The LiftPod® from JLG Industries, McConnelsburg, Pa., is now available in Canada following recent approval from the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC). The LiftPod reaches a 14-ft. working height and is operated using an 18V cordless drill or optional power pack.

The LiftPod meets the requirements for CSA standard B354.1, which calls for self-propelled elevating work platforms to meet specific strength and stability requirements, including passing specific horizontal and vertical load tests. To meet the CSA standard, the LiftPod also is equipped with an alarm for use during descent, as well as redundant ropes and a brake to protect against free descent in the event of a rope failure. The optional power pack has been tested and evaluated and meets ULC certification.

JLG says one person can assemble the LiftPod in less than 30 seconds and that it can be stowed in the back of a pickup truck, van or SUV.
