Aerial Work Platform

Empower employees to work at elevated heights with a custom Aerial Work Platform from BHS, Inc. These scissor lift platforms are designed for the safe elevation of personnel, tools, and materials. Custom Aerial Work Platforms provide vertical access to work for manufacturing lines, equipment inspection stations, parts picking operations, loading docks, and more.

By simplifying access to critical work, AWPs improve ergonomics, productivity, and worker safety in a variety of industrial scenarios. Use them for welding, painting, fabrication, inspection, elevated maintenance, assembly, or anywhere employees struggle to reach high spaces or equipment.

The BHS team custom-engineers every AWP to integrate seamlessly into your existing operation, ensuring safe, long-term use. Options include pit-mounting for floor-level collapse; track-mounting for horizontal as well as vertical travel; adjustable guard rails for better access to work; and custom size, shape, or lifting capacity your use case requires. All models offer emission-free operation with hydraulic lift components and electric power.

Like all BHS equipment, custom Aerial Work Platforms are manufactured in our state-of-the-art Midwest facility. Heavy-duty steel construction, top-quality hydraulic components, and a durable powder coating ensure reliable service in any environment. Choose foot-switch or pendant controls for simple operation. Safety features include platform railings, accordion skirt guards, thermal overload protection, velocity fuses, and more.

Aerial Platform Vs. Other Elevated Access Lifts

There are many common types of elevated work platforms: cherry pickers, telescoping boom lifts, knuckle boom lifts, vehicle-mounted aerial devices with articulated lift arms, and more. Aerial Work Platforms are different. Their lifting mechanisms use the articulated crossing pattern of an electric scissor lift. This design supports safe operation and a heavy lift capacity.

An aerial boom lift may be appropriate for construction companies, tree trimming, outdoor maintenance at extreme heights, or those seeking rental equipment. The Aerial Work Platform, on the other hand, is a stationary type of lift designed for upward motion along a fixed path. Our aerial lift designs are customized to fit into assembly lines, industrial maintenance stations, and other indoor spaces that require consistent access to overhead work.

Advantages of Aerial Work Platforms From BHS, Inc.

A solid steel deck platform supports a high platform lift capacity, while electric operation and intuitive lift controls ensure comfortable use, even in the absence of extensive aerial lift training. A wide range of additional features, including a variable range of motion, support virtually all industrial or warehouse applications.

These products meet all aerial lift safety requirements and require only basic maintenance. They don't require boom lift training or certified lift operators for safety (though all employees must be trained on correct operation). Efficient and emission-free battery operation keeps your workplace clean and free of fumes.
