Bravi Platforms, an Italian company and manufacturer of low-level access platforms, proudly introduces a major innovation: the new Residential 170, the first platform specifically tailored for the residential construction sector.
Residential 170: the revolution of residential jobsites
“The first platform for the residential sector. Designed to replace everything else.”
Residential 170 is the ultimate solution for working safely, quickly, and productively at height in residential environments. It effectively replaces traditional tools such as ladders and scaffolding – still among the most commonly used yet riskiest equipment in residential projects, which account for roughly 33% of the global construction market.
With a platform height of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) and a working height of 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in), this compact unit – just 66 cm (26.2 in) wide, weighing only 360 kg (794 lbs.), and extremely easy to maneuver – is perfectly suited for indoor spaces. It fits effortlessly through bathrooms, storage rooms, and narrow hallways, and can operate safely on delicate floors without risk of damage.
Its push-around mode allows quick repositioning even in areas where electric drive is not feasible, ensuring fast and safe operations in all conditions.
Thanks to its innovative design, Residential 170 boosts productivity, reduces operating times by up to 50%, and cuts the risk of ladder-related accidents by as much as 75%, according to European safety data.
The challenges of residential jobsites are significant: the workforce is aging – with an average age over 47 y.o.- and labor shortages are increasing. Traditional ladders and scaffolding contribute to a high number of falls (25% of accidents in Europe are ladder-related, 10% involve scaffolds) and lead to fatigue, poor posture, and musculoskeletal disorders affecting up to 54% of workers.
Residential 170 addresses these critical issues head-on: designed with operator safety and well-being at its core, it enables individuals to work independently, continuously, and with less strain, reducing repetitive-stress injuries by up to 50% and the overall accident risk by 75%.
This innovation marks a true cultural shift in how work at height is approached, delivering tangible benefits for companies: higher productivity, fewer operational interruptions, and more efficient site management.
Innovation and Safety at the Core of Bravi’s Strategy
“These innovations reflect our ongoing commitment to redefining efficiency and safety standards for working at height,” said Pierino Bravi, CEO of Bravi Platforms. “The new Residential 170 was designed to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding market. Market research conducted by Introspective Market Research confirms that approximately 33% of indoor construction sites worldwide involve residential buildings.”
With this new solution, Bravi Platforms reaffirms its mission: to bring cutting-edge technologies to job sites around the world – technologies that enhance productivity, reduce costs, and, above all, ensure maximum operator safety.
