JLG’s Power Towers division has launched a board and pipe carrying accessory for its Power Tower and Power Tower Duo low-level access platforms, aimed at helping operators handle materials during work at heights of up to five metres.

The attachment includes a ledge for plasterboard sheets up to 75kg and a handrail-mounted rack for items such as pipe, threaded rod or strut up to 45kg. It can be fitted to both models, with a fold away board tray intended to maintain access through standard doorways.

Andrew Menham, senior business development manager for Europe said: “Efficiency is critical in construction fit-out operations, and people working at height will often struggle with lifting larger, bulky items such as sheets of plasterboard or pipes, even when using an electric access platform. That’s why we have designed a board and pipe carrying accessory, to help make those tasks simpler and support workers to adhere to safety best practices.”
Other new options from the company include an anti-climb grate - designed to discourage operators from standing on the guardrails to gain extra height - and a compact confined space basket option, the Power Tower CS, intended to allow the full cage to be used more easily in restricted spaces.
