MEWPS TRAINING

STATIC SCISSOR & BOOM TRAINING

The Scissor Lift is often referred to as a Flying Carpet. This mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) is used to gain access directly above the base of the machine although some have a platform that can be extended to gain a little more reach. The basket provides a safer platform to work from than using a ladder
