The men were working on the fourth floor on the top of a building on Constitution Avenue, in Campbell, when the platform stopped moving. They called triple zero shortly after 7am.
The Emergency Services Agency said it sent the ambulance, a pumper and the Bronto Aerial Platform to help.
"A firefighter was able to fix the mechanical issue of the hydraulic platform they were working on," the agency said in a statement.
"ACT Fire & Rescue did not have to use its Bronto Aerial Platform. The two men have been safely lowered to the ground."
No one was hurt in the incident.
