The lifting platform mod. PEP 8400 was designed and built to lift a fixed number of operators for maintenance and assistance operations on the truck.
It consists of a basement, a lifting system and a operative platform.
The basement is composed of a fixed part linked to the frame of the truck and a moving part connected to it by a thrust-bearing block in order to allow a rotation of 180° of the lifting device.
The fixed part of the basement has four stabilizers, each of them are activated by an double acting oleo dynamic cylinder, which allows a higher stability to the truck when platform is lifted.
The lifting platform mod. PEP 8400 was designed and built to lift a fixed number of operators for maintenance and assistance operations on the truck.
The referring normatives used for the designing and manufacturing of the PEP 8400 lifting platform is the European-norm EN 1915 (Aircraft ground support equipment).
The lifting platform is furnished with:
stabilizers control panel;
Control panel on the working platform.
Stabilizers safety block – lifting device: it stops the lifting of the platform in case the stabilizers haven’t been correctly placed on the ground.
Accidental truck moving during operation: Turns off the truck engine when hand brake is removed, or when the gas pedal is accidentally pushed with stabilizer still in position.
Maximum pressure of the valve on lifting cylinders: avoids the lifting of the platform in case the maximum weight is exceeded.
Valve blocking of all the oleo dynamic actuators: avoids accidental movements of the components of the truck in case the flexible connections pipes brake.
