Designed for Tough Access Jobs
The Teupen Leo 21 GT is built for jobs that demand both reach and precision. Its compact size makes it perfect for working at height in tight or narrow spaces, while the dual power modes (diesel and electric) allow for safe operation both indoors and out.
Thanks to stabilising outriggers, the lift can be set up on sloped or soft terrain with ease, and its low ground pressure tracks help protect sensitive surfaces like lawns, tiles, or flooring. With a setup time of under five minutes, it’s ideal for projects where speed and minimal disruption matter.

FAQ
What is a spider lift?
A spider lift is a compact, tracked access platform designed to reach high or difficult areas where traditional access equipment like ladders, scaffolding or booms can’t go. It gets its name from the stabilising legs that extend like a spider.
How high can your spider lift reach?
Our Teupen Leo 21 GT spider lift provides a maximum working height of 21 metres, with an outreach of up to 12 metres. It’s ideal for everything from chimney repairs to high-level window installs.
Can the spider lift be used indoors?
Yes. The Leo 21 GT features a 230V electric motor option, making it suitable for indoor use in sensitive or enclosed environments like churches, shopping centres, or sports halls.
How wide is the lift when fully retracted?
Do I need training to use the lift?
No. Every hire includes John, our IPAF 1b-certified operator. You don’t need to worry about setup, safety, or controls — we handle everything for you.
Will the tracks damage my lawn or driveway?
No. Not at all. The lift runs on non-marking rubber tracks, and we use protective mats when needed to safeguard delicate surfaces like grass, paving, tiles or resin-bound driveways.
