How to Utilize the Manlift
A manlift is a particular kind of machine used to hoist an individual on a platform to reach a high up place.

These kinds of industrial machine could be very handy for doing tasks that are out of reach. As with any kind of equipment, the safety risks should be considered.
Proper training needs to be completed prior to using the lift. It is a much greater possibility for an accident to potentially happen if the training has not been performed properly.

The lift has to be placed on a surface that is level in order for it not to accidentally tip over and cause a fall. Steep slopes have to be avoided which exceed any restrictions specified by the manufacturer. For additional safety, it is suggested that the brakes are set, even if the machinery is resting on a level slope.
