There is a great ease when using a scissor lift, because the ease of working and the lift basket's security provides peace of mind while trying to perform tasks that could have otherwise required working off the step of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this machine make it the right alternative for performing jobs from heights.
Nearly all scissor lifts are powered electrically by batteries which have been mounted directly onto the machine. These batteries will need to be charged following a long shift or after sitting for extended periods without use. It is a simple task to charge the batteries. This could be carried out without any specialized tools or equipment and requires no heavy labor.
In order to prepare the scissor lift for charging, park the machine near an electrical outlet. Make sure you are doing this in a well-ventilated place. Then, in order to prevent another operator from driving away with the lift plugged in, press the emergency shut-off switch. The emergency shut off switch is the big red button located in the lift basket, near the control box or the charger. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Often, older units would have the charger mounted on the rear of the lift.
The AC extension cord should next be plugged into the charger. Be sure to charge in a well ventilated place and plug the cord into an electrical outlet. So as to prevent accidental damage from being run over, the length of the electrical cord on the battery charger is intentionally short. This is because if any excess length were to drop out of the battery charger storage area when in use, extreme danger can likely happen.
Tower cranes enable the construction industry to build several incredible structures. These cranes have been designed to reach ever-increasing heights. Tower cranes provide the means to raise and move building parts, materials and tools all around a construction location. There are various parts that assemble a tower crane when they are put together. Putting a tower crane together utilizes various pieces of construction equipment.
Base
The tower crane base is normally made from a steel unit. The units' base attaches to a custom pad made of concrete. This set-up gives the structure stability. Overall, the construction should be engineered and built well in order to operate at optimum safety.
Mast
The tower crane's mast provides the machine with its overall height. The mast is constructed out of separate steel sections that are attached together. The amount of parts determines the crane's height. Usually, a tower crane has a design that allows the mast to grow during construction by adding more parts as the building process goes on. This way the crane's height could be specified, ensuring it has adequate height to safely and efficiently perform the required work.
Slewing Unit/Top Climber
At the top of the mast is the slewing unit. It houses the motor and machinery which allows the crane to rotate. A top climber is the piece of machine that enables the mast to grow. The top climber is situated just beneath the slewing unit. Hydraulic rams inside the top climber enable the slewing unit to be disconnected from the mast by raising it higher.
Boom
"Boom" is a term which particularly refers to the working arm of a tower crane. The boom is made of steel parts attached together, that extend out from the top of the slewing unit, parallel to the ground. There is a trolley attached to the underside that can extend the length of the boom. This trolley has the hoisting device.
