 AERIAL LIFT

 INTRODUCTION

An aerial lift also called an aerial

work platform is a type of heavy
equipment used to lift people.
According to the Occupational
Health and Safety Administration
(OHSA), aerial lifts include
extensible boom platforms, aerial
ladders, articulating boom
platforms, and a combination of
these devices.
While aerial lifts have multiple
uses on the construction site, their
versatility can be utilized in other
industries as well. From sporting
events to farm work.

USE OF AERIAL LIFT
1. Construction Industry Jobs
Aerial lifts are often used for tasks once performed using ladders
and scaffolding. They’re more versatile than either of those options.
Construction workers can use aerial lifts to install ductwork or wiring
in a building. They can also be used to access work on pipes and
HVAC units.
2. Events and Entertainment
aerial lifts can add another perspective and a different angle in
the media and entertainment industry. Articulating boom lifts can be
used to follow performers as they enter a venue or move around
inside. Scissor lifts on the sidelines can raise camera operators above
the action, giving the viewer more of a bird’s-eye view and an ability
to see more of the action.

3. Video Production
A professional videographer goes above and beyond to ensure that their client’s video is excellent. In fact, many videographers are
known for renting aerial lift equipment. One particular piece of equipment that has been used is an aerial lift platform. Taking aerial
shots, zooming high and then low, can add extra depth to your project. Videos, whether they’re short movies or advertisements, need
layers. Layers add creativity to any project and make the final product a success.
4. Orchard Work
Boom lifts were originally called “giraffes” by Walter E. Thornton-Trump when he invented them back in 1951. But people
started calling them “cherry pickers” because they were used so often to harvest fruit. It was a lot easier than balancing on a ladder,
which might not be too stable. They’re still used in this manner today, with the name being applied specifically to a kind of boom lift
that’s attached to a truck.

5. Retail Warehouse Work
Aerial lifts can be a big help when working inside warehouses.
Electric and pneumatic models can be used without damaging
hearing (warehouses are great echo chambers, magnifying loud
engine noises) or emitting toxic fumes. Narrow articulating boom lifts
can help you maneuver in tight spaces, while electric scissor lifts can
raise and lower you as you stack or retrieve inventory from high
shelves.
6. Window Washing
A scissor lift can work great for washing windows. Instead of dealing
with potentially unsteady planks, or hanging down in a full-body
harness, workers can raise a scissor lift one level at a time with their
feet securely on the platform. They don’t even have to move, and a
scissor lift can raise them more than four stories high. Boom lifts can
go even higher.

7. Telephone Line Repair

You’ve probably seen utility workers using boom lifts to work on telephone lines. It’s a common practice and a lot easier than using aerial
ladders (the kind you see on a fire engine). An articulating boom lift or even a rotating telescopic lift are both more versatile in terms of
getting workers into position to complete a job.
8. Building Inspections
Inspectors can use boom lifts to get an up-close view of a building. This can be important in discovering sometimes minor flaws that could
create major problems later on. Boom lifts can give inspectors access to roofing, windows, plumbing, and electrical wiring

SAFETY CONCERNS
REGARDING AERIAL LIFT
Aerial lift accidents account for roughly 3% of construction deaths, while others cause serious injury. Even though aerial lifts are
equipped with guardrail systems for fall protection, falls are still a major concern, accounting for more than 200 construction deaths a
year. So to be safe following measures can be taken:

•Inspect the equipment before use: Be sure vehicle and lift components are operating properly. Check for fluid levels and possible
leaks, loose or missing parts, guardrails’ stability, battery levels, horns, brakes, etc.
•Ensure all aerial lift operators are trained and certified: Workers using an aerial lift should be familiar with how to operate a lift,
how to deal with hazards, how to perform inspections, and what the manufacturer’s requirements are. Only trained and authorized
workers should operate this equipment.
•Take measures to reduce falls: Be sure you’ve shut and latched the door behind you once you climb aboard the lift platform. Avoid
leaning over guardrails and be aware of nearby obstructions. Be aware of rough terrain and be sure to use the proper kind of lift if
you’re not on level ground.
•Be aware of load-capacity limits: Don’t overload the lift with too many workers or too much material. Check the manufacturer’s
specifications ahead of time.
•Consider wind conditions before use: Do not operate an aerial lift if high winds are forecast. For instance, scissor lifts are generally
unsafe to operate in winds higher than 28 miles per hour. At speeds of more than 20 mph, a qualified person must decide whether it is
safe to proceed.
•Be aware of overhead clearance: If you’re operating indoors or near overhead obstacles outdoors (trees, power lines, etc.), it’s
important to make sure you maintain clearance overhead.
 AERIAL LIFT
HOW TO SELECT AERIAL LIFT AS PER USAGE ?
•Weight capacity: How many workers will need to be on
your lift at one time, and will it need to be able to
accommodate heavy materials as well.
•Load capacity: Any platform you select should be able
to bear the load you’re planning to lift. This means not
just weight but size: Materials shouldn’t hang over the
edge/railing.
•Lift height and reach: It matters how high up you need
to go and in what direction. A telescopic boom lift may
be able to take you a lot higher than a scissor lift, and an
articulating lift can give you access to areas other lifts
may not be able to reach.
•Platform size: Generally speaking, scissor lifts can
accommodate more workers than boom lifts. A telescopic
lift’s platform shape can affect its center of gravity, and
wider platforms can usually carry less because they are
heavier.
•Job site conditions and work area: Indoor work will
require a zero-emissions lift. An articulating lift is likely to
work better in crowded areas and narrow spaces. An all-
terrain lift will be required for uneven outdoor ground.
