JLG Industries has announced that its LiftPod personal and portable lift is now available in Canada, following the approval from the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC). The manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers, says its LiftPod meets the requirements for CSA standard B354.1. The JLG LiftPod reaches a 14-foot working height and is operated using a 18-volt cordless drill or optional power pack. At 25 percent the cost and weight of traditional work platforms, the LiftPod is a lightweight tool that can be used for a variety of maintenance, renovation and repair jobs in almost any building type. A single person can assemble the LiftPod in less than 30 seconds, and it stows in the back of a pick-up truck, van or SUV for convenient site-to-site transportation. CSA’s B354.1 standard calls for self-propelled elevating work platforms to meet specific strength and stability requirements, including passing specific horizontal and vertical load tests. To meet CSA requirements, the LiftPod is also equipped with an alarm for use during descent, as well as redundant ropes and a brake to protect against free descent in the event of a rope failure.
