Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EWP and when is it needed?
An elevated work platform (EWP) is a machine used to safely lift workers and tools to heights for jobs like tree trimming, painting or maintenance. It’s often used when ladders are unsafe or impractical. EWP access allows for stable positioning and better visibility when working above ground. It’s the go-to option for many outdoor tasks that require secure access to high or awkward areas.
Do I need a licence to hire an EWP?
If you're hiring the EWP with one of our trained operators, you don't need a licence yourself. However, if you intend to operate the machine independently, you may require a high-risk work licence, depending on the type and height of the platform. We’re happy to advise on the legal requirements and offer operated hire for convenience and peace of mind. Safety is our priority, and we ensure all equipment is compliant with current regulations.
How high can your EWPs reach?
Our elevated work platforms are suitable for most residential and commercial jobs, with reach capacity tailored to typical tree services and building maintenance. If your project involves extra height or specific clearance requirements, let us know and we’ll confirm if our equipment meets your needs. We always assess the site before use to ensure access is safe and effective. Each job is different, and we work with you to match the right EWP to the task.

Uses for EWPs
Elevated work platforms are essential for a range of tasks that require safe, elevated access. In arboriculture, they allow for precise tree lopping, pruning and removal without climbing. They’re also commonly used for property maintenance, such as gutter cleaning, roof inspections, painting, lighting installs and sign work. EWPs offer greater stability and manoeuvrability compared to ladders or scaffolding, especially in tight or uneven spaces. Hiring an EWP improves efficiency, reduces manual strain and enhances on-site safety. Whether you’re managing a one-off task or regular maintenance, EWPs provide a practical solution for working at height.
