Aerial platforms (lifts) - universal devices used for work at heightsThe aim of the training is not only to prepare the students for the UDT exam in the best possible way, but also to transfer knowledge and learn skills that will be useful in later work. Our instructors attach great importance to the principles of safe operation of devices, which allows you to avoid breakdowns and accidents at work. The price of the training includes an exam, after which you will get a pass UDT qualificationsnecessary for work in the profession.

Aerial platform: how it works, where it is used

This type of mobile platform is widely used for work at heights. It consists of a platform or a basket placed on a hydraulic arm. The whole thing is usually on a truck trailer, which gives the device a lot of possibilities when it comes to transport.

The basic parameters that may differ between individual models of basket platforms are:

  • Maximum Lifting Height, which is the height the platform can rise to
  • Maximum extension of the platform - measured from the axis of rotation to the extreme position of the basket
  • The dimensions of the work platform
  • Maximum lifting capacity - the weight that the platform can carry, expressed in kilograms or the number of people
  • Device weight and dimensions
  • Drive type: electric or combustion

Examples of use of the boosters are:

  • Work at heights at the construction site
  • Maintenance, cleaning, roof painting
  • Repair of lighting, electrical installation, traffic lights
  • Washing windows and facade elements
  • Pruning branches, caring for greenery in parks and other green areas
  • Fire brigade operations - fire trucks are also a type of aerial platform
