Power Towers Machines: Essential Parts Explained 

Power Towers mobile elevated platforms consist of various essential parts that contribute to the machines’ functionality and safety.  

Manual elevated MEWPs

Power Towers’ manual elevated platforms, such as Pecolift, are designed to provide a safer alternative to traditional ladders. One of the crucial parts, all of our machines have, is gates, that make the platforms fully guarded. The flywheel handle is a pivotal part of manually elevated MEWPs. It enables operators to ascend and descend the platform easily and within seconds. The platform tray offers a stable surface for users to stand on, while the spirit level assists in finding the right flat surface to use the machine on. Swivel castors contribute to stability and maneuverability, ensuring that the platform easily fits through standard doors, and can be moved around with little to no effort. Additionally, auto-lock braked wheels help to prevent unwanted movement, enhancing the overall safety of Power Towers MEWPs. 

Such models as Pecolift, Ecolift, Ecolift WR, Nano 25, and Nano 35 have a tool tray to provide operators with convenient space for their tools and equipment. This seemingly simple feature helps to enhance operators’ efficiency and organization during tasks. 

Electric elevated MEWPs

Power Towers electric elevated platforms share some common parts with manual ones while incorporating additional features. The battery is a fundamental component, providing the necessary power to drive the platform. Controls allow users to navigate and adjust the platform’s height. In case with self-propelled MEWPs, controls also help to drive the machine around the working environment without a need to lower the platform.  

A battery isolator acts as a safety measure, allowing users to disconnect the power source when the platform is not in use. 

All our machines have emergency lowering tools and controls, in case, if unforeseen situation happens. For instance, if an operator faints during work, the supervisors and fellow colleagues will be able to lower the platform and get the operator out of it.  

Power Towers mobile elevated platforms serve diverse industries, from construction and maintenance to warehouse operations. Their versatile design and essential parts make them indispensable for tasks that require working at height. Regular maintenance and adherence to safety protocols are crucial to ensuring the longevity and reliability of these machines. 

To summarize, whether manual or electric, mobile elevated platforms are a valuable asset in various industries. Understanding the functions of each part and following proper usage guidelines are essential for a safe and efficient working environment. We encourage you to thoroughly read operation manuals before utilizing the Power Towers machines. Besides, Power Towers provides familiarization courses to help operators gain their competency.
