Haulotte, the European leader of people lifting equipment, steps foot into the Low-Level Access equipment segment with not one, but seven models specifically designed for working below a height of 6 meters! Compact and lightweight, they are perfectly suited for space-restricted locations or sensitive flooring. These machines offer enhanced productivity, more convenient working conditions, and provide a safe and effective alternative to ladders and scaffolding.




Three configurations available

More and more countries and companies limit the use of ladders and scaffolding to improve safety and reduce injuries in the workplace. In order to meet their needs, Haulotte is launching a complete line of simple and ergonomic Low-Level Access equipment that offers a safer way to access heights at lower levels. Haulotte’s portfolio includes:

> Vertical masts: the MOVE UP product line is composed of two push-around models (push-around and electric lifting), delivering respectively a maximum working height of 4.6 m and 5.6 m.

> Scissor lifts: the SWIFT UP range is available in a push-around version (working height of 3.8 m or 4.5 m). The self-propelled version (electric drive and elevation) is named SWIFT UP SP and offers a maximum working height of 4.5 m, 5 m or 5.9 m according to the model.

«As a promoter of safe and valuable working at height solutions, we have been following the evolution of this segment of the aerial industry for several years. Today, we are pleased to present a complete range of Low-Level Access lifts, perfectly adapted to our customers’ needs»

says Remi Heidelberger, Marketing Manager at Haulotte. The seven models can be used indoors for maintenance applications, renovation, warehousing or fit out and finishing work.



Low-Level Access, higher productivity

Low-Level Access lifts increase operators’ productivity. They allow work at heights more quickly and efficiently than with mechanical methods, such as ladders and scaffolding.
 
Haulotte low-level platforms allow considerable time-savings
 
MOVE UP, SWIFT UP and SWIFT UP SP models are ready to use in just a few seconds!
 
They require no assembly/disassembly time compared to traditional forms of access and enable users to quickly reach the work area. Self-propelled models can move while raised, allowing quicker movement to the next task.
 
Easily transportable, the equipment can be loaded directly into a van or pick-up truck using the dedicated forklift pockets.

Low-Level Access solutions are perfect for space and weight-restricted applications

With a small footprint, Low-Level Access equipment suits all indoor projects. Their compact size (max. width 75 cm) makes it easy to navigate through confined spaces, such as narrow store aisles, data centers, open-plan offices, or warehouses, without damaging the working environment.
 
Their narrow turning radius allows tight maneuvers without difficulty. They easily fit into elevators and pass comfortably through a standard single doorway.
 
Haulotte’s Low-Level Access range is designed to work in low floor-load areas such as hotels, gymnasiums, and theatres. Lightweight and equipped with non-marking wheels, they are perfectly adapted to sensitive floors, such as carpet, wood floor, marble, tiles...




Increased efficiency when working at height

Low-Level Access equipment provides ample room for the user and makes it easier to carry tools or materials to the work area. The robust platform can carry a load from 159 to 240 kg depending on the model, which helps limit the number of trips back and forth.
 
Its outstanding stability allows a 360˚ range of motion. Users can work confidently using both hands, unlike ladders for which 3 points of contact are necessary to work safely, leaving only one free hand to perform a task...




Low-Level Access, higher comfort

 
Ergonomic and intuitive, Haulotte’s line of low-level access equipment offers easy operation. It not only improves productivity, but also operator well-being and safety while working at height. Haulotte Low-Level Access range is designed with user convenience in mind:  

> By providing an ergonomic working position, low-level access platforms help lower the risk for musculoskeletal disorders at the work site.
> The equipment avoids wasteful and exhausting motion: it reduces the worker fatigue associated with repeti tive climbing up and down.
> It also ensures that the operator is always working at the right height.
 
Low-level equipment makes the job site safer
Low-Level Access lifts provide the operator with added safety and confidence while working at height. Their stable, anti-slip and fully guarded platform reduces the risk of injury and falls. The wheel lock system prevents unintentional movement while the worker is on the platform and the tilt sensor alarm ensures safe lifting.
