There are various types of aerial work platforms, mainly including scissor-type aerial work platforms, straight-arm aerial work platforms and curved-arm aerial work platforms, which each play a unique role in the maintenance of super-high-rise exterior walls.
The scissor-type aerial work platform has excellent stability. Its working platform is usually horizontally lifted and supported by a cross-type scissor-type structure. This structure allows the platform to remain stable during the lifting process, providing a safe and stable working environment for operators. When performing maintenance operations on some relatively flat areas of super-high-rise exterior walls that do not require large-scale movement, such as large-area glass curtain wall cleaning and exterior wall paint painting, the scissor-type aerial work platform can efficiently complete the task. Its operation is relatively simple, and operators can quickly get started, greatly improving work efficiency.
The straight-arm aerial work platform is known for its high operating height and long horizontal extension distance. Its arm is usually straight-extended, can be extended to a higher position, and has a long horizontal working distance. This feature allows it to easily cross obstacles and reach some difficult-to-reach areas during the maintenance of super-high-rise exterior walls. For example, when inspecting and repairing the exterior wall structure at the top of a super high-rise building, the straight-arm aerial work platform can accurately send the operator to the designated location, facilitating detailed inspection and maintenance work. Its powerful extension ability effectively expands the scope of operation and reduces the maintenance dead angle caused by limited position.
The flexibility of the articulated boom aerial work platform is its biggest advantage. Its boom is composed of multiple arms, which can be bent and stretched at multiple angles through joint connections. This allows the platform to shuttle freely in complex building shapes and adapt to various irregular exterior wall shapes. For special parts such as arcs and corners in super high-rise exterior walls, the articulated boom aerial work platform can easily cope with them. Operators can flexibly adjust the position and angle of the platform according to actual operation needs to ensure that maintenance work can be carried out accurately and efficiently.
