Use of Different of Access Platforms
Folding platform systems.
These work like ladders with a raised, large platform on the top of the system. Because of their folding capabilities, the workers get better access to the worksite. The lower tiers of this system might have open platforms to give better access to the workers.
Powered platform systems.
Motorized platforms, powered by diesel, electric batteries, or both, allow workers to move up and down while doing work. They feature guardrail systems to protect the workers.
Scissor lifts: Scissoring supports rise from a motorized bed, allowing the worker to take his equipment to a higher place. They conduct repairs and work with equipment, not having ground support.
Cherry pickers: Unlike the scissors lifts, the cherry pickers allow the worker to move in a variety of directions. They have a greater extension so the worker can move forward and backward.
Electric hoists: These platforms work to give mobility to workers relative to existing scaffolding. They help the workers move between the different floors of the building.

Things to Watch During Operations
Though the working of powered access platforms is safe in ordinary situations, one must keep an eye open for specific circumstances when things might turn dangerous. Here are some typical extreme conditions you will do well to avoid:
● Overload the platform
● Work near power lines
● Forgo safety considerations
● Contact from swinging booms
● Poor maintenance
● Pinched by scissor mechanisms
● Unauthorized modifications
● Contact with passing traffic or equipment
The operators at APC have the training in the correct process of handling and operating the lifts. We also upgrade their training often to teach them the latest procedures and safety norms to follow. You will have nothing to worry about when you use our equipment and operators.
