When using mobile booms (3b) work platforms such as telescopic work platforms and articulated telescopic work platforms as well as static booms (1b) such as truck platforms, trailer platforms and crawler platforms, the operator is required to wear PPE. PPE can save lives in the event of an accident. The personal protective device, which includes a safety harness, fall damper and industrial safety helmet, should be put on before you get into the work basket. PPE is either offered to you directly when you rent a work platform or you can order the protective equipment online with free shipping costs.
In order to make the rental request as easy as possible, we have compiled a detailed step-by-step guide. In addition to the digital rental request, our technical field service would be happy to hear from you in person by e-mail or telephone.
