Choosing a machine

Reach that suits the task

Three ways up. The right one depends on height, outreach and what's in the way.

  1. 01

    Scissor lifts

    Straight up with a large platform for crews, tools and materials. Electric for slabs and indoors, diesel rough-terrain for site conditions.

  2. 02

    Knuckle booms

    Articulating sections reach up and over plant, parapets and services to put you where a straight lift can't.

  3. 03

    Telescopic booms

    Maximum outreach from one set-up position, for façades, steelwork and structures the machine can't get close to.

Matching the machine

Six questions we'll ask

Have these answers ready and we can recommend the right access equipment on the first call.

Working height

How high?

Platform height plus reach. Tell us the highest point you need to work at.

Outreach

How far out?

If you can't get the machine close to the work face, a boom's horizontal reach matters most.

Power & tyres

Inside or out?

Electric, non-marking units for indoors and slabs. Diesel and four-wheel drive for sites.

Set-up

What's the ground like?

Slope, soft ground, suspended slabs and finished floors all change the machine choice.

Platform capacity

Who and what goes up?

Number of people, tools and materials on the platform at once.

Clearance

What's in the way?

Plant, parapets, services and structure can call for an up-and-over knuckle boom.

Safety built in

Our access equipment is supplied with the safety systems your site expects, so your crew can focus on the work.

  • Tilt sensors and alarms
  • Slow (creep) drive at height
  • Emergency power and lowering

FAQ

Common questions

Something else you need to know? Call 1800 WE LIFT or email the team.

Do I need a licence to operate a boom lift?

In Australia, a High Risk Work Licence (WP class) is required to operate a boom-type elevating work platform with a boom length of 11 metres or more. Operators of scissor lifts, vertical lifts and smaller booms must be trained and competent for the equipment they use. If you're unsure what applies to your job, ask us before you book.

Can you deliver to my site?

Yes. We deliver and collect across South East Queensland. Tell us about site access, delivery times and any induction requirements when you enquire.

What if I'm not sure what equipment I need?

Tell us the task: working height or load weight, the location, the ground conditions and anything in the way. We'll recommend the right equipment, and for complex sites we can arrange a free site inspection.

Can I hire equipment or book a lift outside business hours?

Our office is open 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Deliveries, collections and work outside those hours can be scheduled by arrangement. Just let us know when you enquire.

How do I get pricing?

Pricing depends on the equipment, the hire period and your site. Email or call with the details of the job and our team will come back with equipment options, full specifications and pricing.
