Working at height can be dangerous if you don’t use the proper equipment. With a powered access platform, you can reduce risk and increase your safety when using MEWPs, such as a scissor lift or cherry picker. However, it’s vital to ensure that your powered access platforms remain efficient, functional, safe and clean.
When working within the supermarket environment it is crucial to choose the correct machine to help complete your projects safely. Many MEWPs are specifically designed to operate within restricted, narrow spaces, and there are plenty of great powered access platforms to choose from to help you work at height in a supermarket setting!
