Platform Basket 18.90 Overview
The Platform Basket 18.90 is a compact tracked spider lift that delivers 18 m working height and around 9 m outreach while still fitting through tight gates and service corridors. Therefore, it suits heritage streets, busy retail parks, and internal atria where space, floor loading, and noise all matter. Moreover, its low ground pressure and non-marking tracks protect finishes, so you can work close to façades and shopfronts without disruption. Consequently, crews reach more elevations in fewer setups and keep programmes on schedule.
Where This 18 m Spider Lift Wins
Many sites restrict width, headroom, or turning circles; accordingly, this platform threads into narrow yards, landscaped courtyards, and plant rooms that defeat conventional booms. In addition, proportional controls and basket rotation allow precise positioning around signage, glazing, gutters, and roof-plant. Meanwhile, the modest outrigger footprint helps maintain pedestrian routes and fire egress, which keeps live environments safe and open.
Power, Setup, and Productivity
You can run electric for clean indoor work; alternatively, switch to diesel outdoors for longer shifts. Furthermore, auto-levelling outriggers speed deployment on uneven ground, and clear ground controls simplify checks. As a result, rig and de-rig times drop, productivity rises, and night works or short access windows become far easier to hit.
Safety, Compliance, and Documentation
Safety sits at the centre. Accordingly, the platform includes anchor points, anti-entrapment protection, and emergency descent systems. We also supply RAMS, inspection tagging, and clean handovers, and we brief teams before lift. If conditions change, we pause, reassess, and update paperwork so compliance remains straightforward.
Method Advice and Alternatives
Not every task needs a spider lift. Therefore, if a small scissor, a short tower, or a truck mount delivers the same outcome faster or cheaper, we will recommend it. Conversely, when tight access, sensitive surfaces, and multiple elevations collide, this machine usually wins on time and cost.
