Motorized Performance Platform
A.L.P.H.A. · All Purpose Lifting Platformfor Heavy Applications
Engineered for the environments where standard lifting solutions fall short. The A.L.P.H.A. delivers precision, safety, and productivity at heights that demand all three simultaneously.

the Industry Ignored
Every year, construction and industrial workers sustain thousands of injuries directly attributable to manual material handling at elevation. The hazard is not mysterious. It is structural: the tools available to workers have not kept pace with the heights at which modern construction demands they work.
The A.L.P.H.A. Motorized Performance Platform was designed by the field leadership at Franklin Safety Group in direct response to that gap. It is not a rebranded commodity. It is a purpose built engineering solution created by professionals who have personally managed the risks they set out to eliminate.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that overexertion and bodily reaction injuries, which include those caused by manual lifting and lowering, accounted for 23 percent of all nonfatal workplace injuries requiring days away from work in the most recent survey year. The A.L.P.H.A. addresses that exposure directly.
Every Injury Has a
Business Cost
Safety and productivity are not competing priorities on a well run worksite. They are the same priority, measured differently. When a worker is injured during a manual lift, the project does not pause. It absorbs the cost: lost time, workers compensation exposure, schedule disruption, and the compounding effect of reduced workforce capacity at the most demanding phase of the job.
The A.L.P.H.A. reduces that exposure by eliminating the conditions that create it. Precision placement at 40-foot lift height. Secure load stabilization. Full operator visibility across the entire range of motion. These are not features. They are the engineering answer to a quantified risk.
Overexertion and bodily reaction injuries, including those from manual lifting at elevation, represent nearly one in four workplace injuries requiring days away from work in construction and industry.

The A.L.P.H.A. directly reduces the conditions associated with all three categories during elevated material placement.

Every design decision in the A.L.P.H.A. system reflects a specific field problem. The result is a platform that performs precisely where standard equipment compromises.
Extends reach and adaptability across a wide range of lifting tasks and structural configurations. Workers no longer have to choose between positioning the platform and reaching the installation point.
Secures load stabilization during both transport and active operation. Materials remain fixed at elevation, removing the human intervention that creates the greatest injury exposure during placement.
Dependable anchoring points for materials that require secure fastening before and during the lift. Eliminates improvised securing methods that introduce unpredictable load behavior at height.
Enables precise material placement at the working heights demanded by commercial construction, data center builds, industrial facilities, and HVAC installations without requiring elevated manual intervention.
Protects materials from surface damage during loading, transport, and placement. Particularly critical for finished panels, glass, and sensitive building materials where contact damage creates both cost and schedule consequences.
Chassis mounted stow bracket with a 20-foot operational reach. The operator maintains full visual alignment across the complete lift height, enabling precise adjustments without repositioning the platform or the material.
Key Applications
The A.L.P.H.A. was designed for the specific conditions found in active construction and industrial environments. These are not hypothetical use cases. They are the documented injury scenarios that motivated the platform's design.
Safely elevates ceiling panels to precise designated heights, eliminating the overhead manual positioning that creates sustained awkward posture exposure. Workers control placement from the ground with full line of sight to the installation point.
Enhances efficiency in HVAC and plumbing installations by removing the need for repeated elevated manual lifts. Ductwork and piping runs are positioned with mechanical precision, reducing worker strain while accelerating installation timelines and improving alignment accuracy.
Eliminates the physical demands of manual drywall overhead lifting, which requires sustained awkward posture under significant load. The A.L.P.H.A. positions and holds panels at the exact installation height, reducing worker fatigue, injury risk, and material damage while compressing installation time on every run.
Platform Specifications
and Safety Design
