Reference 032 – Elevating work platform with a difference

Elevating work platforms are usually equipped with a work basket. It may be surprising that it is missing here, but there is a simple explanation: The work basket is mounted by our customer themselves. However, this is not the only unique feature of this elevating work platform …

Unlike conventional, autonomously operating models, this elevating work platform is specifically designed to function as part of a larger system. It extends about 1.5 meters beyond the edge of the facility, offering a unique, partially cantilevered design. This type of installation requires not only a stable construction but also careful consideration of the tipping moment. Therefore, the elevating work platform is accordingly supported over the subframe.

The platform of the elevating work platform is tailored to the cramped space conditions of the customer's facility, with a width of only 928 mm and a length of nearly 2 meters.

As mentioned earlier, we did not supply the complete elevating work platform, but only the scissor lift table as the base. The mobile work basket was mounted by the customer themselves. 
Underneath the work basket is a rail that allows the basket to extend up to 2.5 meters beyond the fixed bearing, resulting in a cantilevered load. To adequately support this cantilevered load, we designed the subframe to be extra sturdy.

Especially in high-temperature areas, the correct choice of materials is crucial. Therefore, the lift table is equipped with special heat-resistant hoses. These hoses are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and minimize the risk of heat damage.

Additionally, the elevating work platform does not have an autonomous control. The wiring on the terminal strip serves as the interface to the customer's higher-level control system. To facilitate cable routing for control, a total of four energy chains were installed on the lift table. Additionally, we have integrated appropriate sensors for approaching intermediate positions.
