Bravi goes smaller

Low level aerial lift manufacturer Bravisol has introduced a new ultra lightweight push-around lift called the Spin-Go.

Based on the company’s popular Caddy self-propelled stock picking lift, the Spin-Go offers a platform height of 7.2ft for a working height of 4.2 metres, yet weighs just 230kg all up.

The Spin-Go is easy to push - a brake release button is built in to the push rails

The compact and attractive unit is just 1,155 mm long by 730mm wide and has a stowed height of 1,500mm. Importantly for this market which includes applications such as retail, offices and schools etc… the platform entry height is just 363mm an easy step in. Once in the platform the controls could not be simpler – up or down. Platform capacity is 130kg with a further 90kg on the material shelf/tray and 112kg can be place on a chassis storage tray.

The Spin-Go is targeted at smaller retail establishments, offices and schools etc...

Bravi says that a number of its major retail customers for the Caddy asked for a product that was smaller, simpler and perhaps most importantly less expensive, in order to help them introduce the powered access concept to smaller stores and to help them to eliminate ladders and steps from their premises completely.

The Spin-Go – Spingo = Italian for I push – features an adjustable parcel shelf which levels with the top of the mast when fully raised, making it easy to load heavier boxes. Braking is automatically on at all times, there is a spring loaded button built into the push handles which releases the brakes when pushing. For faster moves fork pockets are built in.

Vertikal Comment

This looks like an excellent new product which will certainly appeal to locations where aesthetics are important. The Spin-Go does not look like a piece of industrial equipment, it is also so simple to use that few if any are likely to feel intimidated by it. In fact the only potential users who might be put off are those with a fear of heights, but then they would not have used a ladder either.

This is a valuable addition to the growing range of powered access products for lower level work. As more people become used to using powered access for lower level working at height, the easier it will be to spread the word to those working in the critical four to eight metre working heights where people still make do…. Or use inappropriate access equipment in spite of the grave danger they face should then fall.
