GET, LLC is always on the look-out for the latest
technologies to assist on the aerial lift job site. Taking items to height is challenging,
especially when the limits of the scissor, boom or other aerial work platforms are already pushed to the
limit with on-board operators and their respective tools of the trade. From the other side of the pond, there is a
new accessory for scissor lifts that may change the way professionals work at
height and shorten those hours getting supplies to that challenging area on a
project site.
South East England's Aerial and Handling Services has launched
its new DRXmulti materials handling attachment for scissor lifts. The Small Dole, UK-based sales and rental company rolled
out the DRXmulti, which can be installed on every make and model of scissor
lift, including low level access platforms such as Pop-Ups or Power Towers.
“Naturally we’re hoping this will be a very successful
product, having taken us almost a year and a large investment to design and
finish it ready for commercial sale," said Director of Aerial and Handling
Services Ian Harding. "Everyone at AHS has been involved with the project,
whether it was hands on design or a group collective when troubleshooting, and
together we have all been responsible for the final product - it’s been much
more than just blood sweat and tears!”
Weighting just 31 pounds, the fully CE approved (European
Conformity) DRXmulti device can be setup in under five minutes and removed in
less than a minute. It requires no drilling and can be singularly, dual or
triple mounted if required.
Once installed it can also be quickly reconfigured
as pipe/rebar rack or a board carrier by simply swapping the jaws for clamps
and adding board cups.
A number of London based construction firms are already using
them on projects-including one that is using the DRXmulti to support concrete
reinforcing bars with help of a scissor lift to provide a safe and efficient
method of positioning the rebar during the building of a curtain wall. Let's
see if this innovative product will make it out to the Pacific Rim on the
complex projects that are taking place here over the course of the next decade
or so.
