Environmental impacts can be minimized:

  • Turning off the Powerpack when the Self Elevating Platform is not jacking up or down (floating and standing conditions);
  • Checking pipes, hoses and fittings for leakages and damages at regular intervals, and having any damage repaired immediately;
  • Performing maintenance according to the HPU manual;
  • Proper waste segregation of the replaced components;
  • Having a oils spill kit always immediately available.
