1. Task Frequency vs Elevation Reach
Choose EN 131-7 mobile warehouse platforms (SerDeck SPP-R / SPP-EN) when operators climb up and down dozens of times per hour carrying boxes with both hands along narrow racking aisles.
Choose EN 1004-1 mobile scaffold towers (SerTube / SerUltra) when work exceeds 5.5 m working height or requires long-duration ceiling, HVAC, cladding, or sprinkler installation.
