AERIAL LIFT PLATFORM
An Aerial Lift Platform is available for National Cranes. The
platform can be attached to either the tip of the boom or the
tip of the jib for the purpose of lifting personnel and their work
equipment to elevated working heights. The occupancy
rating is two person maximum.
NOTE: Where no capacity ratings are shown on the load
chart,i.e. at below 0° boom angle, operation is
allowable with the boom fully retracted.
Hydraulic tools can be operated from the Aerial Lift Platform
using the optional Hydraulic Power Intensifier (Figure 6-10).
Reference 9828221048 Valve Intensifier manual.
The platform is equipped with a manually applied brake to
keep platform from swinging when the platform is being
loaded or after the desired work position is reached. The
brake is intended to be disengaged when the platform is
raised to the work position so that the platform hangs freely
within 10 degrees of level until the work position is reached.
A gate is located at the front of the platform for ease of
entrance and exit to the platform. The gate must be in the
closed position when the platform is occupied.
A safety harness is required for the platform occupant and is
secured to a harness attachment link located on platform.
Operation of the Aerial Lift Platform is controlled by the Radio
Remote Controll
