It is important to check the surface carefully beforehand and stabilize it if necessary. The safety instructions and manufacturer's instructions must always be followed to minimize the risk of tipping over or other accidents.

In case of doubt, another, safer location must be chosen or additional stabilization measures must be taken.

Fall protection is an essential safety element when using aerial work platforms and industrial trucks. It serves to prevent accidents caused by falls and to ensure the safety of the operating personnel. Fall protection can take different forms depending on the type of work platform or industrial truck.

On aerial work platforms, guardrails and safety harnesses are some of the most common fall protection devices. Safety guardrails surround the platform and prevent the operator from accidentally falling off. Safety harnesses are worn by the operator and are connected to the aerial work platform to prevent falling out.

There are also various fall protection devices for industrial trucks. These include protective roofs and protective cabins that protect the operator from falling loads. In addition, safety belts can be used on certain types of forklifts to secure the operator.

Proper use and regular inspection of fall protection systems are crucial to prevent accidents and ensure workplace safety. Operators should be properly trained and strictly adhere to fall protection safety regulations.

The support width is the horizontal distance between the support legs of a work platform or industrial truck. It indicates how far apart the support legs or supports must be so that the work platform or industrial truck stands stable on the ground.

An appropriate support width is important to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle during operation and to prevent tipping or overturning. The support width may vary depending on the model and intended use and must correspond to the manufacturer's specifications or the operating instructions.

Axle monitoring is a safety function in aerial work platforms and forklifts that automatically stops the movement of the aerial work platform or load carrier when a predefined load limit is exceeded. Axle monitoring monitors the load on the individual axles of the vehicle to ensure that the permissible total weight is not exceeded. This is particularly important to ensure the stability of the vehicle and the safety of the operating personnel and people in the vicinity. If axle monitoring is activated and the maximum load weight is reached, the vehicle stops automatically to prevent possible overloading. Axle monitoring therefore makes an important contribution to accident prevention and compliance with legal regulations.

Axle load is a term used in various contexts, particularly in the field of vehicles and heavy machinery such as truck-mounted aerial platforms or chassis-mounted aerial platforms. It refers to the load or weight exerted on a single axle of a vehicle or machine.

In the context of truck-mounted work platforms or chassis-mounted work platforms, axle load plays an important role for the following reasons:

1. Security:
   Compliance with the prescribed axle loads is essential to ensure safety during operation. Exceeding the axle loads can result in excessive loading on the vehicle axle and increase the risk of accidents or damage.
2. Road use:
   Many countries have regulations and weight restrictions for vehicles, including trucks and aerial work platforms. These restrictions apply to both the total mass of the vehicle and the axle loads. Compliance with these regulations is necessary to protect roads and bridges.
3. Equipment and material:
   Aerial work platforms and similar machines have a certain weight and generate additional weight when they are moved upwards. This weight must be evenly distributed across the axles of the vehicle to ensure stability.
4. load shifting:
   In aerial work platforms, the load may shift during operation, particularly when the platform is moved or rotated. The distribution of the load between the axles must be taken into account to prevent tipping or imbalance of the vehicle.
5. Legal requirements:
   It is important to know and comply with the legal requirements and regulations regarding axle loads and gross vehicle weight. Violations of these regulations can result in fines and legal consequences.

In summary, axle load is a crucial factor in the safe and efficient use of truck-mounted or chassis-mounted aerial platforms. Compliance with the prescribed axle loads, proper load distribution and compliance with legal requirements are of great importance in order to avoid accidents and ensure the longevity of the equipment.

The towing capacity is an important parameter for heavy-duty trailers. It indicates how much weight can be placed on the trailer coupling or ball head of the towing vehicle without endangering the stability of the trailer.

The trailer tongue weight is a type of counterforce that transfers the weight of the trailer to the towing vehicle and ensures that the combination remains safe and stable on the road.

A correct trailer tongue load is crucial for safe driving with a trailer. If the tongue load is too low, the trailer can break out uncontrollably or "float", which can lead to dangerous driving situations. If the tongue load is too high, on the other hand, this can lead to an overload of the rear axle of the towing vehicle and negatively affect the driving characteristics.

The maximum trailer support load is specified in the vehicle registration document of the towing vehicle and must not be exceeded. To correctly set the trailer support load, the trailer should rest as horizontally as possible on the towing vehicle's towing device. If necessary, special support devices or scales can be used. Correctly setting the trailer support load contributes significantly to road safety and enables comfortable and controlled driving with a trailer.

A work diagram is a graphical representation of the possible applications of an aerial work platform or a forklift truck. It shows the maximum working height, the lateral reach and the load capacity depending on various parameters , such as the outreach and the position of the aerial work platform.

Work diagrams are important tools for the operator to ensure that the aerial work platform or forklift is operated in a safe and efficient area. They indicate which loads can be safely lifted and moved in which positions.

Work diagrams are usually prepared by the manufacturer of the aerial work platform or forklift truck and are included in the operator's manual or attached to the vehicle. The operator must familiarise himself with the work diagram before use and observe the safety limits to avoid accidents or damage.

In complex aerial work platforms or forklifts, the work diagrams can also be integrated electronically into the control panel so that the operator can read the relevant information directly. This helps to make the work process safer and more efficient.

The working height is an important parameter for aerial work platforms and describes the maximum height that the operator can reach with the aerial work platform.

It is usually given in meters and refers to the maximum working height for the operator of the aerial work platform.

The working height is made up of the platform height and the reach of the aerial work platform. The platform height is the height at which the work platform is located and can vary depending on the model. The reach is the horizontal distance that the aerial work platform can reach laterally from its location.

It is important to carefully check the working height of a boom lift to ensure it is sufficient for the task at hand. A working height that is too low may mean that not all work areas can be reached, while a working height that is too high may result in unnecessary costs. It is advisable to determine the working height precisely in advance and choose the appropriate model accordingly in order to work efficiently and safely.

The locking of work platforms is an essential safety element that serves to ensure the stability and safety of the machine and the workers at height.

Work platforms often have moving parts such as telescopic arms or joints that allow the platform to be moved into different positions. The locking mechanism is a mechanism that ensures that these moving parts are securely fixed in the desired position.

This is particularly important to prevent unintentional movement or lowering of the work platform, which could lead to dangerous situations. When the work platform is set to a certain height or position, the locks are activated to ensure that the work platform remains in that position, even when external influences, such as wind, occur.

The locking mechanism is therefore an essential part of the safety precautions of work platforms to minimize accidents and hazards for workers at height. It ensures that the work platform remains stable and safe so that work at height can be carried out safely and efficiently.

A boom is a mechanical component used on aerial work platforms and other machines. It is used to extend the reach of the work platform and thus allows access to hard-to-reach work areas.

Booms are available in various designs, e.g. as telescopic booms or articulated booms. Their robust construction and precise control make them an important element in height access technology. Our work platforms are equipped with high-quality and reliable booms that enable efficient and safe working at heights.

The boom angle is an important parameter for telescopic work platforms and refers to the angle of inclination of the telescopic boom.

The telescopic boom is the mechanical arm that supports the platform of the work platform and can be extended to reach different working heights.

The angle of the telescopic boom can vary depending on the model of aerial work platform and has a major impact on the reach and stability of the aerial work platform. A larger boom angle usually allows for greater lateral reach, while a smaller boom angle improves the stability of the platform.

When using a telescopic work platform, it is important to adjust the boom angle to the requirements of the work task. A larger angle makes it possible to reach hard-to-reach places, for example, while a smaller angle can be advantageous when working close to obstacles or in tight spaces.

Ground control refers to the ability to control a work platform directly from ground level without the operator being in the platform or cab.

This function is particularly useful when the working height has not yet been reached or when it is necessary to maneuver the machine on uneven terrain or in tight spaces.

Ground control allows the operator to precisely control the machine's travel movements while remaining at a safe distance from the work platform. This provides additional flexibility and safety while using the machine.

In ground-controlled aerial work platforms, there are special control units at ground level that allow the operator to control the travel movements (forward, backward, steering) as well as the raising and lowering of the platform. Operation is usually intuitive and simple, as it is carried out via joysticks or control panels with clear symbols.

The deadweight is the weight of a mobile elevating work platform, forklift truck or other vehicle for access to heights without any additional cargo or load.

It is the weight of the machine itself, including the operator's seat, cab, boom, platform or work basket and all other permanently attached components.

Deadweight plays an important role as it affects the lifting capacity and performance of the machine. The higher the deadweight, the less payload the machine can carry. Therefore, it is important to consider deadweight when selecting a boom lift or forklift for specific tasks to ensure the machine has the required lifting capacity.

The weight also affects the stability and maneuverability of the machine. A higher weight can increase stability, but can also limit maneuverability, especially on sensitive surfaces or in tight work areas.

Even when aerial work platforms are switched off near high-voltage power lines, they can still become charged.

Proper grounding is important to ensure the safety of people and machines. For this purpose, a grounding kit is used to divert the induced voltage that can be transmitted from switched-off power lines or transmission towers to the telescope of the aerial work platform. By diverting the voltage into the ground, potential damage is avoided and it is possible to work safely near power lines. The use of a grounding kit is an essential safety factor when working near high-voltage installations and helps to minimize accidents and hazards.

Direction detection is a feature built into some aerial work platforms, forklifts or other vehicles used for height access that allows the machine to automatically detect the direction of travel while driving.

This allows the machine to better control its movements and maneuver more safely.

The direction of travel is usually detected by sensors that monitor the movement of the wheels or the drive unit. When the machine moves forward, the direction detection detects this movement and adjusts the control accordingly. When the machine moves backwards, an appropriate adjustment is also made.

This feature is particularly useful for avoiding unintended movements or collisions. When the direction detection system detects that the machine is reversing, it can automatically reduce speed or emit an audible signal to warn the driver, increasing safety and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Direction of travel sensing is an important safety feature in powered access equipment and helps ensure that the machine can be operated efficiently and safely. However, it is important that the operator is aware of the direction of travel and does not use this feature as a substitute for their own attention and caution.

Free lift is a feature built into some forklifts or other lifting equipment that allows the forks to move vertically without the mast moving.

In other words, the free lift allows the forks to move upwards independently of the mast.

This feature is particularly useful when loading and unloading goods from shelves. When a forklift with free lift enters a low shelf, the forks can be raised without the mast touching the shelf. This also allows the forklift to be used in tight spaces or low passageways, as the free lift reduces the height of the load that the mast has to move.

Free lift is also beneficial when loads need to be lifted over obstacles or other forks. The independent movement of the forks allows them to slide over the obstacle while the mast remains in position.

However, it should be noted that not all forklifts have free lift. This feature is often available on special models or on certain lifting equipment. Before using a forklift with free lift, the operator must ensure that he is familiar with the features and operation of this feature to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Articulated boom technology is a key feature of many aerial work platforms and articulated telehandlers. It allows these machines to bend or rotate at different points to get around obstacles and reach hard-to-reach areas. Articulated boom technology consists of joints in the main boom or mast that allow the work platform to move laterally or vertically.

The articulated technology allows aerial work platforms to be used flexibly and in a variety of ways. They can make tight turns, for example to get around the corners of buildings or machines. The articulated technology also makes it possible to position the work platform at different angles in order to work at different heights and inclines.

Articulated technology is particularly advantageous in confined spaces or when there are obstacles. It enables operators to control the machines precisely and position them efficiently at the site. This increases productivity and minimizes the risk of collisions or damage.

It is important that operators thoroughly understand the articulated control technology and are able to use it safely. Correct use of this feature not only ensures efficient operation, but also the safety of the operator and others in the area. Before using aerial work platforms or articulated telehandlers with articulated control, operators should be properly trained and instructed in order to be able to operate the machines safely and efficiently.

The lifting height is the maximum height that an aerial work platform, forklift or other height access equipment can reach.
