New JCB S19 32E 3A Scissor Lift Added to Our IPAF Fleet at our Chesterfield Training Centre
After recently speaking about the addition of a new 3b Mobile Boom to our IPAF training fleet, we're now pleased to announce another investment in our powered access training provision with the arrival of our brand-new JCB S19 32E 3a Mobile Vertical Platform at our Chesterfield training centre.
For anybody unfamiliar with IPAF categories, 3a machines include scissor lifts and other mobile vertical platforms commonly used throughout construction, facilities management, utilities, warehousing, manufacturing and industrial environments. They remain some of the most widely used MEWPs in the UK, making operator competence and familiarisation particularly important.
The new machine has been introduced to support our open IPAF courses, giving delegates access to modern equipment that reflects the type of machinery they are likely to encounter once they return to site. As equipment continues to develop, training providers have a responsibility to ensure delegates are learning on machines that remain relevant to real working environments.
The investment forms part of our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality IPAF training that reflects current industry requirements and supports the safe use of powered access equipment across the industries we serve. This new 3a features a 2 metre higher maximum operating height, and has an electric-driven lift, as opposed to its predecessor which was hydraulic. These better specs mean that the battery life on the MEWP will last longer between chargers, and have more torque, similar to the larger 3a and 3b models you will find on real sites.
From today then, all delegates on our IPAF 3a 3b open course will be using this new JCB 3a alongside our new Sinoboom 3b. We also offer IPAF training on your site on 3a 3b Mobile Boom Platforms, MEWPs for Managers, Safety Harness, Site Assessment, Load and Unload, Pre-Delivery Inspection and MEWP Spotter training, delivered either at customer sites or through our dedicated training centres.
If you're considering IPAF training for your team, or would like to find out more about our open course availability, contact our team or take a look at our open courses at our Chesterfield training centre.
