What are the preventive measures for crawler aerial work platforms?

Tracked aerial work platforms (AWP) are cost-effective and easy to use. It is lightweight and compact and can be used in schools, churches, warehouses, etc. A crawler aerial work platform, also known as an aerial work platform or aerial work vehicle, is a mechanical device used to temporarily access equipment or personnel to inaccessible places. Usually at a height.

These mechanical devices are often used to provide crane operators with the flexibility to access places humans cannot reach. It is mainly used for construction work, maintenance or cleaning of building walls/glass. Firefighters also use mobile elevating work platforms to put out fires during emergencies.

Aviation equipment has a limited weight capacity, usually no less than one ton. Few elevating work platforms have higher safe working load (SWL) capabilities. Crawler aerial work platforms provide solutions for interior work on large construction sites, such as high-rise buildings and light construction purposes.

Work platforms are made from a durable metal base and covered with cages or rails to protect those standing on the platform. The platform is connected to a robotic arm that raises the platform to the top. A person standing on the platform can adjust the lowering or raising of the platform using a console located there.

Types of crawler aerial work platforms

There are different types of elevated platforms depending on the specific mission, and each type of platform has its own unique fuel resources and working mechanisms. The most commonly used model is the EWP (elevated work platform). This type of platform is hydraulically operated, much like a crane with different joints, allowing it to be used in up and down applications.

Scissor lifts are another commonly used crawler-type aerial work platform. It can move up and down quickly, mainly because its deployment system is made of a cross-shaped structure that stretches and compresses when needed. Scissor lifts can be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanized.

Preventive measures for crawler aerial work platforms:

1. Plan your work according to the task requirements and ensure that the operator understands the surrounding environment, possible hazards and ways to avoid these hazards.

2. Choose a suitable crawler aerial work platform. The size and methods provided by the access platform should match the type of tasks you wish to perform.

3. Strictly observe basic safety methods such as checking the work area before lifting the work platform, lift the platform slowly and carefully, avoid leaning on the handrails, and always pay attention to the direction of the work and platform. move.

4. Avoid squeezing through high obstacles

5. Make sure there are rescue experts in the backup equipment to help you gain safety in the event of an accident or encounter difficulties while performing tasks.
