All Smeal platforms have a rating of 1000 lbs. dry or 500 lbs. while flowing water, with no restrictions on this rating. When minimum stabilizer setup requirements have been achieved, the maximum ratings of the platform remain constant, regardless of the elevation, extension, or rotational placement of the aerial. The 100' Mid Mount Platform provides 17.5 square feet of inside working area, and is comprised of an innovative four-section modular platform that allows for cost-effective replacement if any part of it is damaged. The platform's front entry gates open outward to maximize interior work efficiency and can be folded back on double hinges to enable full access. In addition to its many safety features, the 100' Mid Mount Platform also offers a continuous handrail leading from the ladder to the the platform to protects climbers and a strategically positioned repelling arm to allow for safer entrance and exit.
