Must be performed prior to placing a MEWP into service, if the MEWP has been out of s ervice longer than three months, or if the Spider platforms with outriggers should also be regularly checked for machine level especially if suspected that spreaders or mats may be sinking. Weather: high winds can tilt platforms and make them unstable. Ground condition assessment is also important for self propelled MWEPs such as booms and scissor lifts which may be driven along the ground with the platform raised. The Hy-Brid Lifts Push-Around Series is an example of a Group A, Type 1 lift, as it can only be pushed throughout the jobsite when in the stowed position. Smaller compact lifts are great options to choose when completing work indoors. The upper boom is pinned to the upright with its own lift cylinder which can be raised or lowered in angle with a full range of motion regardless of the position of the tower boom. 0000001770 00000 n A nation's stability, economic development, and overall growth are largely determined by the quality of its leadership. The envelope shape positions of stability and structural integrity can be controlled including the restriction of forward and rearward reach of the platform. Note: When the drive enable system is in use, the machine may drive in the opposite direction that the drive and steer control handle is moved. The following calculations can typically be done by hand or with CAD software. Two-wheel-drive scissor lifts usually drive with the front steer wheels. Outriggers generate high pressure at the feet which may not be supported by many areas of soil or unmade ground and even some paved areas, so additional foundations may be required.

The MEWP should not be put into service until all malfunctions and/or problems found during the inspections have been corrected. Likewise, the position of maximum backward instability occurs when the tower is lowered to a near horizontal angle while keeping the upper boom raised at the max angle. Only competent and authorised persons are permitted to erect, alter, dismantle - or where appropriate, use (MEWP, Rope Access etc.) "The required work height is an obvious and important selection criterion for MEWPs," says Owyen. Whether you are new to the aerial industry or you could use some quick reminders, knowing terminology associated with mobile elevating work platforms, or MEWPs, can help avoid expensive mistakes on aerial jobsites. Narrow models are generally heavier, due to increased counterweight. Transom spacing is determined by the thickness of the boards supported. Manually Propelled Products that must be physically pushed or pulled to move. A primary motivation of this work was to determine to what extent the predictions of the electronically more realistic GGA+U treatment would differ from those obtained within the GGA. Electronic Envelope Control A position of maximum forward instability for this type of boom is encountered when the tower is raised to its full angle with the upper boom near a horizontal angle. The main boom length sensor measures the length of the main boom and is monitored for response to the main telescope command and for agreement with the fixed position length switch. 431 0 obj<>stream Floor surfaces the rapid growth of its electric vehicle business over especially if suspected that spreaders or mats be! Often used as part of the model name. Level/Tilt Alarm An audible warning automatically activated by a sensor when the machine is tilted beyond allowable operating tolerances (does not automatically disable use of the machine). Drive hubs utilize a planetary gear system that reduces wheel motor speed, thereby creating greater rotary force. Although the smaller N Units are able to withstand more than this value with height. In the new standards, MEWP classifications are made up of a combination of two key distinguishing descriptions: a) a MEWP Group. The width of aerial work platforms is a critical factor in maintaining stability. Determine what surface preparation is required and how to maintain the surface during MEWP tasks. There are two ways to control the envelope of the main boom: Mechanically and electronically.
