Powered access platforms are constantly advancing with new MEWP technologies that help increase the sustainability of your work-at-height.

In the Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) field, it’s no secret that opting for electric-powered access platforms is a significant step towards sustainability. These machines produce zero emissions when in use, reducing air pollution and minimising environmental impact. Also, with technological advancements, electric lifters offer comparative or greater operational and functional efficiencies when compared with their fuel powered counterparts. 

At Horizon Platforms, we know that when you hire one of our Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), you’ll be considering not only the best machine for the job but also your goals as a business. So, if you’re a company that prizes sustainability in everything you do, you’ll want a powered access solution that helps to keep your carbon footprint low – and we’re more than happy to help you with that. 

In an era where sustainability is at the forefront of agendas, it’s crucial to consider eco-friendly alternatives in every aspect of our lives, including powered access equipment, such as cherry pickers. 

MEWPs play a vital role in various industries and projects, from facilities management and construction to maintenance and beyond. Therefore all industries need to consider access-platform-sustainability where noise levels, energy usage and emissions, for example, are part of powered access hire decision-making.
