A truck mounted EWP (Elevated Work Platform) integrates a heavy-duty aerial lift onto a commercial truck chassis, combining highway mobility with extreme height access capabilities. These units provide rapid deployment for utility work, emergency response, and specialised maintenance tasks, representing the ultimate in mobile aerial access for operations across New Zealand's diverse infrastructure.

Key features of a Truck Mounted EWP

• Integrated Truck Platform: Purpose-built or retrofitted commercial trucks provide highway-speed mobility between sites.
• Extreme Height Capability: Largest models reach working heights exceeding 60m for specialized applications.
• Insulated Options: Dielectric booms and platforms available for safe electrical utility work.
• Advanced Stabilization: Heavy-duty outriggers with automatic leveling ensure stability during operation.
• Multiple Control Stations: Ground and platform controls with optional remote operation capabilities.

Truck Mounted EWP Considerations

• Licensing Requirements: Commercial driving and specialised EWP certifications affect operator availability.
• Operating Costs: Fuel, registration, and maintenance expenses exceed standard EWP running costs.
• Site Access: Vehicle size impacts route planning and available work locations.
• Height/Reach Planning: Extreme capabilities require detailed safety planning and risk assessment.
• Utility Specifications: Electrical work demands appropriate insulation ratings and safety procedures.
