IPAF Construction Hoist Training
When people and materials need to be transported vertically, construction hoists are used. They are utilised in a wide range of industries and have long proven to be the most cost and time-effective way of transporting loads to great heights or below ground. Operator training in the use of these hoists is essential for the safety of everyone on site.
IPAF Mast Climber Work Platform (MCWP) Training
Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) are one of the most popular kinds of elevated work access platforms and are most commonly used in the construction industry. Here, they are put to use as temporary working places, giving variable height access to certain areas of structures above ground level.
Benefits of Use
Both CHs and MCWPs allow for greater efficiency on site, whether that is when transporting people and goods vertically or working on the façade of buildings. Having them in place and used safely allows for greater flexibility and will help you to manage time more effectively – allowing you to deliver projects on time, every time. That’s why MCWP and Construction Hoist training is vital! Here’s everything you need to know about the training we offer:
