Where PTH281 Gets Used

PTH281’s 14m outreach is handy when the truck needs to be a distance away from the work face, eg you need to stay away from a branch drop zone, or park on the kerb and reach over an obstacle to a building.
It regularly gets used for:

  • Tree pruning and arborist work on suburban properties
  • Commercial and residential painting on taller homes and low-rise buildings
  • Electrical, lighting and telecommunications work
  • Signage installation, repairs and shopfront maintenance
  • Building maintenance, cladding and facade work
  • Roofing, guttering and waterproofing jobs

The Isuzu 4x2 chassis keeps PTH281 compact for a 28m machine, but it is still a truck-mounted EWP. We will confirm access, ground conditions, overhead clearance and outrigger space before the job so the machine is right for the site.

PTH281 Safety and Compliance

PTH281 has a 28m working height, so it requires a WP class High Risk Work Licence to operate. With wet hire, our qualified operator takes care of the machine operation. Before arriving on site, the machine is fully serviced and compliance-ready, with current inspection and service records. On the day, safe operation still relies on proper site planning. That includes checking ground conditions, allowing enough space for the 3.8m x 3.8m outrigger spread, identifying overhead hazards and keeping the work area clear.

Wet Hire - Licensed Operator Included

PTH281 is supplied on wet hire, meaning the machine comes with one of our experienced, licensed operators. That suits jobs where your crew needs to focus on the task in the basket, rather than operating the EWP. It is also the straightforward option where no one on site holds the required High Risk Work Licence. A wet hire operator can position and operate the machine safely, work through the site setup and keep the job moving. Tell us what you are working on, where the truck needs to park and what is between the truck and the work area. We will help work out whether PTH281 has the reach and working envelope you need.

PTH281 Hire FAQs

PTH281 has a maximum working height of 28 metres. Working height includes the operator’s reach from the platform, while the platform itself sits lower.

PTH281 has up to 14 metres of horizontal outreach. This is useful where the truck needs to remain back from the building, tree, sign or work area.

The basket capacity is 350kg, including people, tools and materials. It can carry up to three people, provided the total load stays within the rated capacity.

No. PTH281 is supplied on wet hire with a licensed operator. This gives you the right person on the controls for a 28m EWP while your team concentrates on the work.

For a 28m truck-mounted EWP, PTH281 is a compact option. The truck is 2.0m wide, 7.6m long and 2.5m high when travelling. It still needs suitable access, firm ground and enough space for its outriggers, so send through site photos or give us a call before booking.

PTH281 is mounted on an Isuzu 4x2 chassis, so it is best suited to firm, accessible ground such as streets, driveways and established worksites. For rougher terrain, steep access or soft ground, ask us about a 4x4 truck or spider lift instead.
