Which type of MEWP lift offers protection from electric shock and electrocution?

Insulated lifts are specifically designed to protect operators from electric shock and electrocution when working near or with electrical installations. These lifts feature special non-conductive materials and insulation, which help prevent electrical current from making contact with the operator or the lift itself. This is critical in scenarios where workers may be exposed to high-voltage power lines or electrical equipment.

Articulated lifts, scissor lifts, and telescopic lifts are all useful for various tasks in construction and maintenance, but they do not have the specialized insulation required to provide protection against electrical hazards. Therefore, while they may be used in different applications, only insulated lifts offer the necessary safeguards for handling situations involving electricity.
