Core Logic for Choosing a Telescopic Aerial Work Platform

Prioritize efficient direct access, high load capacity, and stability while meeting task requirements. Select for scenarios with minimal obstacles or straightforward paths. Below are refined application scenarios and decision criteria:

I. When to Prioritize a Telescopic Aerial Work Platform?

1. Rapid Vertical Access to High Altitudes

• Example Scenarios:

Street light maintenance (direct elevation to pole tops).

High-rise façade cleaning/inspection (access above 20 meters).

Power/communication tower maintenance (vertical lift, no structural bypass).

• Decision Criteria:

• Work area directly overhead, free of complex obstacles.

Rapid deployment needed (telescopic booms extend faster than articulated booms).

Minimal lateral reach required.

2. High Load Capacity Needs

• Example Scenarios:

Heavy equipment transport (e.g., large AC unit installation).

Multi-person tasks (e.g., bridge inspections with 3–4 workers and tools).

Industrial material handling (e.g., steel beams for construction).

• Decision Criteria:

Load capacity >500 kg (telescopic platforms support 0.5–1.2 tons vs. 0.3–0.5 tons for articulated booms).

Stable in windy/high-vibration conditions (straight-arm design enhances rigidity).

Wide platform for multiple workers/tools.

3. Ultra-High Work Heights

• Example Scenarios:

Wind turbine inspections (heights >50 meters).

Ultra-high-rise construction (e.g., airport terminal roof welding).

Tall infrastructure maintenance (e.g., radio masts).

• Decision Criteria:

Target height >40 meters (telescopic booms reach 60+ meters; articulated booms max at ~45 meters).

Direct vertical access without intricate maneuvering.

High-altitude stability critical.

4. Narrow Spaces with Simple Paths

• Example Scenarios:

Warehouse shelf access (narrow aisles, no detours).

Factory equipment hoisting (direct vertical lift, no production line crossing).

Indoor high-reach maintenance (e.g., lighting in large atriums).

• Decision Criteria:

Workspace width <2 meters (telescopic platforms have compact footprints).

No multi-angle adjustments needed (straight-arm simplifies operation).

Smooth, unobstructed vertical paths.

II. Additional Considerations

• Terrain Compatibility: Ensure platform suits surface (e.g., rough-terrain models for outdoor sites).

• Operator Training: Verify operators are trained for telescopic boom controls.

• Safety Features: Prioritize platforms with overload sensors, emergency stops, and tilt alarms.

• Cost Efficiency: Balance rental/purchase costs against project duration and frequency.
