Why We’re Doing This
As infrastructure demand grows taller and more complex, the need for aerial work platforms that safely and precisely reach new heights has never been greater. At Blade Platforms, we specialize in truck-mounted Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs), designed for work at heights over 150 feet and up to 336 feet—machines engineered for the toughest, highest-access jobs in utilities, construction, and industrial maintenance.
While many in the industry casually refer to “bucket trucks” to describe a broad range of equipment, Blade’s platforms belong to a distinct class of high-reach aerial work platforms (AWPs), also known as mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). These are purpose-built machines, designed for safety, precision, and operational efficiency at extreme heights—setting a higher standard than older or retrofitted equipment like stick-and-basket-adapted cranes.
Our focus is on delivering equipment that meets the modern demands of expanding electrical grids, towering wind turbines, and complex infrastructure projects—where height, side reach (many models with 90 ft+ reach), and maneuverability are critical. With Blade’s fleet, customers benefit from cutting-edge German engineering that prioritizes durability and ease of use. Our lifts are safely operated by a single skilled operator in the platform cage—optimizing both safety and cost.
Blade Platforms is widely recognized as a leader in aerial access innovation. Our campaign aims to educate the industry on why purpose-built high-reach platforms not only improve safety but also enhance productivity and reduce total costs—helping teams complete projects faster, more efficiently, and with fewer risks.
Recognized industry-wide for prioritizing safety and reliability, Blade’s equipment is precision-engineered in Germany—a hallmark of strength, durability, and innovative design—helping teams perform with greater confidence and control.
In upcoming blog posts, we’ll explore our technology in greater depth, share stories of client success, and discuss how Blade is shaping the future of elevated work platforms. Join us weekly to stay informed and discover how we’re raising the bar in aerial access.
