3.1
General description of the machine
The
B-lift 18 HV
elevating work platform consists of a frame bolted to the chassis of the vehicle.
The upper part of the frame consists of a slip resistant aluminium platform.
There are 4 stabilizers fastened to the chassis, two front stabilizers on moved beams and two rear
stabilizers on ixed beam. They are positioned on the ground hydraulically and are equipped with
ground-contact and stabilizer-closed sensors.
The stabilizers are moved using a manually operated hydraulic distributor.
The rotating turret is ixed to a turntable that is mounted on the chassis. The turret rotation, ± 320°,
is constantly monitored by the software that prevents the continuous rotation of the elevating work
platform by limiting it to +320°. It only it allows it to return to its starting point.
A telescopic arm, formed by 3 elements (one ixed and two extensible) is ixed to the turret. The
telescopic arm is moved by a hydraulic cylinder. The lowering of the telescopic arm is stopped when it is:
•
in the way of the vehicle cab, only allowing it to be moved away from the area.
•
in correspondence with the stabilizers, only allowing it to be moved away from the area.
The work platform, made of alluminium, is anchored to the telescopic arm. It is also equipped with
a hydraulic cylinder operated rotation device 55° +55°.
The machine is moved by proportional electro-hydraulic controls.
The control station is located on the work platform.
The hydraulic devices are powered by the vehicle’s internal combustion engine via a
hydraulic pump driven by the meccanical power take-off (PTO).
The electrical power for the controls is supplied by the vehicle’s battery.
The controls, the mode of operation and the devices installed on the machine are described in
the
following pages.
