Access Solutions For Film, TV & Media

Broadcast productions often need a range of aerial access and working at height solutions to capture the perfect footage and keep schedules on track. Crews use all types of powered access and mobile elevated work platforms for shoots, including cherry pickers, scissor lifts, and mast lifts. They’re so useful because they provide a safe and solid platform, which you can reposition in a quick and smooth movement, and they’re cost-effective. Due to this, you can use them for scouting and surveying, direction, set construction, rigging, lighting, cameras, screens, signs, and special effects equipment for long days on location.

Scouting, Surveying, Signs & Direction

The access to heights allows you to view the entire set as a whole. With the improved perspective, you can conceptualise the most effective shots, angles, and placement for props and actors. Directors can also use the elevated platform for overseeing performances, and for better clarity when giving instructions.

Cameras, Lighting, Screens & Special Effects Equipment

MEWP cages provide a safe and comfortable location for camera operators undertaking aerial filming. As you can use the guardrails as a mount for equipment, they also provide a steady and secure platform to mount lights, pyrotechnics, screens, monitors, etc.

Why Use Powered Access Solutions?

MWEPs are so versatile because of the options that are available. There are diesel, petrol, hybrid, and electric machines for indoor and outdoor sets and areas. It doesn’t matter if you’re working in a confined environment, on uneven ground, or sensitive flooring. You can use a machine with rough terrain tyres, non-marking tyres, or make use of telescopic or articulating arms to provide up-and-over clearance as a solution.
