What is an aerial lift truck?

Aerial Platform Truck, commonly known as Aerial Work Platform (AWP), is a special engineering vehicle used to achieve aerial work. It completes aerial work tasks safely and efficiently by lifting workers and equipment into the air.

Features:

Safe working height: Provides a stable aerial work platform so that workers can safely reach the aerial work area.

Versatility: Suitable for a variety of aerial operations, such as construction, maintenance and repair, advertising installation, etc.

Easy to operate: Equipped with an intelligent control system to simplify the operation process and improve work efficiency.

Flexible: The vehicle is designed to be flexible and can be quickly moved to the work site to adapt to different working environments.

Safety devices: Equipped with safety guardrails, emergency stop buttons, overload protection and other safety devices to ensure safe operation.

Common Types:

*Straight-arm Aerial Platform Truck: Has a large working height and range, suitable for open area operations.

*Knuckle-arm Aerial Platform Truck: Compact structure, suitable for operations in space-constrained environments.

*Hybrid Aerial Platform Truck: It combines telescopic and folding designs. The upper and lower working arms are articulated. It has a variable and relatively compact structure, is easy and intuitive to operate, and has a strong ability to cross obstacles, which can adapt to various specific functional requirements.

Application:

• Construction: used for building exterior wall construction, decoration and cleaning.

• Municipal maintenance: installation and maintenance of street lights and traffic lights.

• Industrial maintenance: inspection and maintenance of factory equipment and power lines.

• Film and television production: arrangement of photography and lighting equipment during filming.

• Advertising installation: installation, replacement and maintenance of billboards.

Maintenance :

• Regular inspection: Regularly check the mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

• Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the vehicle in time after operation to prevent dust and debris from affecting the performance of the equipment.

• Lubrication maintenance: Regularly lubricate the moving parts to reduce wear.

• Replacement of wearing parts: Regularly replace wearing parts such as hydraulic oil, seals, etc. to extend the service life.

• Professional training: Operators should receive professional training to understand the correct operation methods and maintenance knowledge of the equipment.
