Are you a telecommunications professional whose primary responsibility is maintaining networks? Then it is crucial to equip yourself with a van-mounted aerial work platform to simplify and enhance the quality of your services. In this article, we provide you with the essential keys to choosing the right van-mounted aerial work platform for your professional needs.
Working Height
First and foremost, it is important to define your requirements in order to select an aerial platform with an appropriate working height. At KLUBB Group, we offer van-mounted platforms with working heights ranging from 10 metres (K20L) to 15 metres (KL42P), allowing you to reach your desired work areas.
Outreach
Identifying your specific needs will also help you select the correct outreach for your work. This refers to the maximum horizontal distance the platform can reach when its arm is fully extended. A good outreach is essential as it minimises the interruptions needed to move the vehicle. Our van-mounted platforms offer outreach capabilities ranging from 5.8 metres (K20L) to 8.2 metres (KL42P).
Load Capacity
Load capacities vary and must be strictly adhered to in order to ensure operator safety and avoid the risk of crushing or overturning. It is important to choose an aerial platform that can support both the operator and their tools. Having tools within easy reach reduces the need to descend from the basket, thus shortening the duration of operations. Our models offer load capacities ranging from 120 kg to 200 kg, when equipped with stabilisers.
Stabilisers
The presence of stabilisers on your aerial platform ensures greater stability, thereby enhancing safety, load capacity, and working height. Our models with stabilisers, such as the KL38P and KL42P, are designed to work on more uneven terrain. Other models, without stabilisers, are intended for different applications.
Boom Arm of the Aerial Platform
The boom arm of the aerial platform is a key factor when selecting your equipment. It affects the flexibility and accessibility of hard-to-reach areas. An articulated boom is ideal for confined spaces, while a telescopic boom allows for greater heights with improved stability. We also offer models with a pendular arm (KL38P and KL42P), which allows the basket to rotate, providing better management of obstacles.
Electric or Internal Combustion
Electric platforms are suitable for urban environments due to their low noise levels and the absence of greenhouse gas emissions. Internal combustion models, on the other hand, offer greater autonomy for extended operations in rural areas where access to electricity may be limited. We also offer aerial platforms equipped with the "Green Pack," which enables operation when the engine is switched off.
In addition, a thorough assessment of factors such as working height, outreach, load capacity, and safety features will help you select the ideal aerial work platform for your needs.
