilized correctly. Since they elevate workers above ground level or floor, accidents could take place easily and this can lead to serious injuries or fatalities for both the operators of the manlift as well as whoever passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing beneath.
There are a variety of models of manlifts. Nearly all fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, which has the capability of both horizontal and vertical movement and the scissors lift, which is capable of moving upward and downward.
