Scissor platform with on board controls
Since for these types of platforms the lifting of the operator is also foreseen, it is necessary to guarantee the fulfillment of the additional mandatory safety requirements of the EN 1570-1 standard regarding the platform itself, which provides that:
- near the control, there must be a safety zone for the operator near the controls of at least 0.5 x 0.6 m
- the control must be fixed on a handrail at a height of about 1100 mm
- in addition to the control placed on the platform floor, there is an additional emergency stop to be fixed on the ground on a column or fixed to the wall
Furthermore, depending on the installation location, additional safety devices (parapets, bellows, blinds, etc.) may be required.
