Universal Aerial Platforms has taken delivery of a new Spider FS290 from Danish based supplier Worldlift Industries.

The machine based at the company’s Basildon depot is specially designed for in or outside maintenance work in tall buildings with narrow access and limited floor space.

These machines are specifically used in areas requiring, compact, flexible high reach machinery, making it possible to operate in places where other platform types fail.

Its key features are:-


  • Low weight - can be used where low floor loadings are vital

  • Automatic outriggers
  • A Honda Super Silent engine preserves battery life and enables the machine to travel long distances

  • Removable second set of drive wheels for further low ground pressure reduction

  • Optional narrow cage

  • Spacious two man rotating cage

  • Up to a 14m outreach

  • Double jib arm
  • Minimum width of 0.80m - can be taken through a standard doorway

  • Infinitely variable jacking options

  • Tri energy fuel. Battery, Mains or Petrol

The FS90 also employs the latest technology in control systems providing incredibly smooth operation which provides the operator with speed, usability and safety.

With further machines on order from Worldlift Universals narrow access fleet is set to become the largest and most versatile in the country.
