Aerial Work Platform Maintenance Skills And Leasing Precautions
The aerial work platform must be maintained every other year or 150 hour of use, so as to ensure the normal use of the equipment and prolong the service life of the equipment. Although the formal maintenance must be performed by professionals, our staff should also learn some Maintenance tips.
1. Check the oil quality and oil level of the hydraulic oil. The lifting platform rises all the way up. In this position, the hydraulic floor should be 40-50mm higher than the bottom of the box. If the hydraulic oil is found to be dark, sticky, or has foreign matter such as gravel, it should be replaced in time (32# hydraulic oil). Year-end maintenance of lifting platform Checks all hydraulic pipes and joints. The hydraulic oil should be replaced once after 1000 hours of use or should be replaced immediately if the oil is found to have deteriorated midway. Check the filters of the suction and return lines in the tank (annual).
2. Tubing, pipes, and filters. The pipes must not be damaged, the joints must not be loose, and all joints must be tightened. Remove and disassemble the lifting platform down valve, blow out the plunger with compressed air, then install it and reinstall it. Drain the hydraulic oil and discard it, tighten the joint to take out the oil filter, clean it with compressed air, put it back into the oil tank, and connect the pipeline. (Replace with new oil, do not continue to use the old oil of the elevator. Otherwise, the moving parts in the hydraulic lifting platform system will accelerate the wear and tear.)
3. Whether the rollers, intermediate shafts, and bearings of the aerial work platform, the pin shaft and bearings of the oil cylinder, the hinge shaft, and bearings of the arm frame are worn or not. All parts are filled with some lubricating oil to prolong the service life of lifting platform components.
4. Slewing bearings and other hardware. The slewing bearing should be tightened regularly with a torque wrench according to the specified number, and check whether the appearance of the equipment is damaged.
(1) Check the rotating system and lubricate the worm system. Adjust worm (annual) if necessary.
(2) Check the fixing bolts, pins, and connecting screws.
(3) Check that all labels, signs, trademarks, etc. are in place and visible.
(4) Check whether all signal lights are normal.
(5) Check the carbon brushes of the DC motor. (year)
(6) Check whether the paint surface is peeled off.
(7) Check whether there are cracks at each weld.


With the development of science and technology, there are many kinds of aerial work machines. For some customers who only need to use a certain type of aerial work platform for a short period of time, leasing is a very good way. Shandong Cathay Machinery Co., Ltd, as a professional supplier of aerial work platforms, here summarizes the precautions for leasing such machines.
1. The use site of aerial work platform rental
In what environment to construct, you need to choose the appropriate aerial work equipment according to your own actual situation, what site to use, how the environment is, how much the equipment requires, width size, span, rated load, and other factors need to be considered comprehensively. to choose.
For example, if customers with lifting platforms use them indoors and the environment is clean, they can choose ordinary high-altitude platforms. Some customers also use it indoors, but there is a lot of dust. At this time, you can choose a dust-proof high-altitude platform; some customers choose to use it outdoors, and the ground is flat. At this time, you can choose an ordinary high-altitude platform. Some customers are also using it outdoors, but the ground is full of bumps. At this time, it is necessary to choose an off-road high-altitude platform.
2. The utilization intensity of aerial work platform leasing
Different natures of work have completely different requirements for aerial platforms, and the types of requirements are also different. There are many kinds of aerial work equipment in the past. Therefore, what kind of work is definitely the key to which aerial platform equipment to choose? For example, some equipment is used for Some are shipbuilding, some ship repairing, some building steel structure workshops, some doing exterior wall painting, and so on. If the construction intensity of shipbuilding and ship repair is high, it is required to buy high-end products, and if the construction intensity of steel structure workshop is low, it can choose low-end products.
3. Brand selection for aerial work equipment rental
Usually, with the demand of the market, manufacturers can try their best to produce various types and configurations of high-altitude platforms, such as mast-type high-altitude platforms, scissor-type high-altitude platforms, straight-arm high-altitude platforms, articulating-arm high-altitude platforms, spider cars, etc. and other types of equipment. Customers can choose the type that suits them according to their needs.
