What is a man lift?
A man lift is a compact aerial work platform designed to lift one or more workers vertically so they can safely perform tasks above ground level. Man lifts are commonly used when a ladder is not practical and a larger boom or scissor lift is unnecessary. Many models are ideal for tight indoor spaces, finished floors, warehouses, schools, retail stores, and maintenance environments.
Depending on the model, man lifts can also be used outdoors on firm, stable surfaces for overhead repair, installation, and inspection work.
