MEWP Operator Certification FAQ

Yes – all three are the same. Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) have may names and have changed from Elevated Work Platforms to Aerial Work Platforms, and then finally to MEWPs.

MEWPs includes not just aerial lifts like boom lifts, but also scissor lifts as well. MEWP is the new regulatory term used by OSHA, ANSI, and CSA.

Which MEWP aerial lifts are covered by this training?

The MEWP Training and Certification covers all of the following lifts:

Articulating boom lift (also called a knuckle boom)
Telescopic boom lift (also called a cherry picker)
Scissor lifts
Vertical mast lifts
Sky jacks
Genie booms (and all other brands of booms)
And many more. Not sure if your lift is covered? Ask our support staff by starting a live chat.
