Repair of high-rise buildings is not so simple. Such work always carries a risk to health and life. However, there are devices with which you can carry out all actions quickly and efficiently. One of them is a facade elevator.
Benefits
Among the advantages of the device are the following:
- Ability to perform work of any complexity.
- Repeated use, and, therefore, the duration of the service.
- Multifunctionality.
- Reasonable cost.
- Large strength stock.
- Various device sizes.
- Ease of transportation and use.
As you can see, the front elevator is indispensable for high-altitude work.
Fields of application
The presented product is intended mainly for repair or cleaning work at high altitude. One or two people can fit on such a platform. It has a fairly complex device. In addition, it has some technical requirements. During operation, be sure to.
Most often, a facade elevator is used in construction. Thanks to him, you can not only carry out repairs, but also transport construction materials to the top. In the same way, workers can be delivered to the site. And the fixture is used for welding on bridges, ships, dams and other structures for the repair of which standard methods cannot be applied.
Product Device
So, the front elevator has the following structure:
1. The platform on which, in fact, will be the person. In another way, it is called a cradle.
2. Consoles on the roof of the structure with which the platform will be suspended.
3. Cables or cables with a length of at least 100 meters.
4. Counterweights, the mass of which should be about 25 kg.
5. Catchers for insurance.
Naturally, such a product should have a control panel with which you can adjust the height and position of the platform. That is, the front elevator ZLP has a simple and intuitive device.
Specifications
The device has the following features:
- Working height to which the device can rise: 150 m.
- Maximum load capacity: about 300 kg.
- Diameter of the rope for lifting: at least 8 mm.
- Rise speed per minute: 5 m.
- Number of traction winches: 2
As for the dimensions of the platform, the facade building elevator may be different.
Product Specifications
The presented device can only be used if it meets the established standards. Front elevator - cradle - must meet the following technical requirements:
1. On the platform for one person provides a working area of ββ0.7 sq.m.
2. An anti-slip coating must be present on the cradle floor .
3. If the platform is single-hinged, then it has only one safety and hoisting rope. At the same time, the maximum load that she can lift is 120 kg. In double-suspended cradles, this parameter is 300 kg.
4. Any lift must be equipped with guards. Their height must be at least 1-1.20 m. However, the door is not provided in the fence.
5. In order for the cradle not to swing, it is necessary to attach the supports to the structure.
6. In order for the platform to move well on the ground, it is necessary to equip it with rollers.
Without compliance with the requirements, it is not recommended to use the lift.
Platform Operation Features
In order for the use of the device to be effective and safe, it is imperative to follow certain rules for working with it:
- First, the cradle needs to be assembled. How this is done, you can read in the instructions for the device. However, note that all connections must be strong. During the assembly process, you can not skip a single stage. Do not hurry.
- If the platform tilts significantly or the cable tension has been reduced, then it must be adjusted. People should not be allowed on such a structure.
- The construction cradle (front elevator) must be configured to perform a specific job. Only in this case you can achieve high efficiency.
- The presented technique cannot be fixed with a rope. At the same time, you need to hook the platform so that the cables do not touch the protruding parts of the structure. Otherwise, they can fray quickly, which threatens the safety and health of workers and others.
- Note that during operation, the temperature should not fall below -40 and rise above 40 degrees.
- Do not use the device in rainy weather. The fact is that in this case the floor of the cradle can become slippery. This factor can also threaten the safety of people.
- If work is carried out at an altitude of 10 m or more, then the wind speed should not exceed 14 meters per second.
- During operation, it is advisable not to leave any fire and explosive substances on the platform. Naturally, if it is necessary to paint the facade, then varnish or paint will have to be taken up. However, during operation, you should be as careful as possible.
- Workers who will work in a cradle must be additionally tied to the insurance rope. In the event of a platform break, people will be able to get out of it and not die.
In any case, each technical device requires a careful and careful attitude, compliance with all necessary safety rules. Good luck
