Q: What is a mast platform?

One Mast platform is a particularly narrow and compact aerial work platform , in which the Lifting mast guided vertically – usually without boom or overhang. It is ideal for Working in confined indoor spaces , e.g. warehouses, production facilities or shopping centers.

Vertical mast platforms – often also known asMast platform,Telescopic mast platformorPassenger liftThese are the first choice when you need to work safely at height in confined spaces—such as halls, technical centers, or event venues. They boast a very small footprint, low weight, and high maneuverability.

Typical areas of application: maintenance, electrical installations, event setup, building cleaning or maintenance in confined spaces.

What exactly is a vertical mast platform?

Vertical mast lifts (also called mast platforms or personnel lifts) are compact aerial work platforms with a vertically extending mast. Many models are self-propelled and can be easily maneuvered even at full height.

Depending on the model, the platform supports between 150 and 250 kg—enough for one person with tools. Working heights are usually between 6 and 12 meters.

Benefits for your projects

Minimal footprint – fits through doors and into elevators
Emission-free thanks to electric drive
Non-abrasive tires – ideal for sensitive floor coverings
Intuitive controls, hardly any instruction required
Low floor load – also suitable for mezzanines
Less effort than scaffolding or ladders

Vertical mast platforms are designed for professionals who want to work productively and safely in the smallest of spaces.

Renting or buying a mast platform – which is better?

Renting is worthwhile if you…

have short-term maintenance work or projects
do not want long-term capital commitment
only have temporary personnel or height requirements
want to remain flexible (different models depending on the application)

Advantages of renting:

No acquisition costs, no maintenance, fast availability, fair daily rates, delivery directly to the construction site.

It's worth buying if you...

regularly work at height
want to manage your own capacities independently
You can use machines in the long term
want to focus on special models (e.g. hybrid, articulated boom, etc.)

Advantages of purchasing:

Predictable operating costs, available at any time, no organizational effort – and calculable through residual value.
