Unconventional Spider Lift Accessories That Enhance Efficiency

While getting a spider lift that outperforms its competition is great, it is even better to equip it with useful accessories that simplify onsite jobs for you and your crew. Technological advancements in the world of spider lifts have now made it easy to accessorize these machines with unique add-ons that increase their efficiency, versatility, and safety significantly.

At Platform Basket Canada, we offer you the flexibility to enhance the performance of our spider lifts with one-of-a-kind accessories that adapt to complex jobsite demands across various industries - all the way from construction to arboriculture.

Here is a breakdown of the unusual capability-expanding spider lift accessories we offer.

1. Non-marking rubber tracks

Though lightweight, spider lifts can still potentially damage sensitive surfaces such as finished flooring, marble, and tiles. Adding non-marking rubber tracks is an easy fix. Our tracks prevent damage to the surface along with any scuffs and scratches, so you can safely use them indoors in malls, airports, museums, and hospitals. They also provide great traction.

2. Diesel engine upgrade

Available for select models that go up to 20m only, our diesel engine upgrade provides your equipment with the power it needs to function outdoors or in remote settings. This simple enhancement is capable of increasing our spider lift’s torque and runtime, so you can use it for longer hours without experiencing snags. It is a good choice for forestry, construction, and infrastructure projects that require the extra horsepower.

3. Large-sized stabilizer shoes

Though stable by design, uneven or soft terrain can throw spider lifts off-balance. Surfaces covered with grass, gravel, or snow can be a tripping hazard. You can prevent your machine from falling over with our dedicated stabilizer shoes. Designed to evenly distribute the machine’s weight, these extra-large shoes provide great stability along with lower ground pressure. This allows operators to safely use our atrium lifts for seasonal maintenance tasks, landscaping, and remote access.

4. Rotating baskets

Available for atrium lift models that go up to 18m only, our rotating baskets simplify access to tight zones. Their easy repositioning feature allows operators to position their crew in the right spot without having to move the whole lift. This can save valuable time and effort - especially for complicated jobs such as telecom and signage installations, facade work, landscaping, and more.

5. Two-speed track drive

The major benefit of this accessory is that it allows you to seamlessly switch between slow and fast movements. While slow and controlled movements can help you position the lift accurately, fast speeds can make it easy to move across sites.

Especially useful for work zones that span larger areas such as construction sites or warehouses, our two-speed track drive system ensures you can smoothly navigate through both obstacle-heavy spots and empty spans with ease. Bear in mind that this add-on is only available for our 18m models.

6. Work spotlight in the basket

Working at nighttime or in areas with poor visibility, such as tunnels, can be a challenge - especially in remote areas, as they may not always have a light source around. That is why we offer the option to affix a work spotlight to the basket of our spider lifts. This integrated spotlight enhances safety and visibility, ensuring your team can carry on their tasks in low-light conditions without any unnecessary delays.

7. Anti-collision conductive rubber edge guards

Safety is paramount when using spider lifts in congested areas. Prevention of damage due to accidental collisions is possible with our conductive rubber edge guards. They minimize impact when you are working closely around large equipment, glass structures, or other vehicles. Moreover, their conductive properties are instrumental in mitigating electrical hazards - especially for utility-oriented tasks.

Conclusion

Apart from the above, we also offer other useful accessories like safety guards, outreach enhancements, and interchangeable baskets. Furthermore, you get the flexibility of opting for custom accessories if your work demands go beyond standard requirements. Rest assured, Platform Basket Canada is always there to serve you with spider lifts and compatible add-ons that help you work smarter, not harder.
