towable man lift rentals | Lift Group Heavy Equipment
Looking for a compact, mobile solution to lift personnel safely on-site? A towable man lift delivers reach and portability for maintenance, events, and construction tasks where a truck-mounted or self-propelled machine isn't ideal.
What is a towable man lift?
A towable man lift is an aerial work platform mounted on a trailer or towable chassis. It can be towed behind a vehicle, then deployed quickly to raise workers and tools to the required working height.
When to choose a towable man lift
- Limited access sites where larger machines can't maneuver.
- Short-term jobs or one-day events requiring quick setup.
- Jobs needing transport between multiple locations in a day.
- Projects where a compact footprint and easy towing are priorities.
Key features and specifications to evaluate
Typical specs
- Platform height and horizontal outreach (know both working and stowed dimensions).

- Power source: battery, diesel, or hybrid — affects noise and emissions.
- Setup time and stabilization method (outriggers, chocks).
