The new board and pipe carrier can be fitted to the Power Tower and Power Tower Duo elevating electric platforms. It features a small ledge that can support plasterboard sheets, with a maximum weight capacity of 75kg. A rack along the handrail can carry lengths of material such as pipe, threaded rod or strut, weighing up to 45kg.
The Power Tower mobile elevating platform and two person Power Tower Duo, are designed to be compact, and at 0.78 m, can easily pass through standard doorways. When fitted with the new accessory, the board tray can be folded away when not in use, so the platform can still fit through聽standard doorways for easy manoeuvrability around a site. 鈥�
Both platforms聽offer a maximum working height of 5m, and聽are rated to lift 250kg total weight, which includes one person plus the material. The Power Tower Duo offers a two person lift capability, when the attachment is not in use.鈥� They offer compact working footprints of 1.89 x 1.22m for the Power Tower Duo, and just 0.78 x 1.62m for the Power Tower. Both models feature a 1.52 x 0.75m platform size to support a comfortable working environment.
Further accessories have also been added to the JLG Power Towers product portfolio. These include an anticlimb grate, which is designed to discourage operatives from standing on horizontal bars to gain extra height. This helps to encourage best practice, helping to reduce the risk of falls and helps reduce the likelihood of tools dropping.
A new compact platform option, the Power Tower CS confined space basket, is also available. It allows the full cage to be used within restricted areas,聽supporting working at height more efficiently and comfortably in tight or awkward spaces.
