Elevated Work Platforms

Aries Rail offer a range of hi-rail EWP incorporating Aries Hyrail and Neotec road-rail equipment, compliant with Australian Standards AS7502 and AS1418

The range of elevated work platforms includes:

  • Self-propelled hi-rail EWP with class leading 400kg basket capacity.
  • Truck mounted scissor lifts with rotating and extending platforms.
  • Under-bridge and below ground inspection units.
  • Hybrid crane / EWP units.

Available for use on all Australian rail gauges, machines within the range of hyrail elevated work platforms may be design registered to comply with the regulatory requirements of WorkSafe and WorkCover.

Importantly, by constructing the whole road rail vehicle including EWP and hyrail, Aries Rail are able to ensure that all elements of the machine work together seamlessly and that the hyrail is able to withstand the loads applied by the EWP. Only by doing this is it possible to attain mandatory design registration of the rail EWP.

Neotec SkyRailer 400RR – Self Propelled Road-Rail EWP

Boom type work platforms are also available for a range of road rail trucks and light vehicles. Depending on the application and truck to which the platform is mounted, the following may be achieved:

  • Capacity up to 400kg
  • 360 degree basket rotation on many models
  • Optional fly-boom
  • Up to 10m reach
