EWPA (Elevating Work Platform) Mackay

From building sites to powerline maintenance, arborist work and more, EWPs (Elevating Work Platform) help make light work of difficult jobs. Being able to use an EWP safely is a great skill to have and one that many employers will look for in new applicants.

Elevating work platforms are any workspace that is raised/elevated to make working at heights easier. An example of an EWPA could be a boom lift or ‘cherry picker’ which are often used for maintenance work on powerlines.
