What is a PowerLift?
The PowerLift is an ultra-light and strong push-around lift. It’s the most portable powered lift available for indoor use.
What is PowerTrak™ Technology?

Is the PowerLift an aerial work platform (AWP)?
Yes, the PowerLift is a type of AWP and a type of Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP), meeting the respective standards for that category of equipment in the various markets ReechCraft serves.

A manual crank is provided inside the basket to manually lower the unit. It is recommended to keep an extra battery while operating the PowerLift.

PowerLift performs perfectly! We had a major client invite us to a trial along with other Aerial Work Platforms. PowerLift performed perfectly with 27 “solves” out of 27 tests. No other AWP at any price performed as well.
