A Mobile Access Platform is a professional equipment that integrates mechanical lifting,flexible movement,and safe operation.It is mainly used to replace traditional scaffolding,ladders,and other tools,providing stable and convenient operating space for high-altitude operations(usually 2-30 meters).It achieves platform lifting and lowering through hydraulic,electric or mechanical transmission,and is widely used in construction,municipal maintenance,warehousing and logistics,venue maintenance and other scenarios,with the core characteristics of"efficiency,safety and controllability".Here is a detailed introduction:
1、Main types and structural characteristics
According to the lifting method and walking form,Mobile Access Platforms can be divided into various types to meet different work requirements:
Scissor type aerial work platform
Structural features:The platform is lifted and lowered through the expansion and contraction of scissor type brackets,which cross in an"X"shape and are driven by hydraulic pressure for smooth lifting and lowering;The bottom is equipped with four-wheel movement(mostly electric drive),and the platform has a large load-bearing area(usually 1.5-3 square meters).
Advantages:Strong stability(triangular support formed by scissor structure),high rated load(300-500kg),able to accommodate 2-3 people and tools;Fast lifting speed(0.8-1.5m/min),suitable for indoor and outdoor flat ground operations.
Applicable scenarios:Installation of factory equipment,sorting of warehouse shelves,maintenance of mall ceilings,and other low to medium height(usually 6-12 meters)operations.
Curved arm aerial work platform
Structural features:The platform is lifted and lowered by multiple foldable"curved arms"(such as two section arms and three section arms),and the arm frame can rotate 360°and flexibly bend and extend,enabling it to work across obstacles;The walking methods include tire type(suitable for highway movement)and track type(suitable for complex terrain).
Advantages:Large operating radius(horizontal extension up to 5-10 meters),able to penetrate narrow spaces or cross barriers such as walls and equipment,with a maximum operating height of over 30 meters.
Applicable scenarios:Outdoor high-altitude operations,such as bridge maintenance,street lamp installation,billboard installation,building exterior wall construction,etc.
Straight arm aerial work platform
Structural features:Adopting single or multiple telescopic straight arms,with a higher lifting height(10-40 meters),a long horizontal extension distance,a platform that can rotate 360°,and high operational accuracy;Mostly driven by diesel or electric,suitable for heavy-duty operations.
Advantages:High vertical lifting efficiency,strong load-bearing capacity(500-1000kg),capable of carrying multiple people and heavy tools,and better stability than articulated arms.
Applicable scenarios:Installation and maintenance of high-altitude equipment in large industrial plants,airports,docks,etc.,or operations that require long-distance horizontal extension.
Mast type aerial work platform
Structural features:The platform is supported by a single or double mast column(mainly made of aluminum alloy material)for lifting and lowering,and is compact and lightweight with smooth lifting and lowering.It is mostly driven by electric power and has low noise.
Advantages:Suitable for working in narrow spaces such as elevator shafts and corridors,with a height of usually 3-10 meters,easy to operate,and can be controlled by a single person.
Applicable scenarios:Indoor precision operations,such as hotel lobby chandelier maintenance,library bookshelf organization,subway tunnel equipment maintenance,etc.
