Reliable rental service providers will ask open questions to ensure that the recommended equipment is a satisfactory solution.

If you are  familiar with renting mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP), it is important to find equipment suppliers.

Good equipment suppliers can provide value-added services to improve field operations.

Consistently provide products that meet the needs,  make a positive contribution to saving labor  the duration of equipment rental.

The following is a list of some project information that can be provided to equipment suppliers to ensure that the lessor obtains the correct MEWP to complete the work:

What type of work the equipment will do

The working style affects the common functions of the equipment. Special options  accessories are also available to customize the machine for certain applications such as material handling  secondary protection. The number of people that need to be on the platform is also important. Different MEWPs have different basket sizes, entry points,  operator  load-bearing capacity levels. Finally, understanding the operator’s own experience  training level is essential for a reliable leasing provider. This helps to determine whether operator training  familiarization training is required before starting work.

Load capacity

The capacity of the MEWP basket ranges  300 pounds to more than 1,000 pounds. According to the ANSI A92 design standard, increasing the basket overload will prevent the equipment  operating. Calculating the equipment load is critical to avoid exceeding the rated capacity of the equipment. Nowadays, applications that require heavy tools, material lifting,  multiple operators are so common that the capacity of many standard baskets usually starts at 1,000 pounds.

What are the obstacles on the job site

Fixed obstacles, such as water, ditches,  solid structures, indicate the vertical  horizontal ranges required to enter work at heights. Some MEWPs also provide special upside-down functions to place the operator's basket around elevated obstacles in a narrow working environment. In this case, the machine's chassis size  maneuverability (such as turning radius, proportional control,  other steering options) may also be critical to field operations.

Are there any abnormalities at the work site

Explain carefully to the rental provider the environmental aspects in which the equipment will operate. They should be familiar with all the different functions  limitations outlined in the machine operator's manual. These may indicate anything  noise  emissions  densely populated construction sites to extreme temperature performance  corrosion protection.

Power setting

Consider  the equipment can be used (indoor  outdoor), whether it is easy to get fuel  electricity,  whether it requires long-distance travel  long-term use. These factors will guide a reasonable balance between drive performance, cost, energy efficiency  availability.

Need to reach  work

The required working height is an obvious  important selection criterion for MEWP. In the United States, the actual working height should be 6 feet (representing the range that an ordinary worker standing on the platform can extend his arms straight), so the working height is 60 feet. For example, the boom lift height is actually 66 feet.

The need for horizontal extension is also a determining factor  may indicate the need for boom lift. Other MEWPs, such as scissor lifts, self-propelled vertical lifts  pushable lifts, have almost no horizontal reach beyond any extended deck product. The working area that each boom lift can enter depends on its vertical height  horizontal extension capacity (usually called its range of motion  working range). The range of motion chart graphically depicts the arc-shaped area in which each boom can execute,  is placed on the graph to easily determine the access capability of the device.

will the equipment be used

Whether you are working on a single site  on multiple sites, you can show the flexibility of the model. Certain devices provide the versatility to perform various tasks in a variety of different environments, such as AC-driven hybrid machines. Other products, such as the Genie AWP super straddle personnel lift  the Quick Stock vertical mast lift, are designed to optimize work in specific applications.

Whether the work is indoor, outdoor  combined use, it will affect the choice of power source, such as AC, DC, dual energy  internal combustion engine, accessibility, for example, any weight limit on floor weight  minimum retractable size of doorways, topographical properties  slope.
