Platform accessories comprise additional railings, air lines, welder leads and travel alarms. Work lights and tool trays are available as well. When it comes to power options, several models are available with 3-phase AC generator to enable welding operations. The generator can be hydraulic-driven or belt-driven, which depends on the model.
