The FALCON SPIDER is based on nearly 40 years of development and manufacture of aerial
access platforms. The concept was invented in the 1970’s by the company WORLDLIFT
INDUSTRIES AS (former E. Falck Schmidt A/S) and introduced to the market in the beginning of the
80’s, and since then delivered for various applications all over the world.
The FALCON SPIDER is produced in working heights from 14 m to 55 m (highest compact
platform in the world). All models are specially designed for maintenance work in tall buildings
with narrow access and limited floor space, which requires a compact, flexible and high-reaching
platform.
Key performances like: Compact design, flexibility, reliability, low weight, high reach and
maximum safety are all features that experienced users all over the world value every day. New
features such as the double jibarm system, automatic setting up, raising/lowereing of the outriggers,
and driving the FALCON SPIDER from the basket, are all added features to make the use of the
FALCON SPIDER even quicker, and more user friendly than ever before.
