Choosing the Right Access Platform
Consider the working height you need, the ground conditions, and whether you are working indoors or outdoors. Scissor lifts are stable and spacious for indoor work like warehouse maintenance. Boom lifts reach over obstacles and are ideal for construction, tree work and building facades. Trailer-mounted cherry pickers are easy to tow and perfect for occasional domestic use. For very tall buildings or trees, a truck-mounted platform provides the greatest reach with self-contained power.
