Working with a Mobile Elevating Work Platform on or next to a road introduces additional hazards from passing traffic, pedestrians, restricted space and changing road conditions. IPAF’s Street Smart campaign highlights the precautions needed to protect operators, workers on the ground and members of the public when powered access equipment is used near live traffic.
IPAF, the powered access industry’s international member organisation, has gone digital.
From June 2021, IPAF is issuing their PAL cards digitally, rather than as a physical card, via a new app called EPAL.
Powered access hire specialist JMS is making available an interactive online tool to help customers calculate the size of spreader pads needed  when setting up a boom-type powered access machine. The IPAF spreader pad calculator helps customers choose the right spreader pads for each job by considering key factors such as the maximum allowable ground pressure
