Compact and portable, these lifts are designed to lift one or two workers and are convenient to set up and maneuver in tight spaces. A variety of base and platform options make these man lifts easy to customize for a broad range of construction, maintenance, industrial, retail and warehouse applications. While they are versatile for any job, they provide an economical, easy-to-transport access solution as well. Electric man lifts only extend vertically and do not offer an over and under option like other booms. The versatility of these lifts continues as the can fit through standard doorways and are great for working in tight spaces. Regardless of the scope of your work, electric man lifts provide additional features beyond transport and access, including being equipped with electrical outlets or compressed air connectors for power tools. Always check the lifts operating and emergency controls, safety devices (such as, outriggers and guardrails), personal fall-protection gear, wheels and tires, and other machine components specified by the manufacturer.
Always be on the lookout for possible leaks (air, hydraulic fluid, and fuel-system) and loose or missing parts. For electric man lifts, maintaining the battery water level is key to extending the life of your lift for the duration of your job.
Always take extra caution while working near power lines to avoid any mishaps and always stick to the instructions that are defined in the operators manual while in use. Before using the equipment, inspect it properly, so that there are no cracked welds, even if you are using it on a daily basis. This is critical to your safety and to avoid accidents. In case you find any problems with the equipment, it is always advisable to take the help of a trained professional to fix it. Never attempt to service the equipment without first contacting a Volvo Rents service technician.
