With each device only weighing 14 kgs each, the unique trademarked fully CE approved and compliant system is a genuine first of its kind, the benchmark for quality and innovation. There is no other product available that can provide the same level of support, durability or options for use.

This brand new device has been steadily developed, trialed and tested until we were confident that it could perform as we intended, the results are astonishing, even more than we had envisaged!

DRXmulti® has been designed to fit on EVERY CURRENT make/model scissor lift type MEWP in production, including Low Level access, such as the Pop-Up or Power Tower, right up to the larger Rough Terrain type MEWPS. It can be fitted singularly, dual, or even triple mounted if required. The only limiting factor being the suitability of materials that need to be carried and the rated load of the MEWP onto which you are mounting it.
