The key to providing safe working environments at height
Eazi Access is a leading provider of work-at-height and material handling solutions across Africa, offering rental, sales, servicing, and training. With a strict commitment to safety, reliability, and productivity, Eazi Access partners with renowned OEMs, including JLG and Linde Material Handling, to ensure safe and efficient work environments.
Among its range of equipment are aerial lifts, boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers, and low-level access lifts. Collectively known as Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), these machines allow workers to reach inaccessible spaces safely and are available for rental or purchase.
The Benefits of MEWPs
MEWPs are designed to enhance safety, manoeuvrability, and efficiency on both indoor and outdoor sites, reducing the risks associated with traditional climbing and lifting. Their adaptability to different heights and terrains makes them ideal for diverse industries, from warehouses and mines to construction sites and event venues. When customers seek MEWP solutions, Eazi Access conducts a comprehensive assessment, including on-site measurements and evaluations, to recommend the most suitable equipment for each job.
Eazi Access’s MEWP range includes machines that reach up to 58.56 metres, with options suitable for tasks of any scale, from large-scale mining operations to compact warehouse needs.
Commitment to Safety and Training
According to Blaize Wulfsohn, Eazi Access GM: Compliance and Enterprise Risk Management, MEWPs offer benefits that extend beyond safety—they enhance productivity by increasing flexibility and efficiency while advances in technology improve reliability and control. Eazi Access takes pride in offering tailored solutions and professional advice, ensuring that every customer, regardless of industry, receives the right machine for their needs.
Safety compliance includes mandatory training for MEWP operators. Eazi Access’s Uplift Quality Solutions, a specialist training division, provides certified operator training on MEWPs, telescopic boom handlers, forklifts, overhead cranes, and mobile cranes. Customers have the option of training their operators or using trained Eazi Access operators on-site.
Accredited Training Standards
Eazi Access and Uplift Quality Solutions are active members of the Institute for Work at Height (IWH), registered with SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority). The IWH certifies competency in the Work at Height industry, and Uplift Quality Solutions holds accreditation from both the IWH and TETA (Transport Education Training Authority), ensuring high-quality training and the issuance of IWH training certificates. These certificates expedite the onboarding process, allowing trainees to start work immediately after training without delays.
Despite extensive training efforts, Eazi Access recognises the ongoing need for education in the face of newer, advanced MEWP models entering the market. Training remains a crucial element in maintaining safety and productivity, ensuring that operators are fully equipped to handle their equipment safely and effectively.
