LIFTMAN™
An ATEC compliant motorized and mobile pneumatic man lift, or personnel access platform, for smaller preparation booths and spray booths...

For work on high-sided vehicles — at any height or position — scaffolds and ladders are still the most common access systems.
Purpose-designed LIFTMAN provides increased safety for operators while significantly improving both efficiency and surface-treatment quality.
The easy-to-manoeuvre LIFTMAN access platform is a highly effective way to provide safe, comfortable working conditions almost everywhere ladders or scaffolding are normally used — provided the work area has a reasonably smooth floor and a supply of compressed air.
LIFTMAN is steered from the operator’s cage — it can be driven around the vehicle being sprayed, regardless of the cage’s height above the floor.
Paint, mask, add signs, apply decals, or make repairs on high-sided vehicles with greater speed and safety than normally attainable using stepladders or scaffolding.
The small footprint of LIFTMAN reduces congestion in spray booths and other confined work areas, and eliminates workplace obstructions caused by the use of conventional access equipment.
Because LIFTMAN is powered only by compressed air, it is safe to use in hazardous environments such as spray booths.
LIFTMAN provides a highly efficient way to work. It significantly increases job safety and productivity — at low maintenance and operating costs.
