Roses are red, violets are blue, neglect your MEWP, and it’ll stop working for you!

Love Your MEWP: Why Maintenance Matters

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about showing love to people – it’s also the perfect time to appreciate the equipment that supports your work at height.

Your Versalift MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) is a trusted partner, helping you complete tasks safely and efficiently. Just like any long-term relationship, your MEWP requires care and attention to keep it performing at its best.

Here’s why regular maintenance and genuine spare parts are essential for keeping your equipment in top condition.

The Secret to a Long-Lasting Relationship? Regular MEWP Maintenance

A well-maintained MEWP not only ensures operator safety but also enhances performance and extends the lifespan of your equipment. Here are some key benefits of routine maintenance:

• Enhanced Safety – regular checks help prevent mechanical failures, reducing the risk of accidents.
• Better Performance – well-maintained MEWPs operate smoothly, improving productivity and efficiency (avoiding the relationship drama 😉).
• Lower Repair Costs – identifying issues early prevents costly breakdowns and unplanned downtime.
• Extended Equipment Life – proper care helps avoid premature wear and tear, maximising your investment.

To keep your aerial work platform in peak condition, it’s essential to follow a structured maintenance schedule.

How to Show Your MEWP Some Love

Want to ensure your MEWP stays reliable and ready to perform? Here are three essential maintenance tips:

1. Daily Inspections

Before using your MEWP each day, conduct a pre-use inspection to check for any visible damage, leaks, or operational issues. Look at:

• Hydraulic systems
• Tyres and stabilisers
• Safety controls and emergency stop functions

2. Scheduled Servicing

Follow the manufacturer’s servicing recommendations and book routine inspections with authorised Versalift technicians. Regular servicing ensures that:

• Critical components are checked and replaced as needed
• Safety features function properly
• Your MEWP remains compliant with regulations

3. Use Genuine Spare Parts

Using non-genuine parts might seem like a cost-saving measure, but they can lead to performance issues and safety risks. Genuine Versalift spare parts are:

• Designed specifically for your MEWP model
• Tested for reliability and durability
• Backed by expert support and manufacturer warranties

Whether you need replacement hydraulic components, control systems, or stabilisers, choosing authentic parts ensures:

• Versalift OEM parts are designed to work seamlessly with your machine – the perfect fit and compatibility.
