Working for extended periods in hard-to-reach places requires care and safety. Ladders aren’t always enough, especially if you need to move around. For a truly safe and effective solution, it’s best to rent an aerial lift. These play an integral role in many industries and may be exactly what you need for your next construction or commercial project. Below, you’ll find a few of their many uses.

How to Use an Aerial Lift

1. Decorating

If you’re decorating the outside of your retail or office space, you want to ensure what you put up looks great. Doing so on a ladder is both unsafe and difficult. Instead, have an OSHA-certified employee use an aerial lift to handle the job. The same goes if you handle outdoor event planning for large-scale clients. You won’t have to waste time ascending and descending constantly, allowing you to complete the job more quickly and with better results.

2. Tree Trimming

Tree trimming requires care and precision, both for the health of the tree and the safety of the property. Reaching the necessary heights and getting deep into the tree’s leaf cover is difficult, and operating trimming equipment can be even harder. A lift makes it easy to reach these areas, tote equipment, and safely maneuver and operate so that you get the best results from the job.

3. Building Maintenance

If you’re in the window washing or building restoration business, you’ll need to get up close to clean all of the nooks, crannies, and glass on a property. These can be difficult to reach from the ground, and repelling isn’t always an option. An aerial lift lets you safely get to these areas and offers all the support you need to use tools like pressure washers. You can also easily adjust the height as needed and accommodate multiple workers.
