WALL-MAN®
An ATEX rated pneumatic personnel lift designed for paint spray booths and preparation booths where explosive gases and fumes are present...
For work on high-sided or very long vehicles, trailers, trains, wind turbine blades — at any height or position — scaffolds and ladders are still the most common access systems.
Purpose-designed WALL-MAN provides increased safety for operators while significantly improving efficiency and surface-treatment quality.
Controls in the operator’s cage move WALL-MAN along all three axes, including extending in, out, and around the workpiece in a spray booth. This versatility enables the operator to 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 compact design of WALL-MAN reduces congestion in spray booths and other confined work areas, and eliminates workplace obstructions caused by the use of conventional access equipment.
WALL-MAN is completely wall mounted. The platform’s lower support wheels run along the wall; there is no contact with the floor. WALL-MAN can be installed in new or existing booths, provided the structure can carry the modest loads involved.
Because WALL-MAN is powered only by compressed air, it is safe to use in hazardous environments such as spray booths. The user-friendly platform provides a highly efficient way to work. WALL-MAN significantly increases job safety and productivity - at low maintenance and operating costs.
