Bravi Platforms has launched the Residential 170, the first access platform designed specifically for residential construction environments. The platform offers a safer alternative to traditional ladders and scaffolding, which continue to account for a high percentage of falls on residential sites.
With a platform height of 1.7 meters (5 feet, 7 inches) and a working height of 3.7 meters (12 feet, 2 inches), the Residential 170 is compact and highly maneuverable. It measures 66 centimeters (26.2 inches) wide, weighs 360 kilograms (794 pounds), and can navigate tight indoor spaces such as hallways and bathrooms. Push-around functionality allows workers to reposition the platform quickly, even without an electric drive.
“The first platform for the residential sector. Designed to replace everything else,” Bravi Platforms said, emphasizing its goal to enhance productivity while reducing accidents. European safety statistics indicate that the Residential 170 can lower ladder-related incidents by 75% and reduce repetitive-stress injuries by up to 50%.
The platform is designed to support operators’ well-being, allowing independent, continuous work with less physical strain. Pierino Bravi, CEO of Bravi Platforms, said, “These innovations reflect our ongoing commitment to redefining efficiency and safety standards for working at height.” The Residential 170 is intended to increase efficiency on residential job sites while maintaining maximum safety for operators.
