Elevating Work Platform

A high-risk work licence is required to operate an EWP with a boom over 11 metres in length. The 11-metre boom length is measured as:

  • The vertical distance from the floor of the platform to the surface supporting the elevating work platform with the platform at its maximum height; or
  • The nominal reach, measured horizontally from the centre point of rotation to the outer edge of the platform in its most extended position.
