The capacity of construction lifting equipment is very small. Often they come down only to lifting loads onto the roof of a structure or onto some kind of ceiling. That is why you should look for methods that will help lift the load to a specific floor of the building. For such purposes, they use remote platforms for receiving cargo, which allow you to freely submit and receive materials to the desired floor.
Description
The remote platform is widely used as an additional structure in construction, reconstruction of multi-storey buildings, in the construction of metal frames for business centers, but the main function of the platform is considered to be the acceptance of construction cargo.
The construction platform is fixed between the floors of buildings and fixed with construction struts for stability.
They also use this type of lifting equipment as a hinged platform. It is a welded metal structure. This design is attached to the outer wall of the building and is used to perform facing work. The main advantagesuspension platform is easy to install and install on any floor of the construction site, which makes it simply an indispensable assistant in the construction of brick and monolithic buildings.
Installing the platform
The remote platform is installed by a crane, which is later used to lift materials to a height. The platform is directed to the necessary opening of the building, where it is fixed. The remote platform is a welding frame with a supporting surface covered with wood or metal, has a special collapsible barrier designed for safe operation. The strength and quality of these structures must be confirmed by permits.
Types of remote platforms
Today, there are several types of structures of this type. The most used are:
- K-1, 1. The load capacity is 1200 kg, the size of the receiving area is 1.5x2.0 m.
- K-1, 4. The main characteristic features of this type according to the specifications are the load capacity - 2500 kg, the volume of the working area - 2.5x2.0 m, the flooring material - wood.
- K-1, 3. It has the highest lifting capacity, it can lift a load that weighs more than 2500 kg. The main dimensions of the working area are 2.5x2.0 m. Unlike the design of K-1, 4, the flooring is made of steel.
K-1 remote platforms differ both in weight and in size of the entire common mechanism. Form K-1, 1 weighs approximately 500 kilograms, K-1, 4 - 960 kilograms, the heaviest is considereddesign K-1, 3 - its weight is 1000 kg.
Application on site
All modifications of K-1 structures are very convenient for warehousing and storage of various building materials and appliances. It is important to remember that the total weight of the load on the outrigger must not exceed the lifting capacity of the platform.
Only sites with certificates and permits may be used. If at least one necessary document is missing, then using this design is unsafe, as this increases the risk of injury to people working on construction. Therefore, remote platforms undergo the necessary tests to recognize their suitability for operation. Auxiliary building structures have all the necessary certificates. A mandatory requirement is the availability of drawings for a remote platform.
Using these sites in construction, you get a durable product with a package of all necessary documentation, including a product passport and an instruction manual. Remote platforms guarantee the safe and quiet work of workers who perform construction and installation work at height, with the obligatory observance of all safety standards.
