When the boom or scissor lift is elevated, the machine is less stable, and driving at an excessive speed could cause the AWP to tip over. Accordingly, a \u201climit switch\u201d or \u201cproximity switch\u201d automatically triggers a message communicated to the onboard computer that the access platform is in an elevated position. Instead of the maximum speed of perhaps 6 km\/hour, the computer automatically limits the maximum speed to what is called \u201celevated drive speed\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-steps-at-first-check\">Safety Steps at First Check<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"rental-wp-default-block rental-theme-block-default-margin\"><div class=\"container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Elevated Drive Speed for Aerial Work Platforms | Manlift Group\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-icn-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tYyfW6xRNRw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>At Manlift, we test to make certain that this elevated drive speed restriction is operational in a specified area of our yard. We do this as part of the first check responsibility as soon as the machine comes back off-hire. During this first check, the AWP is timed as it is driven with the&nbsp;<a><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manliftgroup.com\/en\/rental\/aerial-work-platforms\/articulated-boom-lifts\"><strong>boom<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manliftgroup.com\/en\/rental\/aerial-work-platforms\/scissor-lifts\"><strong>scissor lift<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;in an elevated position over a set distance of 10 to 20 meters. That way, our first checker can make absolutely certain that the elevated drive speed as specified by the manufacturer is not exceeded. The checker records the result on the first check document so that we know whether or not it is within the safe speed parameters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>If the checker does notice any discrepancy, it is flagged for the mechanical engineers in the workshop to make the required adjustments to ensure that the elevated drive speed is in full compliance with the manufacturer\u2019s safe speed limit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>It is of the utmost importance to take these safety precautions and check that the elevated drive speed is set properly. Once the equipment is on a work site, we recognize that operators are unlikely to make this check. Carrying out this essential test is but one example of how Manlift, as the owner of the access platform, takes responsibility for ensuring our equipment can be safely operated before we hand it over to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elevated drive speed for Aerial work platforms: It goes without saying that you can drive Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs) forward and reverse, like just about any vehicle.
