A ladder is often the method of choice for repair work, although it carries a high risk of accidents. Almost half of all fall accidents among those insured with BG Bau occur in connection with portable ladders. Be it through slipping, slipping away or loss of balance. Almost every 15th ladder accident results in serious injuries or even fatalities, according to the results of a study by BG Bau.
Cut your costs in half and increase security
A more effective and efficient alternative to the ladder is the indoor lift, which can be used at lower working heights under 5 meters. Indoor lifts such as the Pecolift IL 3,5 or the Nano IL 4,5 Row, can be pushed quickly to their place of use and easily fit through narrow doors and in narrow aisles. Thanks to heavy-duty castors with automatic braking, the operator stands much safer on the platform than on a ladder. He also has more space to work, as well as storage space for materials and tools. While he has to hold on to a ladder, the operator has both hands free on an indoor lift. This means that he can carry out more complicated activities than on a ladder and at the same time has more strength, as he does not have to climb up first, but only have to get on.
Devices such as the Nano IL 4,5 A Plus have a platform extension that offers additional reach and can therefore also reach over obstacles. You can easily get over shelves and cupboards. The use of indoor lifts is also due to the higher load-bearing capacity compared to most ladders. They are also easy to maneuver and can be moved and used independently without the help of another person, while ladders often require a second person to hold onto. Indoor lifts are lightweights and can be transported in a passenger elevator. Since they are equipped with non-marking tires, they can also be used on sensitive floors. With the extremely low maintenance costs, the purchase of an indoor lift quickly pays off.
Environmentally friendly and time-saving
Those who want to forego the use of raw materials completely can opt for the environmentally friendly and hand-operated indoor lifts, such as the Ecolift IL 4,2 or Pecolift IL 3,5 decide. They manage completely without electricity, batteries and oil and are operated manually. You can step on steplessly within 11 seconds and do your work at a height of up to 4,20 m. These eco devices are mainly used in larger residential units, hospitals, retirement homes and schools. Speaking of time and resources. Most of the work can be done in the same time or less than with a ladder using an indoor lift. This means that the use of indoor lifts is simply more efficient.
Health protection in the workplace
The design of the lifts also increases productivity and is primarily geared towards maintaining the health of users. The devices are ergonomically built in such a way that operators can carry out their work comfortably even over a longer period of time. The indoor lift manufacturer Power Towers (JLG) regularly tests, under the guidance of ergonomists, the effect of the forces that act on known stress points of the human musculoskeletal system. The tests are carried out using the latest biomechanics, motion detection and muscle sensor technology. The aim is to develop optimal solutions that minimize these forces, avoid unhealthy posture and the associated health problems, and ensure sustainable employment of employees and maintain their workforce.
Numerous possible uses
Whether for maintenance, cleaning, renovation, warehouse logistics, housing construction, painting or other areas of activity - indoor lifts are versatile and an excellent, safe and economically viable alternative to ladders.
