ECO WIND RATED PLATFORM LIFT

Ecolift Wind Rated Outdoor Manual Platform: Unleash Manual Power Outdoors

The Ecolift Wind Rated Outdoor Manual Platform (Ecolift WR / Ecolift X) redefines low-level access for outdoor applications. Building on the core strengths of the innovative, human-powered Ecolift, this wind-rated variant provides a robust, stable, and completely power-free solution for elevated work, even when exposed to external elements. It offers an unparalleled combination of environmental sustainability, operational simplicity, and enhanced safety for outdoor tasks.

Features

• 4.20m (13 ft 9 in) Max. Working Height: Provides practical vertical reach for a multitude of outdoor low-level access tasks, including facade inspections, light construction, maintenance, and outdoor event setup.
• 2.20m (7 ft 3 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
• Revolutionary Manual Lift Mechanism: "Non-Powered, Powered Access"
  • No Batteries, No Electricity, No Hydraulics: The Ecolift WR operates entirely through a patented mechanical system. The operator simply steps onto the platform (activating the auto-brake) and turns an intuitive handle, effortlessly elevating the platform to the desired height.
  • Zero Emissions & Silent Operation: Crucial for environmentally sensitive sites, residential areas, or working near public spaces where noise and fumes are unacceptable.
  • Unlimited Lift Cycles / 24/7 Availability: No charging downtime, no fuel to run out – the Ecolift WR is always ready for immediate deployment, maximizing productivity.
• Wind-Rated for Outdoor Use (Up to 12.5 m/s / 28 mph): This is the distinguishing feature. Reinforced design and a wider 0.95m (3 ft 1 in) overall width (compared to the standard Ecolift's 0.70m) provide the necessary stability to safely operate outdoors in light to moderate wind conditions.
• Compact & Manoeuvrable:
  • Narrow 0.95m (3 ft 1 in) Overall Width: Despite being wind-rated, it remains compact enough to fit through standard double doorways and many outdoor gates, allowing access to confined exterior areas.
  • Lightweight Design (approx. 335 kg - 354 kg): Easy to push and pull into position by hand, minimizing effort and reducing ground loading on sensitive surfaces.
  • Small Working Footprint (1.28m x 0.95m): Efficiently utilizes space on site.
• 150 kg (331 lbs) Platform Capacity: Safely accommodates one operator along with their essential tools and materials.
• No Outriggers Required: The inherent stability of the Ecolift WR's design eliminates the need for cumbersome outriggers, simplifying setup and allowing it to be used in very tight spaces without increasing its operational footprint.
• Enhanced Safety Features:
  • Step-In Access: Eliminates the need for climbing, significantly reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls inherent with ladders and steps.
  • All-Round Guardrails & Self-Closing Gate: Provides a fully enclosed and secure working environment for the operator.
  • Auto-Lok Brake on Elevation: The wheels automatically lock when the operator steps onto the platform and when the platform is elevated, ensuring complete stability.
  • Fail-Safe Lifting Mechanism & Dead Man's Handle: Engineered for reliable and secure operation.
  • Max. 3-Degree Gradient for Operation: Allows for safe use on slightly uneven outdoor surfaces (always check the spirit level and ensure the bubble is within the designated circle before use).
  • Audible Alarms: Warns nearby personnel during platform movement.
• Minimal Maintenance & Low Operational Costs: With no batteries to charge, no hydraulic fluid to check, and fewer complex components, the Ecolift WR is virtually maintenance-free, offering extremely low running costs and maximizing uptime.
• Robust & Durable Construction: Built from high-quality steel and components, designed for years of reliable outdoor service in demanding professional environments.
• ATEX Certified Option: The "Ecolift X" variant can be ATEX certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Zones 1 and 21), further expanding its utility in specialized industrial environments.
• IPAF Category PAV (Push Around Vertical) Compliant: Operators should receive appropriate training for safe use.

Applications

The Ecolift Wind Rated is an ideal access solution for numerous outdoor tasks, especially where traditional powered options are impractical or undesirable:

• Exterior Building Maintenance: Facade inspections, window cleaning, gutter maintenance, and minor repairs on building exteriors.
• Light Construction & Finishing: Working on ground-level building sections, formwork, rebar, foundation walls, and other construction tasks where low-level access is required before power is established.
• Landscaping & Arboriculture: Light tree trimming, hedge cutting, and access for garden maintenance where silence and no ground impact are important.
• Outdoor Events & Venues: Setting up temporary structures, signage, lighting, and displays in outdoor spaces.
• Facilities Management: Maintenance in outdoor areas of commercial and public buildings, parks, and recreational facilities.
• Industrial Environments: Access in outdoor industrial yards, particularly for ATEX-rated models in hazardous zones.
• Heritage Sites: Access for conservation and maintenance work where preserving historical structures and minimizing disruption are critical.
