A skylift, often referred to as an aerial work platform or boom lift, is a type of specialized equipment used to elevate workers and equipment to perform tasks at height. It typically consists of a platform or bucket attached to an extendable boom, which can be raised, lowered, and maneuvered horizontally to access elevated areas. Skylifts are commonly used in construction, maintenance, painting, installation, and other industries where working at height is required. They provide a safe and efficient alternative to traditional methods such as ladders and scaffolding, allowing workers to access elevated work areas with ease while adhering to safety standards.
