Installing mobile radio systems: Safe installation on roofs, mobile phone masts and transmission towers

The installation of mobile phone systems on roofs, cell phone masts and transmission towers requires not only specialist knowledge, but also the right equipment. Work platforms are indispensable aids in enabling fitters to safely access difficult-to-reach heights.

In this guide, you will learn why work platforms are the ideal solution for installing mobile communications systems, what safety benefits they offer and how they make everyday work on construction sites more efficient.

The challenges of assembling mobile radio systems

The installation of mobile radio systems is often a complex task that requires precise work and special equipment. Mobile radio masts and transmission towers are often located in difficult-to-access locations, such as on high buildings, in open rural areas or close to forests. The mobile radio antennas must not only be firmly mounted, but also precisely aligned to guarantee optimal performance and ensure an interference-free connection in the mobile radio networks.

It is crucial to use the right technology to set up the mobile radio system safely and efficiently. High masts require well-trained teams that are familiar with laying the cables and installing the base stations. Documenting the work carried out and quality control are other important steps to ensure that the mobile radio networks function smoothly. The success of the project depends on close cooperation between the teams involved and precise planning, as each system has individual requirements.

Which work platforms are suitable for mobile network expansion?

Articulated telescopic platforms for long-term use

Articulated telescopic platforms are the first choice for longer-term mobile network expansion projects. They offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of height and reach, as their boom-like arm can easily reach even hard-to-reach places on mobile phone masts. These platforms are particularly suitable when work is carried out on a fixed installation over several days, for example when installing mobile phone antennas or carrying out regular maintenance on transmission masts. Thanks to their stability and high load-bearing capacity, they are able to safely transport both personnel and the necessary tools and materials to great heights. The articulated telescopic platform remains in the same location throughout the entire operation and offers a safe, stable work platform for demanding projects at great heights.

Truck-mounted work platforms for mobile, short-term use

The truck-mounted work platform is ideal for shorter, mobile operations. It can be transported quickly and flexibly to different mobile phone locations and is particularly suitable for work that only takes a few hours. For example, when installing or aligning mobile phone antennas or base stations in urban or rural areas. The mobility of the truck-mounted work platform means the team can easily move between several locations and reach remote or difficult-to-access masts and systems. The truck-mounted work platform also scores points with its rapid readiness for use and is therefore perfect for short-term maintenance work or smaller installations.

Site-adapted work platforms for mobile communications projects

For mobile communications projects that take place inside buildings or in enclosed spaces, scissor lifts are the best choice. These platforms provide stable work platforms on level ground and offer enough load-bearing capacity for tools, materials and personnel. Scissor lifts are particularly ideal for installing mobile communications systems in existing buildings, such as shopping centers or office buildings, as they offer a vertical lifting function and enable precise work at heights safely and efficiently.

For mobile phone sites in public buildings where antenna supports or mobile phone systems have to be installed indoors, scissor lifts are the first choice. They offer secure footing and enough space to carry out the installation directly on the ceiling or high walls. Customers who need scissor lifts for their mobile phone projects also benefit from the fact that these work platforms operate emission-free and therefore do not affect air quality - an important aspect in enclosed spaces.

Scissor lifts are also ideal for precise assembly work on antennas that need to be hidden in private buildings, for example. They offer the necessary protection for the operating personnel and at the same time allow the technology to be positioned safely and precisely.

Increasing efficiency through work platforms in mobile network expansion

The use of aerial work platforms plays a crucial role in increasing efficiency during the expansion of mobile phone sites. Thanks to their flexibility and mobility, they enable quick access to hard-to-reach areas, such as a cell phone tower or a high transmission tower. Aerial work platforms help teams to carry out work at height safely and efficiently without the need for time-consuming scaffolding. This is particularly important when work at heights needs to be completed quickly at multiple locations. The use of specially adapted aerial work platforms enables assembly and maintenance work in the mobile phone sector to be carried out quickly and effectively, which can significantly support the entire expansion process.
