Aerial work platforms (AWPs) are specialized equipment designed to provide temporary access to elevated areas for construction, maintenance, and other tasks. They come in various types, including scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers, each suited for different applications and heights. AWPs are commonly used in industries such as construction, warehousing, and telecommunications. These platforms are typically powered by electricity or diesel and can be operated by a single person. Safety features, such as guardrails and emergency stop buttons, are essential to protect workers while they perform tasks at height. Proper training and adherence to safety regulations are crucial when using AWPs.
