The most common functions found on the platform control panel are: Platform Height The maximum vertical height the floor of the work platform is capable of reaching. 4. The sensors restrict the length of the boom based on its angle and vice versa. A Group A machine has a design that does not allow the main platform to extend beyond the tipping line. Some models have no front-arm swing and are valuable in tight areas and narrow aisle applications. Make sure you subscribe below to receive monthly updates from Direct Access with newly posted content so you never miss important information. Level indicators provided on the MEWPs should be constantly monitored by the operator. A MEWP Group is determined by the platform location in reference to the equipment's tipping line, which is either at the wheels or the outriggers. Make sure operatives know how to use the individual machine and what it is capable of. This system is used on Genie trailer-mounted TZ-booms and some scissor (GS) products. Oscillating Axle Axles that are designed to pivot in the middle to compensate for uneven terrain and keep the tires on the ground. To calculate floor load, multiply the machines width in feet by its length in feet to determine the total area occupied, then divide the weight of the machine by the total area occupied to determine floor load (specifications are listed in all product sales brochures). 3v;icpm, }a.X%!ZJJaMkOY5:vn@

The following hierarchy of control should be adopted: avoid the risk by not working at height Found inside Page 274 which work is carried out such as: Roofs Floor Platform on a scaffold An MEWP The treads of a step ladder. The envelope shape positions of stability and structural integrity can be controlled including the restriction of forward and rearward reach of the platform. Coatbridge, Scotland, United Kingdom. Envelopes that are limited electronically are more prevalent on larger models, especially those with a straight boom. Vehicles exceeding a certain weight limit require special permits for transporting on public roads. Workplace Inspection An inspection of the worksite performed by a qualified operator prior to each use to identify workplace hazards to avoid while moving, setting up and operating the machine (see the previous section on safety). Two-wheel-drive scissor lifts usually drive with the front steer wheels. Maintenance A. Function Enable Switch A hand or foot switch that, when used in combination with any function switch, enables the function to take place. Footpaths should be considered suspect and carefully checked. Each machine has its own 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. Working Height The industry standard in the U.S. is 6 ft higher than platform height. These devices work by lowering the chassis ground clearance near the wheels. This is based on the premise that an individual standing in the platform with arms stretched overhead can reach areas 6 ft higher than the floor of the platform. O. 4. 0000002783 00000 n
This is used in combination with Contact Pressure to determine if the weight of the machine exceeds the capacity of the floors support system and/or surface material. Ground conditions have a big impact on the stability of MEWPs and as part of the risk assessment, a ground survey should be completed before every job. 1. sine.

Ce marked products are entitled to free movement throughout the European market ( EU and EEA ) means That lowers the center of gravity to improve safety and efficiency for MEWP design and use of MEWPs a. Powered access platforms use various methods to stabilise on uneven ground some spider lifts have adjustable legs that can be set up in different positions and on different levels and all-terrain vehicles can be set up on severely sloping gradients. Within ANSI A92, there are three standards affecting the MEWP user- the A92.20, covering machine design; the A92.22 covering safe use; and the A92.24 covering training. The infill roof is a rectangular steel-framed box, 52m-long by 18m-wide and 26m-high at the western end, tapering along one side to accommodate the shape of the WIT structure and over-sailing the two station roofs. The boom and platform of the MEWP must not be used to move or jack the wheels off the ground unless the machine is designed for that purpose by the manufacturer. Structure of the topmost platform is 3.5 times the minimum dimension of the slope the Be avoided MEWP must only be operated by trained and competent persons LPG or engines. However, these dangerous and expensive incidents can be avoided as there are two main factors which can prevent MEWP stability problems: i) knowing how to use the equipment properly and. Manually Propelled Products that must be physically pushed or pulled to move. Specifications provided in the way described in Section 6.6 of as 2550.10 efficiency MEWP Or slope with the counterweight uphill assuming adequate traction M.E.W.P.s Pedestrian - controlled electric rear, non-steer.. This creates the maximum horizontal outreach of the platform while also positioning the boom structure weight in the most detrimental position to the forward stability of the machine. 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. Maximum boom angles can create a situation of backward instability where the weight of the boom and the counterweight in the tail of the turntable can cause the machine to tip in the direction opposite the platform. Like straight boom designs, counterweight is added to the tail of the turntable to counterbalance the destabilizing moment of the upper boom and the platform load. Some units receive the RT designation with only the addition of lug tread tires. overall stab of a MEWP is determined by. The ANSI and CSA standards include requirements to train all MEWP operators, and for the first time ANSI has a requirement for those supervising MEWP operations to be trained as well . 431 0 obj<>stream
