Aerial Work Platform

An aerial work platform (AWP) is a person-lifting device or machine. Most often, power assisted drive and lift functions are controlled by the operator. They are commonly used in maintenance and construction, or where ever a person's work is higher than he or she can reach standing on the ground.

The most common of these is referred to as a scissors lift which are used by construction workers on building sites with high ceilings and walls.

These are also known as cherry pickers and more formally but less commonly, MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms).

One of the most popular manufacturers is Genie.
