When it comes to working at heights, safety, efficiency, and reliability are paramount. That's where Levels Above comes in. We specialise in providing state-of-the-art powered access equipment for commercial and domestic development projects. From scissor lifts and cherry pickers to vehicle-mounted booms and mast booms, our extensive range of equipment is designed to meet your every need, ensuring that no job is out of reach.

What is Powered Access?

Powered access refers to machinery that enables safe access to hard-to-reach areas, particularly at height, through the use of a motorised lifting mechanism. These platforms are powered by electricity, diesel, or other fuel sources and offer a safe, efficient alternative to traditional access methods like ladders or scaffolding. Whether you’re carrying out a long-term construction project or a one-off maintenance task, powered access allows you to move up, down, and around quickly, safely, and with the tools you need.

At Levels Above, we provide a wide range of powered access equipment suited for both indoor and outdoor applications. Whether you're tackling domestic tasks like gutter cleaning or large-scale commercial projects, we have the right solution for you.

• Scissor Lifts

  A popular choice for many access needs, scissor lifts provide stable, vertical elevation. The lift mechanism is made up of cross-linked supports that extend like an accordion to raise the platform smoothly.

  • Electric Scissor Lifts Ideal for indoor tasks, these lifts run on batteries, making them emission-free and quiet—perfect for sensitive environments such as offices or hospitals.
  • Diesel Scissor Lifts Best suited for outdoor use, diesel lifts are rugged and powerful, making them ideal for uneven terrain and windy conditions. They offer greater range and durability for heavy-duty tasks like building maintenance or construction work.

• Boom Lifts

  Boom lifts, also known as cherry pickers or aerial work platforms, are designed for tasks that require both height and reach. These lifts are equipped with extendable arms, allowing operators to access hard-to-reach areas with greater flexibility.

  • Telescopic Boom Lifts Offer straight, direct access to elevated points, perfect for tasks like window cleaning or electrical repairs.
  • Articulating Boom Lifts Provide multi-directional movement, making them suitable for jobs where obstacles like walls or barriers must be navigated. These are a go-to for industries such as film production and facility management.

• Spider Lifts

  For jobs that involve difficult terrain or restricted access, spider lifts are the perfect solution. With their track-mounted or spider-leg configurations, these machines can handle slopes, rough ground, and even delicate indoor surfaces without damaging them.

  • Spider Lifts Excelling in arboriculture, building inspections, and maintenance tasks in tricky environments where standard lifts might struggle.

• Mast Lifts

  Mast lifts, sometimes called personnel lifts, are compact machines designed to elevate workers in tight spaces. With a straightforward vertical reach, they’re perfect for jobs that require precision but not extensive horizontal movement.

  • Vertical Mast Lifts Commonly used for stock picking, light maintenance, or installations in places like warehouses or retail settings.
