Mobile Elevating Work Platform

The SVRSevern Valley Railway acquired this Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWPMobile elevating work platform) in November 2020. It is manufactured by Platform Basket, one of the largest aerial platform manufacturers in Italy.

Its EVN/RIV number is 99709 942098-3. The previous owners were Promax Access and it carried the Fleet Number 008.[1]

The MEWPMobile elevating work platform has road-rail capability. It is mainly used by the S&TSignals & Telegraph Dept for signal post access. The replacement of the Bewdley South wooden bracket signal in October 2020 involved the hire of a MEWPMobile elevating work platform which, it was reported, "...was invaluable as it allowed us to do all the necessary work without having to climb any signal ladders".[2] The SVRSevern Valley Railway acquired its own MEWPMobile elevating work platform the following month.

The picture below shows the MEWPMobile elevating work platform in use at Kidderminster in May 2021. Also visible is the old Kidderminster Footbridge which was replaced during 2022.
