Aerial Lifts
Aerial lifts are able to extend into the air at heights of between ten and fifty feet. Aerial lifts are commonly used to lift workers to a height that could not be accessed through other means. These may be known as aerial work platforms (AWPs), mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), or, more informally, as cherry pickers. Aerial lifts are commonly used at construction sites.
One common type of aerial lift is the scissor lift, which uses linked, folded supports that draw together to lift the table. Other types of aerial lifts include telescoping lifts, which have multiple overlapping sections that move out of one another to extend and articulated lifts that use multiple jointed sections that unfold to lift a platform or bucket.
