Elevating Work Platforms & Installation
Precision-built platforms for controlled and efficient ergonomic pit access.
EWT America designs and installs custom Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs) that integrate directly into new or existing service pits, providing a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional pit covers or open configurations. Each system is engineered to meet site-specific dimensions, operational requirements, and safety standards.
Core platform features and capabilities:
CUSTOM FABRICATION
Platforms are engineered per pit specifications, accommodating unique dimensions, and workspace constraints.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABILITY
Powered by hydraulic cylinder and cable-suspension system, the platform offers variable height control for optimal technician positioning and task-specific access unmatched by traditional hoists which must not be adjusted while a person is under suspended load.
INTEGRATED SAFETY SYSTEMS
Includes dual-switch activation, emergency stop controls, motion alarms, counterbalance valves, and optional pit-edge guards to protect personnel during operation.
REMOTE OPERATION
Handheld remote control allows for precise, user-friendly operation while under the vehicle, with minimal training.
DURABLE MATERIALS
Platforms are engineered per pit specifications with an all-welded steel frame, 10-guage steel deck, and heavy-duty flap and door hinges.
FULL PIT COVERAGE
In the up position, a steel floor with a 2,000 lb load limit covers the pit.
