BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE MEWP
This aerial platform has been designed to be mounted on a road motor vehicle. It is made up of:
-
a structure (platform)
made up of a rotating turret; its rotation is possible by means of a ball bearing
fifth wheel. On the turret peak, an articulated boom is hinged, which is connected to a telescope boom
(with a 3 extensible elements), jib boom and basket support. On this latest element, the basket is
hinged.
-
a base support structure (basic-counterframe)
made up of longitudinal frame members and cross
members on which the fifth wheel of the turret is fixed; also
4 stabilizers and the oil tank are part of the
basic counterframe.
-
a hydraulic equipment
which controls the movement of the machine.
-
an electric equipment
which feeds the electric system of the vehicle.
All the machine’s movements are hydraulic and there is always a corresponding safety valve.
The platform has an emergency manual lowering system which must only be used in the event of a
breakdown and/or if there is a fault in the main power supply circuit.
1.7 LEGAL ASPECTS
The legal obligations of the owner of the machine vary according to the country of commissioning. It is
therefore recommended to inquiry about the procedures in force in your country from the boards
responsible for industrial safety. This manual contains a final section called "Control Register" for better
filing of documents and recording of any modifications.
In ITALY, the owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the use of the unit to the local competent INAIL.
INAIL issues a "Control booklet" indicating only the detectable data of the machine already in use or
inferable from the relative User Manual. Afterwards INAIL sends a copy of the same booklet to the
territorial inspection boards (ASL/USL or ARPA) which carry out the periodical mandatory checks (every
year).
The annual checks are compulsory and must be carried out also when the "Control booklet" is not available.
In Italy the owner of the Aerial Platform must apply for a periodical check by sending a registered letter to
the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or ARPA) at least twenty days before the expiry of the year
from the purchase date or the last periodical check.
In case of transfer of ownership (in Italy) the new owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the ownership
of the unit to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or ARPA) by enclosing a copy of:
-
Conformity declaration issued by the manufacturer;
-
Declaration of commissioning carried out by the first owner.
