What type of man lift do I need?

There are three types of man lifts commonly used for construction projects:

• • Self-propelled manlifts: These are the smallest type of manlift, raising 15 to 20 feet. These are best for small-scale construction, ceiling repair, warehouse, and wall work.
• • Push-around manlifts: Push-around manlifts allow workers to fit into tight spaces that are higher up. They have a relatively light frame (400 pounds or less) and are good for overhead maintenance tasks.
• • Atrium lifts: Also known as crawler lifts, atrium lifts are the best choice for large construction repairs, renovations, and outdoor jobs. Their jib joints and ability to rotate make it easier to access hard-to-reach places, bypassing utility or phone lines, tree branches, and similar obstacles. Their belted tracks allow them to navigate difficult terrain.

Should I use a single man lift or boom lift?

Both a single man lift and boom lift perform aerial tasks. Single man lifts are ideal for tighter spaces where minimal tools are needed.

Boom lifts are larger and there are models that can reach higher than manlifts. They can accommodate more than one person for jobs that require multiple workers. They also have a greater range of motion than manlifts and can move at different angles.

Do I need a license to operate a man lift?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires training and aerial lift certification. Online classes, videos, and tutorials are available, as well as in-person training. You can be certified to operate a manlift after completing an online course offered by the U.S. Department of Labor, or you can receive training from major manufacturers.
