Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Truck; Provide Access to Inaccessible Places, Usually at Height
An aerial work platform (AWP) truck is a mechanical device
used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas,
usually at height. An aerial lift is any vehicle-mounted device used to elevate
personnel, including aerial ladders, vertical towers, articulating (jointed)
boom platforms, extendable boom platforms, and any combination of the above. An
aerial work platform (AWP) truck is specially designed to lift limited weights
that are typically less than a ton and can be installed and operated by an
individual.
Aerial work platform (AWP) trucks are widely used for construction
and maintenance purpose, as well as firefighters for emergency access. AWP
trucks are safe and convenient, which make them useful for construction and
mining, government, telecommunication, transportation and logistics, utility,
and others. Some of the aerial work platform (AWP) trucks
are light in weight and can be used in unreachable or remote areas for
maintenance operations. Some AWP trucks are self-driven and use automated
technology.
Moreover, aerial work platform (AWP) trucks provide access
to remote areas, high operational efficiency, and the ability to perform
multipurpose operations. Therefore, with the increasing construction and
renovation activities, the demand for aerial work platform is also increasing
across the globe. Construction is a major contributor to the U.S. economy.
According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), each year,
the construction industry creates nearly US$ 1.3 trillion worth of structures in
the United States.
Increase in sales of existing homes due to steady growth in
value of home equity will increase the U.S. home renovation activities. Ariel
work platforms and aerial lifts are used in many different industries and work
environments, from window washing to power line maintenance, work platforms
make help workers get where they need to be. There are few work platforms that
had a higher safe work load (SWL) capacity.
