What is an aerial lift?

An aerial lift is a powered machine designed to safely raise workers, tools, and materials above ground level. Depending on the type of lift, the platform can move vertically, horizontally, or both, allowing operators to reach areas that would be difficult or unsafe to access using ladders or scaffolding.

Modern aerial lifts are designed to improve productivity while meeting workplace safety requirements across a wide range of industries.

Several types of aerial lifts are available for different applications, including:

• Scissor lifts
• Boom lifts
• Articulating boom lifts
• Telescopic boom lifts
• Trailer-mounted lifts
• Spider lifts
• Vertical mast lifts
• Truck-mounted lifts
• Personnel lifts

Each type is designed for specific working heights, outreach requirements, terrain conditions, and lifting capacities.

Common applications

Lifts are commonly used for:

• Construction projects
• Building maintenance
• Warehouse operations
• Industrial facilities
• Electrical installation
• HVAC installation and servicing

Their versatility makes aerial lifts an efficient alternative to scaffolding for many temporary work-at-height tasks.

Choosing the right lift
