Do you need to work at height in small spaces? Mini Scissors.

Working at height safely

The first solution that comes to mind is to use a ladder. Because it is small, transportable, weighs little and goes everywhere. But did you know that the staircase is a means of access but not a means of work?

During these last years, technology, materials and work techniques have developed a great evolution, and even more so in the specific sectors that entail risks derived from the performance of work at height, this has been thanks to the awareness of companies and their workers for their occupational safety.

If you need to work at height in small spaces, don’t resort to the ladder. Any data on workplace accidents confirms this. Find the best solution for your work team that allows them to work safely, efficiently and effectively.

Do you know the best solutions for working at height in small spaces? Below, we explain the safety recommendations when working at height and the best equipment for these jobs.

Low-rise platforms eliminate the fall hazards that occur when using ladders. Since mainly the basket of the platform, allows the worker to operate safely and be able to have mobility within it.

In addition, the basket is surrounded by a railing with skirting boards. This is very important, as the operator can carry his tools with him on the platform comfortably. The same operator can handle height, angle, position, and speed.

These platforms can be leveled on less than regular terrain and are more economical than scaffolding, as they speed up working time and therefore increase efficiency. You will be able to work better, faster and much safer.

Safety recommendations

However, there are a number of Recommendations that we must take into account when working at height safely:

• The helmet. We must make sure to wear a safety helmet in the entire area where there is a danger of falling objects or materials.
• If they move horizontally, they will have a safety strap solidly tied to two fixed points, tying the belts to this strap.
• Use personal protection systems (seat belt or fall arrest harness with CE marking, in addition to using collective protection.
• Suitable footwear with non-slip soles.
• Tool holders, to prevent them from falling.

Working at height in small spaces

Low-rise platforms have good maneuverability in tight spaces with compact dimensions, allowing entry through doors and elevators. They are lightweight for use on technical flooring.

The platforms we have at LIFTISA are ideal for working in small spaces. They pass through tight spaces, can dodge obstacles, even pass through doors.

The passage doors usually measure 72.5 cm, and 82.5 cm wide. Our platforms measure from 70cm, 74cm, 75cm, etc.

In any case, our team will advise you on the machine that best suits your needs, not only in terms of lifting, but also in manoeuvrability, taking into account working hours, among many other aspects.

If you are working on a construction site or are dedicated to the construction sector and need a machine to work indoors.

Our recommendation

LIFTISA is the solution, because we have light machines and they are also super easy to transport, they fit inside a large van.
