PowerLift vs. Ladders: What You Need to Know
Height-related tasks demand more than just reach—they require safety, efficiency, and adaptability. Whether you’re maintaining lighting in a theater, servicing HVAC systems in a school, or handling facility upkeep in a commercial building, the right lifting solution can make all the difference.
Enter the ReechCraft PowerLift: a modern alternative to traditional ladders. But how does it really stack up?
The Problem with Ladders
Ladders have long been the go-to tools for working at height. However, they come with limitations:
Safety Risks
- Falls are one of the most common injuries associated with ladder use.
- Ladders offer limited stability, especially on uneven surfaces or when used improperly.
- There’s no fall protection—ladders don’t have guardrails or harness systems.
Limited Accessibility
- Ladders require good balance and strength to avoid injury or death.
- Carrying tools or materials while climbing is difficult and dangerous.
Regulatory Limitations
- Many safety regulations (like OSHA) restrict ladder use for certain tasks or heights.
