- NISHIO – the leading Aerial Work Platforms equipment rental service (Scissor Lift, Boomlift, Personal Lift…) in Vietnam (Hanoi, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Da Nang, Quang Binh. Hue, Gia Lai, HCM, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An,…) An aerial work platform (AWP), also known as an aerial device, elevating work platform, cherry picker, bucket truck or mobile elevating work platform is a mechanical device used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas, usually at height. In Vietnam, there are 4 popular types of AWP Scissor Lift Boom Lift (Articulate & Telescopic) Atrium Lift Personal Lift In this article, we will introduce the function, advantage, and application of each models to you A scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform that is used to safely move workers vertically and to different locations in a variety of industries, including construction, retail, entertainment, and manufacturing1. It is a mobile-supported scaffold work platform that gets its name from its working mechanism, which consists of a stack of crossed scissor-like tubes (X-pattern) that raise and lower the platform2. Scissor lifts are commonly used for interior work jobs such as ceiling construction, sign hanging, and other maintenance projects. They have a lower platform height than other boom lifts and often reach as high as 20 – 50 feet at max height. A boom lift is a type of aerial lift designed to lift workers on construction sites, on farms, along utility lines, and elsewhere1. It consists of a platform or bucket attached to a hydraulic arm and a grounded, movable base. Boom lifts are a type of articulated platform lift that makes reaching difficult places and heights easier than ever. A boom refers to the arm-like piece that connects from the platform to the grounded base. It is an extensible crane-like arm that uses hydraulics to extend and contract to achieve the desired height. Boom lifts provide a secure workspace for working at greater elevations. This is a AWP with a structure consisting of a straight or folding boom mounted on a chassis with four stretchable and height-adjustable spider legs, allowing the platform to be raised, lowered and moved in many spatial directions. Atrium lifts have the advantage of being able to reach far, high and rotate around the axis, able to reach hard-to-reach places, especially in narrow or uneven spaces. However, Atrium lifts also have the disadvantage of having a smaller payload, narrower floor area, and more difficult to move and operate. Atrium lifts are often used in jobs such as painting protection, installing windows, roofs, ceilings… It is an AWP equipment with a structure consisting of a straight column mounted on a mobile chassis, allowing a person to be lifted up and down vertically. The personal lift has the advantage of being compact in size, easy to move and operate, and able to enter narrow spaces. However, personal lifts also have the disadvantage that they have a smaller loading capacity. Personal lifts are often used in jobs such as inspection, maintenance, electrical equipment installation, installing lighting or advertising board… Owning an AWP is not an easy thing, because it requires high initial investment costs, maintenance and operation costs are not small. Therefore, many businesses and individuals choose to rent an AWP instead of buying a new one. This is a smart and economical choice, because it offers the following benefits: Cost savings: When renting an AWP, you only need to pay for the time of use, without worrying about the cost of shopping, warranty, maintenance, tax, insurance, etc. You can also choose the right AWP for your needs and budget, without investing too much in a piece of equipment that may not be used as often. Flexibility and variety: When renting a AWP, you can choose different types of AWPs according to the requirements of the job. You can also change the AWP rental period according to your plan, not bound by long-term contracts or rigid terms. Quality and safety: When renting an AWP from a reputable and professional company, you can be assured of the quality and safety of the equipment. AWPs are periodically inspected and maintained to ensure stable and efficient operation. You also get technical support and advice on how to use AWP in the safest and most efficient way. Increase work efficiency: When you hire an AWP, you can take full advantage of the equipment’s capabilities to get the job done quickly and with quality. You do not have to spend time and effort transporting, installing, dismantling or repairing the AWP. You can also focus on your main job, without worrying about AWP-related problems. Thus, it can be seen that renting an AWP is a convenient and effective solution for many businesses and individuals. It is very common to rent a AWP for a day and there are many equipment rental companies that can fulfill this need. However, to ensure that you can receive AWP on time, you should notify the vehicle supplier in advance of the previous days. Because we need time to check the number of vehicles, quote the customer, prepare the paperwork, arrange the technician, check the machine condition, maintain the machine before handing over… Currently, there are two popular types of lifting equipment: Engine and Electric. Both types of lifting equipment have their own pros and cons, depending on the user’s needs and conditions of use. Engine Lifting Equipment: Use the internal combustion engine to generate power for the vehicle. Engine lifting equipment has the ability to operate strongly, stably and continuously for a long time. Engine lifting equipment is suitable for outdoor work, on difficult terrain, or require long distance. However, Engine lifting equipment also has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of fuel, causing environmental and noise pollution. Engine lifting equipment also has higher maintenance costs than electric forklifts. Electric Lifting Equipment uses batteries to power the machine. Electric lifting equipment is quiet, economical and environmentally friendly. Electric lifting equipment is ...

- Things you need to know when using a Boom Lift on the slope
- Boom lifts can go much higher than scissor lifts — up to 39.6m (130 feet) or more. They offer greater flexibility than scissor lifts, since the bucket rests on a hydraulic arm and can move in all directions. Meanwhile, boom lifts have smaller platforms than scissor lifts to keep the safe because it goes up higher than scissor lift. They are also ideal for jobs where the worksite is small or hard to access. Like scissor lifts, boom lifts aren’t recommended to use on a hill or incline. The center of gravity is higher with this machine than with many others, which increases the risk for a tip-over. However, it is possible to work on an incline as long as you don’t exceed the maximum slope with a safe working load for the boom lift. Safely driving a boom lift on a slope starts with knowing the lift’s maximum slope rating is very important. Construction Equipment A digital inclinometer can be used to measure the exact degree of a slope. If you don’t have one, place the board at least 3 feet long on a slope. Then, place a carpenter’s level on the board and raise the lower end of the board level until it is horizontal. Once you do that, complete these steps: Measure the distance to the ground. Divide the distance by the length of the board. Multiply the result by 100. This simple formula provides the percent of the slant. If the number exceeds the max slope rating, do not drive the lift on the slope. Instead, winch or hoist the lift across the sloped area. Keep in mind that max slope ratings can change due to ground conditions and weather. For example, mud or loose gravel can reduce traction and extend stopping distances. Driving speeds need to be reduced when crossing sloped or rough terrain as well. Proceed with caution why you drive a boom lift on a slope near drop-offs or cliffs. There are many things that you can do to safely use a boom lift on a slope, such as: ✓ Use a pre-operation checklist to inspect a lift before you use it. ✓ Make sure a lift’s tires are inflated to the proper pressure, as low or high pressure can impact a lift’s stability. ✓ Check the surrounding area for un-compacted fill, ditches, and holes and address these issues before you begin work. ✓ Only use a lift designed to climb slopes. ✓ Check the weather report before you start work; if inclement weather is on the horizon, you need to plan accordingly. ✓ Make sure operators and ground workers are trained and certified to use a boom lift. Construction Equipment A boom lift should never be used in winds that exceed 45km/hour (28 mph). When in doubt about whether to operate a boom lift in high wind conditions, use your best judgement, and always err on the side of caution. Furthermore, you should always check a worksite for overhead hazards, such as overhangs or high-voltage power lines. As a general rule of thumb, stay at least 50 feet away from electrical wires on steel towers and 30 feet away from wires on wooden or concrete poles. Last but not least, remember that using an Articulating Boom Lift is safer than using a Telescopic Boom Lift on the slope. A boom lift safety training course can make a world of difference. By receiving boom lift safety training, you can learn how to properly operate a boom lift on slopes, lower your risk of boom lift accidents, and more. NISHIO also offers training lessons for safe operation to your operators. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us!
