EWP Repair & Maintenance

Operating a boom lift requires proper training and certification. Always conduct a pre-operation inspection, understand the controls, and follow safety protocols outlined in the operator’s manual. Never exceed weight limits, maintain safe speeds, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Yes, a boom lift can tip over if it’s not operated correctly or if it exceeds its maximum load capacity. Adhere to weight limits, avoid sudden manoeuvers, and ensure the ground beneath the lift is stable and level. Always use outriggers when necessary.

You can but it’s not safe to operate a scissor lift while it’s being charged. Follow manufacturer recommendations for charging, which typically advise against using the lift during charging to prevent electrical hazards and ensure the integrity of the charging process.

The charging time for a scissor lift depends on factors such as battery capacity, charger specifications, and the current charge level. Charging can take 6 to 16 hours. Refer to the equipment’s manual for specific charging instructions and times.

The operational hours of a scissor lift on a single charge can vary, but most can typically operate for 6 to 8 hours continuously depending on the model and the conditions under which it is used. Factors such as the lift’s age, battery health, and the intensity of the operations can affect this duration.

Yes, a scissor lift can tip over if the weight isn’t balanced correctly, or if the worker leans too far out of the lift – the whole machine can tip over and fall. Strong winds can also be especially risky for scissor lifts, so it’s important for workers to be careful when the weather is bad. It can also tip over when it’s operated on uneven or sloped surfaces, exceeds its load capacity, or if proper safety measures aren’t followed.

Scissor lifts are designed for use on flat, stable surfaces. Using a scissor lift on a slope can be dangerous and may increase the risk of tipping over. However, there are instances where certain models are designed to operate on inclines. In such cases, it can be safe to use them on a slope, provided you stay within the scissor lift’s maximum working angle to prevent accidents. If it’s necessary to work on a slope, consult the lift’s manual and consider alternative safety measures or equipment.

The maximum height a boom lift can reach depends on the specific model and design. Boom lifts are available in various configurations, including articulating and telescopic booms, each with different maximum reach heights. The most compact boom lift can lift up to 7 meters, whereas specialised models can reach up to 180 meters.

The lifespan of scissor lift batteries varies based on factors such as usage patterns, maintenance, and battery type. Generally, a battery is thought to have decent longevity if it can last somewhere between 2 to 5 years.

An aerial lift inspection is a thorough check to make sure your aerial lift is safe and working well. It involves looking at all the mechanical, electrical, and structural parts of the lift to ensure everything meets safety standards.

You should handle aerial lift repairs as soon as you notice any problems. Regular maintenance checks can help catch issues early on. Keeping up with routine maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs.

An aerial lift service includes everything from inspections and preventive maintenance to repairs and adjustments. This means lubricating parts, changing filters, and testing all functions to make sure your lift runs smoothly.

Boom lift inspections are super important to keep your equipment safe and efficient. Regular checks help find any wear and tear, and potential issues, and ensure everything complies with safety regulations, which helps prevent accidents.

Boom lift maintenance covers regular tasks like lubricating moving parts, checking the hydraulic system, inspecting electrical components, and making sure the structure is sound. This keeps your lift running longer and safer.
