Whether they’re scissor lifts, boom lifts or some other kind of powered, mobile platform used to elevate workers to various heights, aerial lifts are very useful – and potentially dangerous.
Aerial lifts can be found at construction and telecommunications job sites and in warehouses. They’re used for everything from painting, drywall installation, maintenance, moving materials – even changing lightbulbs. They’re mobile and can easily be deployed to jobsites. They involve minimal setup time. For these reasons, aerial lifts are often used instead of scaffolding.
