Case Study: Protecting a Hire MEWP from Paint Overspray in Rotherham

Location: Rotherham
Machine: Hired low‑level MEWP
MEWPMate Installed: 2 Weeks
Industry: Fire Protection Coatings

Challenge

Paint overspray is one of the most common and costly forms of damage to hire MEWPs. Cleaning charges, downtime and even full recoating fees can be passed directly to the contractor.

Solution

A MEWPMate protection system was fitted to the platform area before work began. The goal was simple:

• Protect the machine
• Reduce cleaning time
• Avoid hire company charges
• Maintain compliance and site standards

Outcome

Within one week, the MEWPMate was coated in overspray, but the MEWP underneath remained completely protected.

Benefits delivered:

• 100% elimination of cleaning time
• Zero overspray on the machine
• No risk of cleaning or recoating charges
• No downtime or disruption to the programme

Conclusion

This installation demonstrates the real‑world value of MEWPMate. Used for 2 weeks, it prevented what could have been a costly and time‑consuming issue. For contractors working with coatings, fit‑outs, or any environment where overspray or similar is a risk, MEWPMate provides immediate, measurable protection.
