Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are considered to be one of the safest means of enabling temporary work at height. When buying a pre-owned MEWP, it is essential to ensure that the equipment complies with the relevant safety legislation and standards/codes of practice requirements in the country or region where it will be operating, before it is used. Every MEWP must be supplied in a safe working condition, with all safety devices functional.

Regular servicing, maintenance and inspection can prolong the lifespan of powered access equipment. In doing so, it ensures the equipment is safe, reliable, and remains compliant with global legislation and safety standards.

Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) rental companies should carry out a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) before the equipment is made available for hire. The purpose of this is to ensure the MEWP is operating within the specified design requirements of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
