Aerial work platforms: characteristics, application, work possibilities

Construction of booms

A basket lift is a material handling device, subject to technical supervision. Like other devices of this type, it is used to transport people vertically to the workplace at a height. A typical basket platform consists of a platform (basket) placed on a hydraulic arm with a telescopic, scissor or boom structure. The whole thing is placed on a car trailer, which facilitates transport to the place of work. The lifts differ in terms of the drive - they can be electric or diesel driven. Individual models also have different working heights, platform capacity and arm range.
