A lifting and transmission group vehicles operating under heavy load are also platforms. Load lifting platforms are machines which are used in factories for the purpose of carrying material on an assembly line and designed for heavy working conditions. In general, the bodies are steel construction. The platforms are equipped with hydraulic lifting devices to increase the load on a certain level. All of the platforms manufactured in various models have safety valves to protect both the vehicle itself and the elements that operate it in order to avoid any accidents. Nevertheless, hoisting platforms are used for heavy duty and there is always a risk of danger. Therefore, platforms should be kept under control in terms of employees' health and property safety.

There are many types of load lifting platforms. For example, vehicle lifting platform, scissor loading platform, single scissor platform, multi scissor platform, low platform, mobile platform and so on. However, no matter which type is used, the enterprises that use the platform in their activities in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Law have the responsibility to control them at certain intervals. In case of an accident, it is absolutely necessary to check whether the platform is regularly checked. Defects identified and remedied during these checks are preventive in order to avoid any future hazards.

Inspection and test organizations are also examining whether the inspection reports made before the platform inspections are carried out and if any problems have been solved beforehand.

Our company conducts periodic inspections and inspections of platforms within the scope of periodic controls of lifting and conveying machines in compliance with the legal regulations in force and standards published by national and international organizations. This A few standards considered in the studies are:

• TS EN 280 + A2 Mobile work platforms that can be upgraded - Design calculations - Balance criteria - Construction - Safety - Inspection and tests
• TS EN 1495 + A2 Platforms - Columnar work platforms
• Steel wire ropes - Safety - Section 12385: Operation and maintenance information
• TS EN 13157 + A1 Cranes - Safety - Hand-driven lifting equipment
• TS EN 818-6 + A1 Short link chain - For lifting purposes - Safety - Section 6: Chain slings - Technical specification for use and maintenance information to be supplied by the manufacturer
