In construction sites, factory maintenance and warehousing & logistics, mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) are essential equipment to improve efficiency and safety. However, buyers often feel overwhelmed when faced with many types including articulated lifts, telescopic lifts, scissor lifts and mast lifts. This article helps you sort out the selection logic at one time.
1. Selection by Working Height
4–14 m: Scissor Lifts. Featuring large platform space and strong load capacity, they are suitable for flat floors in factories, warehouses and construction sites.
10–20 m: Articulated Lifts are recommended. With great horizontal outreach and the ability to cross obstacles, they fit exterior wall construction and tree trimming.
10–36 m: Telescopic Lifts. They deliver faster vertical lifting speed, ideal for high-altitude work in large venues, shipbuilding, petrochemical industries and more.
2. Selection by Power Type
Indoor sites or areas with strict environmental requirements: Choose electric MEWPs, zero emission and low noise.
Long-duration outdoor operations: Choose diesel MEWPs for long endurance and powerful performance.
3. Selection by Travel Mode
Flat indoor floors: Wheeled models are sufficient.
Farmland, muddy ground and construction sites: Tracked or rough-terrain models are recommended.
4. Product Portfolio of Longqing Heavy Industry
