These machines, which are named as columned work platforms in legal regulations and related standards and are among the lifting and conveying group vehicles, are generally known as automatic scaffolding or mobile work platform on the market. Columnar work platforms are mostly used in the construction of tall buildings. According to the need, such as hydraulic and pinion gear types are used. It is very useful for exterior siding of buildings and some mechanical works.

The major advantages of columnar work platforms are that they are safe, efficient and save labor and time. Installing and pouring these platforms takes place in a short time compared to other facade systems. In addition, it can move easily on the employees and provides an ergonomically comfortable working environment. One of its advantages is its load bearing capacity. In this way, the loads are easily raised with the employees. The only drawback is that they are costly. Furthermore, if it is not installed properly and used properly, it leads to more risky results than other façade systems.

For this reason, improper bolt connections during installation, improper mounting of moving parts, failure of stable connections and stability, and installation by unauthorized persons pose a danger to columned work platforms. In this respect, the minimum requirements for health and safety of all construction equipment and equipment used in the enterprises in the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment must also be complied with on columned work platforms.

Columnar work platforms are also among the equipments that carry heavy loads and create a danger for human health and property safety and regular inspections are required.

Our company, lifting and conveying machines within the framework of periodic controls columned work platforms conducts regular inspections and inspections in accordance with the relevant legal regulations. About this A few standards are based on:

• TS EN 1495 + A2 Platforms - Columnar work platforms

• TS EN 280 + A2 Mobile work platforms that can be upgraded - Design calculations - Balance criteria - Construction - Safety - Inspection and tests
