What qualifications are needed to operate a spider MEWP?
Expert Answer
In the UK, you generally need an IPAF Category 1b (Static Boom) licence. Most professional construction sites and insurance providers require this certification. It ensures the operator knows exactly how to stabilise the unit and handle emergency lowering procedures correctly.
