What is a MCWP?​

MCWPs are elevated work platforms that use a mast to raise and lower the platform. Unlike EWPs they are stationary, and can be free-standing to 20 m, after which they are tied in or anchored to the building to reach heights of over 250m.

A MCWPs unique rack and pinion design allows workers to be positioned at any height, regardless of weather, for jobs such as external maintenance or construction of structures. Not only can they be located at any height, but they can also be fabricated to fit any shaped structure. 

Known for their safety, robust design, and ergonomic working height, mast climbers enhance efficiency by providing a stable movable platform which reduces work time and improves scheduling and sequencing of activities.   ​​
