ST-18 Electric Powered Work Cage

ST-18 Electric Powered Work Cage

With the capability for multiple point attachments and making various configurations without overlapping platforms, the ST-18 is a versatile tool for restoration and maintenance contractors. The ST-18 is UL listed and meets and/or exceeds current OSHA and ANSI requirements.

A self-contained, single line unit, the ST-18 features a working swath of 8 ft (2.4 m). Adding flydecks enlarges the ST-18 to 14 ft (4.3 m), accommodating two workers to double productivity. Contractors can add modular platforms or plank sections between two ST-18s to form a double line suspended scaffold. With modular sections, workers can quickly connect sections without special tools to create a maximum reachable working swath of 56 or 62 ft (17.1 or 18.9 m) with flydecks attached. The unit comes equipped with numerous safety devices to ensure safe operation.

Technical service and local product support are available from factory trained representatives in 24 company-owned branches throughout North America and through dealers worldwide.
