Safety has become one of the primary selection criteria for dealers and renters in the tracked aerial platform market. Technological advancements have changed work at height, making it not only more operationally efficient but, above all, safer. Whether it is low-level access models or tracked platforms that can exceed 50 meters of working height, such as our RA53 spider, one of the aspects that a manufacturer must focus on is safety.
Compliance with national and international regulations is certainly the starting point. ISO 9001 certification and CE marking are essential for the European market, but it is also important to verify that the products are compliant in other specific markets (for example, Easy Lift spiders are also certified for the American market, the Canadian market and the Australian market). Always in terms of safety, Easy Lift has been an IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) member since 2018.
Aerial platforms should be equipped with a series of integrated safety features to protect operators and people nearby. Among the most important we find:
Working on aerial platforms requires specific skills and technical preparation by the operators. It is therefore very useful for dealers and renters to already provide their customers with adequate training on the safe use of aerial platforms and safety procedures, in order to optimize time and costs. An effective training program should include, as starting points:
Together with the adoption of platforms compliant with regulations, equipped with integrated safety features, and chosen from manufacturers with a solid reputation in safety, training represents an essential investment for the protection of all those who work at height and is precisely for this reason that it constitutes one of the fundamental post-sales services for Easy Lift.
Ergonomic and intuitive aerial platforms not only improve operator comfort but also concretely reduce the risk of accidents due to fatigue or human error. Here are some key aspects to keep in mind:
The Simple Inside philosophy of Easy Lift aims precisely to simplify work and maintenance of machinery, consequently reducing stress for operators as well.
We know that professional renters are obliged to carry out regular checks and preventive maintenance on aerial platforms. Therefore, choosing aerial platforms designed for easy maintenance, with easily accessible access points, helps to reduce downtime and associated costs.
A remote technical assistance service, like EasyCom by Easy Lift, allows for qualified, professional, and above all immediate support, optimizing maintenance times and costs with the possibility of always benefiting from the latest software updates of the machinery in use.
In addition to these factors, it is important that dealers and renters choose a manufacturer with a solid track record in safety, verifying the history of incidents and recalls associated with the products, as well as their commitment to respecting the highest safety standards.
By choosing aerial platforms built with safety in mind, dealers and renters can demonstrate their commitment to protecting their customers.
