Tower machine for electricians
A tower machine for electricians is a specialized vehicle designed to perform work on the installation, repair and maintenance of power lines, lighting and other electrical devices located at height.
Key Features:
* Working height: The height to which the platform with workers can be raised, usually from 10 to 40 meters.
* Load Capacity: The maximum weight that the platform can lift is usually between 200 and 500 kg.
* Boom Reach: The distance from the base of the machine to the center of the platform when it is fully extended.
* Boom Angle: The range of angles the boom can rotate through.
* Maneuverability: The ability of a vehicle to move easily in tight spaces such as city streets.
Types of tower machines:
* Telescopic tower machines: Use a telescopic boom that extends in sections.
* Articulated-telescopic derrick machines: Combine an articulated boom with a telescopic element.
* Scissor lift machines: Use a folding scissor mechanism to lift the platform.
* Boom tower machines: They have a simple boom that does not fold or telescope.
* Tracked tower vehicles: They have a tracked propulsion system for off-road work.
Equipment:
* Insulated platform to protect workers from electric shock.
* Hydraulic system for raising and lowering the platform.
* Control system allowing the operator to control the boom and platform.
* Safety systems such as emergency stop, overload sensors and collision avoidance systems.
Application:
Electrician tower machines are used for:
* Installation and repair of power lines.
* Installation of lighting devices.
* Maintenance of switchgears.
* Repair of traffic lights.
* Trimming trees that interfere with power lines.
Advantages:
* Ensuring safe access to work at height.
* Increased labor efficiency due to the ability to lift workers and materials directly to the place of work.
* Reduce the use of stairs and lifting platforms.
* Minimizing the risk of injury and falls from height.
