Reliable rental service providers will ask open questions to ensure that the recommended equipment is a satisfactory solution.
If you are not familiar with leasing mobile elevating work platforms, it is very important to find equipment suppliers.
Good equipment suppliers can provide value-added services to improve on-site operation capabilities.
Consistently provide products that meet the needs, and make a positive contribution to saving labor and the duration of equipment rental.
The following is a list of some project information that can be provided to the equipment supplier to ensure that the lessor gets the correct completion of the work:
What type of work the equipment will do
The working style affects the common functions of the equipment. Special options and accessories are also available to customize the machine for certain applications such as material handling or secondary protection. The number of people that need to be on the platform is also important. Different MEWPs have different basket sizes, entry points, and operator and load-bearing capacity levels. Finally, understanding the operator’s own experience and training level is essential for a reliable leasing provider. This helps determine whether operator training or familiarization training is required before starting work.
Load capacity
The capacity of the MEWP basket ranges from 300 pounds to over 1,000 pounds. According to the ANSI A92 design standard, increasing the basket overload will prevent the equipment from operating. Calculating the equipment load is essential to avoid exceeding the rated capacity of the equipment. Nowadays, applications that require heavy tools, material lifting, and multiple operators are so common that the capacity of many standard baskets usually starts at 1,000 pounds.
What are the obstacles on the job site
Fixed obstacles, such as water, ditches, or solid structures, indicate the vertical and horizontal ranges required to enter work at high places. Some also provide a special upside-down function to place the operator's basket around an elevated obstacle in a narrow working environment. In this case, the machine's chassis size and maneuverability (such as turning radius, proportional control, and other steering options) may also be critical to field operations.
Are there any abnormalities at the work site
Explain carefully to the rental provider the environmental aspects in which the equipment will operate. They should be familiar with all the different functions and limitations outlined in the machine operator's manual. These may indicate anything from noise and emissions from densely populated construction sites to extreme temperature performance or corrosion protection.
Power settings
Consider where the equipment can be used (indoor or outdoor), whether it is easy to get fuel or electricity, and whether it requires long-distance travel or long-term use. These factors will guide a reasonable balance between drive performance, cost, energy efficiency and availability.
How high need to be reached or work
The required working height is an obvious and important selection criterion for MEWP. In the United States, the actual working height should be 6 feet (representing the range that an ordinary worker standing on the platform can extend his arms straight), so the working height is 60 feet. For example, the boom lift height is actually 66 feet.
The need for horizontal extension is also a deciding factor and may indicate the need for boom lift. Other MEWPs, such as scissor lifts, self-propelled vertical lifts and pushable lifts, have almost no horizontal reach beyond any extended deck product. The working area that each boom lift can enter depends on its vertical height and horizontal extension capacity (usually called its range of motion or working range). The range of motion chart graphically depicts the arc-shaped area in which each boom can be executed, and placed on the graph, the access capability of the device can be easily determined.
Where will the equipment be used
Whether you are working on a single site or on multiple sites, you can show the flexibility of the model. Certain devices provide the versatility to perform various tasks in a variety of different environments, such as AC-driven hybrid machines. Other products, such as super straddle personnel lifts or vertical mast lifts, are designed to optimize work in specific applications.
Whether the work is indoor, outdoor or combined use, it will affect the choice of power supply, such as AC, DC, dual energy or internal combustion engine, accessibility, for example, any weight restrictions on floor weight or minimum retractable size of doorways, topographical properties And slope.
