FAQ Section: Understanding Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs)

An elevating work platform (EWP), also known as an aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevating work platform (MEWP), is a mechanical device used to provide temporary access to hard-to-reach areas, usually at height. EWPs are widely used in construction, maintenance and other industries that require flexible access solutions.

There are several types of elevating work platforms, including scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, spider lifts (also known as crawler lifts), towable trailer-mounted boom lifts, pusharound verticals, and low-level access platforms. Each type is designed for specific tasks, offering various reach and manoeuvrability options.

Elevating work platforms are commonly used in industries such as construction, warehousing and logistics, telecommunications, utilities, facilities management, film and entertainment, firefighting and emergency services, painting and decorating, tree surgery and landscaping, and signage and advertising.

Elevating work platforms are designed to lift limited weights, usually less than a tonne, and are intended for temporary access rather than permanent installation, distinguishing them from cranes and lifts (elevators). EWPs are often used for tasks like maintenance, construction, and emergency access.

In addition to providing access, elevating work platforms may include features such as electrical outlets, compressed air connectors, and specialised equipment like carrying frames for window glass. Some platforms also have underbridge units that allow operators to access work areas below structures.

At UK MEWPS, we provide a growing range of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to ensure the safety of workers operating or assisting with Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). Our safety consumables include:

  • MEWP safety harnesses: Essential for fall protection, ensuring the operator’s safety when working at height. Harnesses are a key component of fall arrest systems, recognised for meeting various safety standards globally, including EN 361 and EN 358​ (SDC Verifier)​ (Conger Industries).
  • MEWP safety helmets: Designed to protect the head from falling objects and impacts. Our helmets meet the EN 12492 standard, a European regulation that specifies safety requirements and testing methods for helmets used in mountaineering, climbing, and work at heights. This ensures protection from head injuries caused by falling objects or impacts with hard surfaces. You can learn more about EN 12492 on Wikipedia ​(UK MEWPS Ltd)​ (SDC Verifier).
  • Hi vis clothing: Enhances visibility, reducing the risk of accidents on busy work sites. Hi vis is critical for worker safety, especially in low-light conditions, as referenced in ISO 20471 ​(Occupational Health and Safety Blog).
  • Safety gloves: Provide grip and protection when handling tools and equipment at height. For expert glove selection guidance based on specific work industries, see our comprehensive guide here: Choosing Safety Gloves: Expert Glove Selection Guide for Work Industries. This guide covers key considerations and standards like EN 388 for mechanical protection ​(Conger Industries)​ (UK MEWPS Ltd).

Each item meets industry safety standards, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. Our range of safety consumables can be purchased alongside any MEWP rental or hire to ensure full safety coverage for your team.

Data Sources: Backed by trusted industry sources, the above information ensures accuracy and relevance. Visit the source links for further details.

Regular LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections ensure that Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are safe to use by checking their structural integrity and functionality. These inspections help prevent accidents caused by faulty or unsafe equipment. Additionally, IPAF training certifies operators to safely operate MEWPs, ensuring they understand safety protocols, perform risk assessments and follow proper equipment operation standards.

Both LOLER inspections and IPAF training are crucial for maintaining safety and compliance in industries that utilise MEWPs​ (SDC Verifier) ​(Occupational Health and Safety Blog) ​(Conger Industries).

Data Sources: Backed by trusted industry sources, the above information ensures accuracy and relevance. Visit the source links for further details.

MEWPs, such as scissor lifts and boom lifts, allow workers to quickly and safely reach elevated areas, reducing the need for time-consuming scaffolding setups. In industries such as construction, petrochemical facilities and energy plants (power generation), where low-level access is crucial, PAVs (Push Around Vertical platforms) have replaced many traditional access methods like scaffolding and ladders.

For a detailed guide on selecting the right PAV for your project, see Buy Used PAVs: Push Around Verticals, Quality Low-Level Access Platforms for Sale in the UK.

MEWPs are not only faster and safer to operate but also more time-efficient, leading to better commercial cost-savings. The reduced setup time and quicker project execution mean lower labour costs, resulting in more efficient and profitable operations. These platforms also improve worker safety by minimising the risks associated with traditional access methods, contributing to fewer operational delays and smoother workflows ​(SDC Verifier) ​(Occupational Health and Safety Blog) ​(Conger Industries).

Yes, you do. MEWP operators should have attended a recognised operator training course and received a certificate, card or ‘licence’, listing the categories of MEWP the bearer is trained to operate. The certificate or card to operate a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) is also known as a powered access licence (PAL) card. Get MEWP Operating Training here
