Choose the right vertical mast lift for your working height

Determine the required working height for the task. This includes taking into account the height of the worker, the reach of the tool, and any possible additional height requirements. For example, in construction, installation or maintenance may need to be performed on a tall structure, so the vertical mast lift selected must be able to reach this height easily.

Rated height of vertical mast lift

Each vertical mast lift has a rated working height range, usually provided by the manufacturer. When selecting, make sure the maximum height of the selected lift is slightly higher than the required working height to avoid safety hazards when operating. It is usually recommended to increase the rated working height by at least 1 meter above the actual requirement to ensure sufficient safety margin.

Different types of vertical mast lifts

Electric vertical mast lifts: These lifts usually have higher working heights and greater stability, suitable for large construction projects. Electric lifts provide smooth operation when reaching heights, suitable for long-term use.

Manual lifts: Although these lifts are generally suitable for lower working heights, their flexibility and portability make them very useful in some confined spaces and low-height jobs.

Aerial work platforms: For tasks that require working at great heights, it may be more appropriate to choose a specific type of aerial work platform, which is often designed with additional safety features and greater stability.
