SPIDER AERIAL PLATFORMS

What is a spider aerial platform and what is it used for?

“Spider” aerial platforms are a particular type of PLE (Elevating Work Platforms) which owe their name to the four stabilizers, which, once deployed, resemble the appearance of a spider’s legs.
These machines, also called “spiders lift”, are used for the aerial lifting of people and materials. The Mollo rental park offers models of spider aerial platforms capable of operating at maximum heights of between 13 and 52 metres.

The main functions and advantages of spider aerial platforms are:

• Versatility and accessibility: Thanks to their compact dimensions, spider lifts can in fact reach the workplace passing through very narrow spaces (for example gates and doors) where larger vehicles, such as self-propelled or bucket trucks, could not reach.
• Safety and stability: The four stabilizers reduce the pressure exerted on the ground, making them also suitable for fragile surfaces such as floors, steps and light screeds.
• Reduced environmental impact: The electrical power supply allows you to work in closed or sensitive environments (health facilities, food industries, green areas, historic centres, etc.) without polluting emissions and with low noise levels.
• Wide applicability: They are used in numerous sectors, including large works and infrastructures, shipbuilding, construction, industrial plant engineering and maintenance, installations, displays and live events, maintenance and care of greenery and urban redevelopment.

What do you need to use a spider aerial platform?

In order to operate the aerial platform, according to Legislative Decree 81/2008 on safety at work, a specific qualification is required, usually called a ple licence. This qualification can also be obtained with our dedicated training courses, which provide instructions on the safety, correct use and maneuvering procedures of these vehicles.
If you do not have this qualification, you can opt for the wet hire, a type of service that involves a specialised operator who manages the platform during use, offering professional support and guaranteeing maximum safety.

How much does it cost to rent a spider platform?

The cost of renting a spider platform can vary considerably based on various factors, such as the model, the overall duration of the rental, or whether you opt for wet or dry rental (with or without an operator respectively).
