POWER TOWER 5.1 WORKING HEIGHT

Power Tower PTE51 Push Work Platform: Safe & Efficient Low-Level Access

The Power Tower PTE51 is a revolutionary low-level access solution that combines exceptional portability with superior safety and efficiency. Engineered for ease of use and maximum versatility, this manually pushed work platform is the perfect tool for a wide range of tasks in commercial, institutional, and industrial settings, where quiet operation and minimal disruption are paramount.

Features

• 5.10m (16 ft 9 in) Max. Working Height: Provides a practical and safe working height for common low-level tasks, including ceiling work, electrical installations, painting, cleaning, and maintenance on shelving or fixtures.
• 3.10m (10 ft 2 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
• Compact & Lightweight Design: With an overall width of just 0.75m (2 ft 6 in) and an unladen weight of approximately 305 kg (672 lbs), the PTE51 is incredibly compact and light. This allows it to easily fit through standard single doorways, into passenger lifts, and navigate narrow corridors and congested areas with ease.
• 250 kg (551 lbs) Platform Capacity: Can safely lift up to 250 kg, accommodating one or two operators along with their essential tools and materials, ensuring productivity at height.
• Electric Power for Lift Function: The lifting and lowering of the platform is powered by a 24V DC battery system. This ensures smooth, quiet, and emission-free operation, making it ideal for indoor use in sensitive environments such as hospitals, schools, offices, retail outlets, and food processing facilities.
  • Long-Lasting Battery: Features efficient power consumption, allowing for numerous lift cycles on a single charge.
  • Integrated Charger: Comes with a built-in automatic multi-voltage charger (typically 110V/240V) for convenient recharging from any standard power outlet.
• Manual Push for Mobility: The platform is designed to be easily pushed and pulled into position by hand. Its robust non-marking castors provide excellent manoeuvrability on smooth, level floors.
• No Outriggers Required: The PTE51's compact footprint and stable design eliminate the need for cumbersome outriggers, simplifying setup and allowing it to be used in very tight spaces without extending its base.
• Enhanced Safety Features:
  • All-Round Guardrails & Self-Closing Gate: Provides a secure working enclosure for the operator.
  • Tilt Sensor & Overload Protection: Automatically prevents operation if the machine is on an unsafe incline (typically around 2 degrees) or if the platform capacity is exceeded, ensuring stability.
  • Emergency Platform Lowering: A manual override allows the platform to be lowered safely in case of a power failure.
  • Emergency Stop Buttons: Located on both the platform and ground control panels for immediate shutdown.
  • Automatic Locking Brakes: Engaging automatically when the platform is raised, ensuring the unit remains static.
  • Pothole Protection: Though a push-around, some models may incorporate features that prevent the platform from lowering rapidly into unexpected floor irregularities.
• Robust & Durable Construction: Built from high-quality steel and components, designed for longevity and resilience in demanding professional environments.
• Intuitive Controls: Simple and clear controls make operation straightforward, minimizing training requirements.

Applications

The Power Tower PTE51 is an excellent solution for a wide variety of low-level access tasks, particularly where compactness, quietness, and ease of use are priorities:

• Commercial & Retail: Stocking shelves, merchandising, signage installation, and general maintenance in shops, supermarkets, and warehouses.
• Facilities Management: Lighting maintenance, ceiling tile replacement, painting, HVAC work, and cleaning in offices, schools, hospitals, leisure centres, and airports.
• Fit-Out & Renovation: Interior finishing work, electrical installations, plumbing, and decorating in new builds or refurbishment projects.
• Sensitive Environments: Ideal for cleanrooms, data centres, food processing plants, and other areas where strict environmental controls (noise, emissions) are required.
• General Maintenance: A safer, more stable, and more productive alternative to traditional ladders and steps for almost any task up to its working height.
