How to choose a suitable aerial work platform? 2

Aerial work platforms are machines that help operators to work at high altitudes. They lift people and materials needed for construction to a height safely. Because the functions required in each working environment are different, the choice of aerial work vehicle type is crucial. When choosing an aerial work platform, you need to pay attention to the following issues.

Scissor type or arm type

Aerial work platforms can be simply divided into two categories: scissor type and arm type. The scissor type is suitable for vertical lifting occasions, and the arm type is suitable for occasions with certain extension requirements, that is, the horizontal distance between the equipment position and the working surface is slightly larger. The following factors need to be considered:

1. The horizontal distance between the equipment parking position and the working surface: The main function of the scissor type aerial work platform is vertical lifting. There is a platform that can be slightly extended at the front end of the operating platform, so the working range can be extended to a certain extent. If the plane you need to work on is a wall, and there is a one-meter-wide green belt under the wall that cannot be crushed and loaded, then the scissor lift platform can be used for operation. If you need to move frequently when working on this wall, it will be a bit difficult to work because the scissor lift can only extend forward a short distance and cannot move sideways.

2. The size of the working surface: The arm truck is designed to solve the above problems. It can cover the working surface in a wide range and at a wide angle without moving the equipment itself. Painting a wall may be completed without moving the equipment at all.

3. Whether to span high: If there is an obstacle of a certain height between the parking position of the equipment and the working surface, the straight arm of the arm truck may be blocked by the obstacle. If you need to deal with this situation, you need to choose a crank arm aerial work platform. Literally, the arm of this Construction Lift platform can be bent and can adapt to a more complex working environment than a straight arm aerial work platform.

Electric drive or fuel drive If there are no special requirements, electric drive becomes the first choice due to environmental protection and energy saving. Due to the large size and weight of some equipment models, electric drive will produce insufficient endurance and power, so a fuel drive design is adopted. In addition, electric-driven aerial work platforms need to be charged continuously for several hours. For some jobs that cannot be charged in time, fuel-driven aerial work platforms can also be used.

Other conditions of the workplace

Is it a very flat cement floor, are there concerns about the exhaust and noise of fuel engines, are there narrow entrances and exits, is it in a harsh working environment, and whether auxiliary equipment such as forklifts are needed to transport the aerial work platform to the designated location. For example: Spider cars can cope with more complex on-site spatial structures. Moreover, the body is light and narrow, suitable for indoor installation in large commercial complexes.
