Transporting mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) is always a big challenge in the equipment rental industry. The loading and unloading of MEWPs is potentially a high-risk activity due to the low chassis design of MEWPs. According to IPAF accident reporting database, nearly a third of the accidents recorded by the rental companies occur during the delivery and collection process. Ground-level loading/unloading MEWPs features can effectively reduce the potential risk and provide a safe working environment.
The conference, networking and gala dinner event takes place in the heart of England at the Doubletree by Hilton on the outskirts of Coventry. Elevation is aimed at the UK powered access industry and is open to IPAF members and non-members alike. The event is a chance for powered access professionals to meet and network, learn about the latest developments, and celebrate all that is great about our industry. BOOKING NOW OPEN
