Tracked Type MEWP For Rent

1. What is a Tracked Type MEWP?

A Tracked Type MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) is a versatile aerial lift equipped with rubber or steel tracks instead of wheels, allowing it to navigate uneven terrain, soft ground, and tight access areas with ease. Also known as spider lifts or tracked boom lifts, these machines are designed to safely elevate workers and tools to elevated work areas in both indoor and outdoor environments. Tracked MEWPs are commonly used for:

• Building maintenance and repair
• Tree trimming and landscaping
• Indoor high-ceiling access (e.g., atriums, auditoriums)
• Construction and industrial installations
• Utility line servicing

Types include:

• Articulated tracked boom lifts (for flexible, multi-angle access)
• Telescopic tracked boom lifts (for maximum outreach and height)

2. Why Rent or Buy a Tracked Type MEWP?

When working at height in challenging ground conditions or confined spaces, a tracked MEWP is often the best solution. Depending on your project timeline and budget, you may choose to rent or buy.

Why Rent a Tracked MEWP:

• Ideal for one-off jobs or short-term projects
• No maintenance or storage concerns
• Try different models based on access height or outreach
• Lower upfront cost for seasonal or occasional use
• Get the latest safety and efficiency features

Why Buy a Tracked MEWP:

• Cost-effective for companies with regular aerial work
• Immediate access to equipment without scheduling rentals
• Adds value to your fleet and long-term jobsite capabilities
• Customizable specs (working height, power type, tracks)
• Control over maintenance schedules and operator training

3. How to Choose the Right Tracked Type MEWP

Choosing the correct tracked MEWP is essential for safe access, productivity, and minimal ground disruption. Here’s what to consider:

• Working Height & Horizontal Reach: Models offer working heights from 30 Ft to 100+ Ft. Check your required up-and-over reach for obstacles like trees, walls, or ceilings
• Terrain and Ground Conditions: Tracked MEWPs are perfect for soft, muddy, sloped, or delicate surfaces like tiles or lawns. Low ground pressure prevents damage to indoor flooring or landscaping
• Power Source:
  • Diesel-powered: Ideal for outdoor use with long runtime
  • Electric or hybrid: Cleaner and quieter, perfect for indoor or emission-sensitive zones
• Size & Portability: Compact designs can pass through standard doors or gates. Models with self-leveling outriggers allow setup on uneven surfaces
• Safety Features:
  • Emergency descent systems
  • Load sensing and automatic stabilizers
  • Non-marking tracks for indoor applications
  • Anti-entrapment systems and harness anchor points
• Industry Application: Choose articulating boom lifts for complex, multi-angle jobs. Opt for telescopic models when straight vertical or horizontal reach is needed
