CHAP. 1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
"Ragno" are aerial access platforms having the best facilities for internal
positioning and working and for external applications, where entrance, slope or
path are an impossible obstacle for more conventional machines.
One of the "Ragno" peculiarities is the stabilizing-legs’ possibility to be rotated
and articulated independently, which gives unprecedented versatility when setting
up in confined spaces and on inclines.
"Ragno" have standard dual power: no-noise thermic power pack for robust
external working and electric motor(s) for quiet and fume-free indoor operations.
This platform is available in rubber-tracked crawler version particularly fit for
irregular grounds, being capable of climbing steps or steep slopes.
The platform is not electrically isolated but it is being projected to operate outside.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
"Ragno" unit mainly consists of a frame with 4 articulated stabilizing legs, and
supporting the turntable, slewing on a ball bearing ring.
Steel made multi-telescopic boom is hinged to the turntable and it supports the
aerial cage, with an hydraulically articulating jib. All movements are actuated by
hydraulic cylinders, or hydraulic motors
Unit is mounted on rubber tracks, completely integrated with the supporting frame.
Two power packs are mounted on the Ragno : el.motor 220V and no-noise diesel
engine, all driving the platform movements alternatively and both source are able to the
boom mouvements and travelling.
The machine has two control panel, one on the round, and one in the cage and are
interlocked; it’s possible to use only one.
The ground control panel allows the travelling and stabilizer positioning, and the
boom mouvements generally used for the emergency operations.
