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). Floor loading information can be found in the operating manual for the particular machine you are using. Inspect the machinery to make sure it is fit for use and ensure operators are fully trained There are two main factors which can prevent stability problems: a basic understanding of stabilising equipment properly and carefully assessing the surface they are used on. n3kGz=[==B0FX'+tG,}/Hh8mW2p[AiAN#8$X?AKHI{!7. 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. Booms on an articulated lift are typically shorter than the boom of a comparable height straight lift. A more important dimension than platform height 320 * 1200 the overall stability of a mewp is determined by / 820 = 480.! Many accidents or equipment damage happens when operators don't fully understand the equipment. Indoor spaces should be properly surveyed as floors, cellars and basements are often unable to take the necessary weight. The drive and steer controls are located only on the platform control panel. All MEWPs are designed to meet defined stability criteria and testing requirements that are critical to the safe use and operation. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. Maintaining the upright in a vertical orientation is usually achieved by a hydraulic circuit or parallelogram linkage with the tower boom. This results in additional costs to the vehicle. 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). Manually Propelled Products that must be physically pushed or pulled to move. The two main boom angle sensors measure the angle of the main boom relative to gravity and are continuously monitored for mutual agreement. Many floors are unable to take the weight of a MEWP and could collapse without warning. Roads in estates and residential areas may be less durable than those designed for commercial vehicles. When designing a boom lift, vehicle weight is an important consideration because it affects manufacturing costs, vehicle maneuverability and safety factors. Working Load of the MEWP should be determined and care taken to not exceed it. However, if it is not given, it can be calculated if the currents, Ib (the base current) and either Ie ( the emitter current) or Ic (the collector current) are known. Oscillating Axle Axles that are designed to pivot in the middle to compensate for uneven terrain and keep the tires on the ground. Two-Wheel Drive Units that have drive power to only two wheels. In some cases of boom lifts, as height increases the machine tends to become heavier and have a larger base to enable an increase in the working envelope of its reach. Underground Services The weight of a MEWP may cause damage to sewers, drains, manholes and gas and water mains. Type 2 lifts can travel while the work . Two-wheel-drive scissor lifts usually drive with the front steer wheels. Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) intended to move persons to working positions where they are carrying out work from the work . Standard features may include pneumatic tires (air-filled) and powerful gasoline/ LPG or diesel engines. In a global health crisis, everyone is vulnerable to mental distress.

Function Enable Switch A hand or foot switch that, when used in combination with any function switch, enables the function to take place. "In the U.S., actual working height should incorporate 6 feet - representing the reach of an average worker standing on the platform with arms stretched overhead. Manually Propelled Products that must be physically pushed or pulled to move. Moving from hard ground to soft may cause instability and overturn. Your request for location has timed out. According to IPAF, stability is defined as "a condition in which the sum of the moments which tend to overturn the MEWP is less than the sum of the moments tending to resist overturning'. Determine if the support surface is adequate for the weight of the MEWP. Ground conditions have a big impact on the stability of MEWPs and a ground survey should be completed before every job. The annual inspection must be performed at least once every 12 . . They are typically on wheels or casters. Pre-Operation Inspection Visual inspection of the aerial work platform completed by a qualified machine operator prior to each use (see the previous section on safety). Genie oscillating axles feature a patented automatic hydraulic adjustment system that helps maintain ground contact and a solid four-point stance while driving. They are easier to operate in tighter environments and can replace ladders for improved safety and productivity. 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. Proximity to Excavations If the MEWP needs to be used close to the edge of trenches or excavations where the outriggers or wheels may be in the danger area, then an engineering assessment must be made by a competent geotechnical engineer before the MEWP is set up and operated. JLG uses necessary cookies to make sure our site works. 417 15 The responsibility for safe operation of a MEWP lies with employers, managers, supervisors, operators, and others using these machines/devices. MEWPs 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, whilst all-terrain vehicles can be set up on severely sloping gradients. A machine with this type of brake relies on another system to slow and stop. Make sure operatives know how to use the individual machine and what it is capable of. In the new standards, MEWP classifications are made up of a combination of two key distinguishing descriptions: a) a MEWP Group.
