LIFTMAN FOLD™
An ATEX certified pneumatic personal man lift with foldable mast, reducing the need for scaffolds and the cost and time spent on maintenance...
The LIFTMAN FOLD man lift is designed and developed for the offshore and onshore segments for oil and gas installations and the chemical industry.
Typically this would be offshore oil and gas installations / rigs, onshore oil and gas installations / rigs and various chemical plants. This portable work platform has built-in safety features to ensure safe operations both onshore, offshore and inland chemical plants. Today, the LIFTMAN FOLD man lift is in operation at oil & gas offshore platforms.
The certified pneumatic personal man lift – LIFTMAN FOLD – reduces the need for scaffolds when doing maintenance. Avoiding the use of scaffolds reduces the cost and time spent on maintenance work. Planned and unplanned maintenance work can be executed in a very effective and cost saving way. The foldable man lift also increases the safety for working at height on offshore or onshore platform.
As offshore, onshore and chemical plants have ATEX-zones (where explosive gases and fumes are present), they would require equipment which complies with norms and standards for operation in these environments, combined with compliance to safety regulations for work at height. The LIFTMAN FOLD man lift complies with operation in an ATEX environment combined with the laws and regulations for working at height. It is even certified for operations outdoors as well.
The LIFTMAN FOLD man lift has a foldable mast, which allows the man lift to be transported through narrow passages, and into ie elevators, so that the unit can be moved to another level inside a platform or building for maintenance work. The personal man lift – LIFTMAN FOLD – is moved manually by using an integrated handle. The up/down function is driven by compressed air. In cases where no outlet for compressed air is available, scuba diving tanks can be used. The LIFTMAN FOLD can be used with the mast folded as well.
