When to Hire a MEWP
If you’re looking to cut your project costs and work more efficiently, hiring a MEWP is a great solution, no matter your industry.
- Construction Sites – MEWPs are perfect for reaching high areas on construction sites. Whether it’s facade work, installing windows, or other high-reaching tasks, MEWPs provide safe and stable access.
- Building Maintenance – For maintenance and repairs on rooftops, facades, and other building features, MEWPs give you a secure platform to work from, reducing the risk that can come with ladders and scaffolding.
- Electrical and Maintenance Works – When you need to reach high electrical lines or buildings for maintenance tasks, MEWPs give you the safety and efficiency you need to finish the job without unnecessary risk.
- Window Cleaning – Cleaning high windows can be challenging and dangerous, but with a MEWP rental you can work quickly with less risk and less cost.
- Event Production – Setting up for events often means accessing high places for lighting, sound equipment, and signage. MEWPs provide easy access, making your event preparation quicker and safer.
- Filming and Photography – For unique camera angles and high vantage points, MEWPs are perfect. They allow photographers and filmmakers to capture shots that would be impossible from the ground.
- Tree Trimming and Maintenance – MEWPs make tree work safer and easier, letting your workers reach high branches from a stable platform while reducing the risk of injury.
Planning Your MEWP Hire
Planning your MEWP hire properly sets you up for a smooth and safe project. Here’s how to get it right:
- First, figure out what you need. Think about the working height, reach, weight capacity, and any specific access requirements for your project. Knowing these details will help you choose the right MEWP.
- Pick the right MEWP for the job. Scissor lifts are great for vertical reach on flat surfaces, and boom lifts offer more flexibility and reach, while spider lifts are perfect for uneven terrain and tight spaces.
- Check if you have a licence to operate the MEWP yourself. If not, let us know and we can sort our operators for you.
- Schedule the delivery and pick-up times to fit your project timeline. When you partner with us, you’ll always have the equipment you need exactly when you need it.
- Make sure our delivery vehicle can get to your site and check that the ground conditions are suitable for the MEWP. If the ground is soft or the space is tight, a spider lift might be the best choice.
