MEWPS

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are used for elevated work tasks in construction, railway maintenance and tree care. These platforms include boom lifts, spider lifts and cherry pickers. Group A MEWPs are typically used for vertical access, with 3A and 3B classifications being essential for tasks requiring precision, particularly in aerial lift types like boom lifts.

Truck-mounted and trailer-mounted MEWPs provide mobility for large-scale projects, while van-mounted and tracked MEWPs are suitable for smaller, specialised tasks. A comprehensive risk assessment is necessary before starting any work, and LOLER inspections ensure the safety and functionality of MEWPs. Operators must be trained and certified, often through IPAF training, to meet industry standards.

At UK MEWPS Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of new and used MEWPs, including boom lifts. Our products prioritise safety, durability and performance, ensuring reliable solutions for elevated work tasks in even the toughest working environments. Whether you’re managing industrial maintenance, retail facility upkeep, roller door installation or construction projects, our MEWPs are engineered to meet the specific demands of your job site.

Our MEWP hire and rental services offer flexible access solutions for both short-term and long-term projects. These platforms are commonly used in construction, signage installation, cladding, roller door installation, painting and decorating, among other applications.

Before operating a MEWP, it’s vital to follow a comprehensive checklist that includes checking outriggers, ensuring the platform is on stable ground and confirming that all safety mechanisms are operational. Completing a MEWP course can provide operators with the necessary skills and knowledge to use the equipment safely and efficiently.
