When renting a lift platform, we must consider the nature of the task to determine which lift platform is needed for each situation. A safe and efficient job at height is based on meeting certain requirements to reach very high or hard-to-access work areas. At Manain, we offer a personalized service for each situation.

This type of lifting equipment is a practical and efficient alternative to ladders, scaffolding, and other types of elevating devices. They offer a higher level of safety and efficiency in tasks. However, each is more suitable for specific tasks, which is why it is important to choose the right lift platform.

It is important to be clear about the work position where the tasks will be performed. We have compiled the basic aspects to consider when renting the platform that best fits the work, from 3.5 meters up to 43 meters in height.

Basic aspects to consider when renting a platform:

• Total access height. It is necessary to know the maximum height needed for the task. At Manain, we offer a wide variety of lifting equipment, ranging from 3.5 meters up to 43 meters in height, including aerial lifts, scissors, and articulated diesel and electric models. For example, articulated or telescopic arms can overcome obstacles and access hidden and hard-to-reach areas thanks to their articulation.

• Workspace. Depending on the work area, it is important to consider the measurements between the floor and ceiling in indoor spaces. For example, openings where the equipment will pass through, the square meters where the lift platform will be positioned, and the space required for the operators, as well as other hanging or obstructing elements that may be present, both indoors and outdoors.

• Surface of the ground. The working ground should be differentiated between outdoor, whether hard, rocky, grassy, or muddy, and indoor, if the working area is flat and smooth. This will determine the type of lift platform and the traction force needed. Also, whether the ground can support the weight of the equipment, materials, and workers. Generally, an electric machine with zero emissions is recommended for indoors, and a diesel one for outdoors.

• Required working capacity.The number of workers who will operate the platform and the weight of materials that need to be lifted. Also, the size of the lift platform required for the tasks.
