Safety and Efficiency
Ladders are dangerous. But did you know they are also inefficient?
Our fleet of Micro Elevating Work Platforms (ie. MEWPs) make work safer while improving on-the-job efficiency. And let’s face it: larger lifts aren’t always the best choice (for instance in highrise fit-outs). And large drivable lifts can be responsible for damage done to finished work.

EFFICIENCIES & COST SAVINGS of Micro Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs)
- MEWPs are 3 times more productive than other access equipment
- MEWPs have fewer maintenance problems than other access equipment
- MEWPs provide the lowest repair costs when compared to all other access solutions
- MEWPs are less likely to be abused by the workforce – restricting behavior choices, potentially less supervision needed than other access equipment
- MEWPs currently occupy only 14% of the cost of repair to access equipment

Needing something that could withstand scrutiny Mulholland employed method and theory from ESCP-EAP School of management Consulting and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) “Process Charts – First steps in Finding the One Best Way”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
What impresses me the most about Low-Level Access is their drive and desire to innovate and tackle challenges head on. We struggled with contractors safely and correctly erecting scaffolding systems; the Low-Level Access team brought the game changing MiTower to the table. We identified with our drywall contracting partners the physical abuse their crews were putting on their bodies, and Low-Level Access shows up with a scissors lift that does all the heavy lifting for them. Plain and simple, Low-Level Access is a partner that listens and focuses on the need, not just pushing a product.

Our company doesn’t like ladders… period. We have always recommended the use of lifts, scissor or boom. When I first saw the Low-Level Access system, I thought it was one of the best new inventions I had ever seen. Lightweight, maneuverable, easy to relocate, non-electric, and very easy to use.
It’s such a no-brainer, it would be difficult to find a reason not to use it.
When we fitted out our main office at the MetLife building midtown Manhattan, we rented 20 lifts. Two different sizes. Our guys and the trades loved them. No more hole in walls when transporting.
When purchasing new contractors the use of this equipment should be written into the contracts. Once good reliable trades use this product they will never go back to extension ladders or big bulky scissor lifts.
