There are certain areas on the buildings which are in general not in reach of the climbers both in the construction phase and during the maintenance too but these could be managed somehow with the help of aerial work platforms, also, known as lifted work platforms. You must be thinking that how an aerial platform could lift a person to this height? Is it a roving mat? No the aerial platform has a metallic base covered with rails or cage and this platform is pulled up steadily with the help of a mechanized arm.
The further control of the platform is controlled by the person standing on the top of the platform through the control room located, if the individual wants to move upwards or wants to descend the choice completely lies with him.
The aerial platforms are available in various types few aerial platforms could be handled from the base too, as they have a control room at the base. These platforms could be either towed with the vehicles or could be managed with hydraulics or pneumatics. The benefit of working with aerial platform is that it will keep the working out of the public path. Also, these platforms could best support in the times of emergency and fire brigade working. People who sometimes get stuck accidently at places like cliffs, tall building or other heights which generally are risky could be evacuated with the help of aerial platforms.
The heights catered by the aerial platforms are exclusive from the work specification of the elevators and lifts. The other type of support offered by the working platforms is that they can carry heavy materials safely at extreme heights. This equipment is used to pull up lighter load but in case of need, it can also pull certain amount of weight.
