What does MEWP stand for?
Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)
A Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP), also known as an aerial device, aerial lift, or cherry picker, is a mechanical platform designed to provide temporary access to elevated areas for workers, materials and equipment.
Widely used in power generation plants (power stations) and heavy industry, such as petrochemical and refinery sites, MEWPs are essential for safe and efficient working at height.
Types of MEWPs include scissor lifts, boom lifts, spider lifts and trailer mounted boom lifts, each suited for specific tasks. They are commonly used for jobs like installing netting, cladding, steel erecting, warehousing and more.
MEWPs adhere to strict safety standards, offering a more mobile and flexible alternative to steps, ladders or scaffolding, making them invaluable in industrial settings.
