What are the different types of access platforms?

Known in the trade as powered access solutions (a great little phrase to drop into a meeting if you want to score some brownie points with the boss) access platforms come in lots of different sizes and variations, all uniquely suited to different tasks. There are the very large hydraulically operated access platforms which are used on building sites and in large scale construction projects but there are also much smaller access platforms which have much more in common with the humble cherry picker than they do with big cumbersome machinery.

There are simply too many types to name here, from rough terrain scissor access platforms, vehicle mounted or self-propelled platforms,  you will likely find that many of the different types have their own unique pages on this website.

This page is to give more general advice about access platforms, how to use them and how to go about obtaining one for your business or your company. We will be looking at how easy they are to operate them, what training you might need and how, most importantly, your company can get its hands on one. So read on, and all will become clear.
