Blade Platforms fleet of aerial work platform vehicles and machines provides a safe and convenient option to transmission lineman and workers throughout North America. Blade's wide variety of machines enables safe access to the thousands of transmission networks throughout the US and Canada.

The work done in the transmission and distribution industry is extremely important yet dangerous if not done properly. For this reason, we are IPAF certified, meaning we use our machines with the strictest and safest guidelines around. Whether it be updating a power line or repairing a transmission structure, the Blade Platforms array of aerial work platforms can get the job done the right way.
Over the last 30 years we have proven in Europe that MEWPs/AWPs are the safest and most efficient way of aerial height access. Since 2009 this concept is finally available here in the US. We have transformed the aerial lift industry by owning, leasing, and operating a reliable fleet of MEWPs/AWPs in North America. Our fleet consists of top-of-the-line truck-mounted aerial platforms ranging from 108 feet to 336 feet.
By combining safe working loads up to 880lbs (400kg) with outreach capabilities up-to 55ft (17m) and maximum working heights of 170ft (52m) these versatile machines can offer a solution to working at height in the most challenging of environments.
With a wide range of lifting attachments our aerial platforms can be used across a wide range of industry sectors to provide a cost-effective solution to working at height that allows work to be carried out quickly and efficiently while minimizing disruption.
Blade Platforms’ fleet of boom trucks is the most extensive in North America, ranging from 157 ft. to 336 ft. in height.
