These machines, which are legally referred to in the regulations and related standards as columnar work platforms and are among the lifting and transmission group vehicles, are generally referred to by names such as automatic scaffolding or mobile work platform in the market. The columned work platform is the platform used to climb to the hard-to-reach places. The greatest ease of the columnar platform makes work easier and finishes faster.
The columned work platform, which provides great convenience in the buildings to be repaired and renovated on the building facades and façades, can be raised to high floors like an elevator. Although this work platform is safe, it is essential that maintenance and inspections be performed to accredited organizations. Columnar work platforms are mostly used in the construction of tall buildings. According to the need, such as hydraulic and pawn gear types are used. It is very useful for exterior siding of buildings and some mechanical works.
The major advantages of columnar work platforms are that they are safe, efficient and save labor and time. Installing and pouring these platforms takes place in a short time compared to other facade systems. In addition, it can move easily on the employees and provides an ergonomically comfortable working environment. One of its advantages is its load bearing capacity. In this way, the loads are easily raised with the employees. The only drawback is that they are costly. Furthermore, if it is not installed properly and used properly, it leads to more risky results than other façade systems.
For this reason, improper bolt connections during installation, improper mounting of moving parts, failure of stable connections and stability, and installation by unauthorized persons pose a danger to columned work platforms. In this respect, the minimum requirements for health and safety of all construction equipment and equipment used in the enterprises in the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment must also be complied with on columned work platforms.
Columnar work platforms are also among the equipments that carry heavy loads and create a danger for human health and property safety and regular inspections are required.
Our company performs regular inspections and inspections of columnar working platforms within the framework of periodic controls of lifting and conveying machines in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
