Why Platform Basket Canada’s Spider Lifts Beat All Competition
Working in construction? Or forestry? Perhaps your job is in transit maintenance or telecom tower repairs. No matter which industry you belong to, each of them has one thing in common - their tasks demand working at heights frequently. That means you need access equipment that makes your project, not breaks it.
Enter Platform Basket Canada’s masterfully made spider lifts. Combining the finesse of Italian engineering with advanced technology in a compact form factor, our lifts are a highly versatile and maneuverable piece of equipment that’s widely preferred by contractors over its competitors.
Want to know why? Because our spider lifts not only cater to Canada’s uniquely challenging work environments, but they also bring unique advantages that make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Let’s explore!
1. Compact by design
If you compare our spider lifts to traditional boom lifts, you will appreciate just how compact the former is. We carefully designed our spider lift to ensure it would easily fit through standard doors and gates without causing any hassle whatsoever.
Moreover, our lifts are also capable of accessing all kinds of narrow spots that other equipment just can’t reach, including narrow corridors and alleyways and other congested spaces. You can also safely use our lifts indoors and outdoors, which makes them a versatile option that can seamlessly cater to jobs in commercial and residential complexes.
2. Lightweight build with low ground pressure
Most aerial lift machines tend to be too heavy for delicate surfaces like marble, tiles or protected ground such as vegetation and landscaped areas. Not ours, though. Platform Basket Canada’s spider lift is a powerful workhorse that doesn’t damage the ground it’s working on.
Equipped with multiple legs, our uniquely designed lifts feature equal distribution of weight, which allows them to function with low ground pressure. This minimizes the risk of damage to intricate landscaping or fragile flooring, among other surfaces. In short, they’re perfect for use in environments that require the preservation of the integrity of the surface.
3. Stable operation on challenging terrain
Our spider lifts feature extendable tracks that maintain their grip on the ground no matter how rough the terrain is. Stable operation is pretty much a guarantee with us. You can also use the multi-position outriggers of our spider lifts to ensure it stays immovable on sloped or uneven ground as well as rail crossings.
Did you know each leg of our lift can be adjusted individually? This further reinforces its stability irrespective of the condition of the site. This means you can safely use it on ground covered with snow or sand. Even soft and delicate surfaces are not a problem. Grounds with obstacles aren’t a challenge either.
4. Extensive reach and maneuverability
What is the point of getting modern aerial work platforms if they don't offer the kind of reach and maneuverability like ours do? You can reach impressive working heights of up to 54m with our most advanced model. It will also give you the flexibility to extend up to 20m on the side.
This superior range makes it easy to reach even the most inaccessible areas. In fact, the extendability of our lifts makes them perfect for arborist work, telecom installations, signage installations, rooftop repairs and more. Plus, the precise controls ensure operators can safely position themselves at very specific heights and angles to carry out their job.
5. Bi-energy power
Finally, our dual-powered lifts offer the flexibility of switching your power source without hurting the environment. Our hybrid spider lifts make use of lithium-ion batteries instead of lead ones, which not only makes them more sustainable but also guarantees longer use per charge as well extended lifespan of the battery overall.
Moreover, the lithium-ion batteries we use are lightweight and produce lower noise levels. They also offer greater energy savings. Plus, you have the option of running our lift on biodegradable hydraulic oil, which makes it more eco-friendly than most.
