Atex Certified Temporary Suspended Access/Man-Riding Platform
2 metre air-driven temporary suspension platform certified for use in explosion proof environments to ATEX II 3G EEx c IIB T3
ALTA A 2m Ex / ASAP-4458
The air-driven ALTA platform «A» has been designed for temporary applications where operators and their work equipment must be lifted to work places at height.
It is perfectly suited to inspection and maintenance work on internal gas tank walls and other places with risk of explosion. Its design allows a certification for use in areas with risk of explosion according to ATEX area II 3G EEx c IIB T3.
Advantages
- Quick access to areas with explosive atmosphere
- Easy maintenance and inspection work at height
- Safe and ergonomic working position
- Rugged structure
- Safe and reliable hoists
- Very low and easy maintenance
- Easy to use
Safety devices
To ensure safe operation without danger to personnel and in accordance with the European standard EN 1808, the platform is fitted with the following safety devices:
... integrated in the TIRAK™ hoists
- Service brake
- Overspeed brake
- Overload safety device
- Manual emergency lowering in case of air pressure loss
... additional safety devices
- EMERGENCY STOP
- 2 BLOCSTOP™ BSA fall arrest devices
- Tilt detection device
- 2 upper limit switches
Main components
Platform
- 2 stirrups: hot dip galvanized steel
- Floor panel: aluminium
- Guard-rail: aluminium
Lifting mechanism
2 TIRAK™ XA-300P traction hoists with pneumatic motor drive (21), equipped with service brake and overload detection.
Suspension wire ropes
Galvanized steel wire ropes, one lifting wire rope (23) and one safety wire rope (24) per suspension point (certified by TRACTEL®).
Fall arrest device
The BLOCSTOP™ BSA fall-arrest device (22) engages on the safety wire rope (24) in the event of a failure on the lifting wire rope (manufactured by TRACTEL®). The BLOCSTOP™ also ensures the detection of a tilting platform.
Air preparation unit
The air preparation unit consists of a filter, a lubricator, a pressure regulator and a manometer. It protects the pneumatic motors and ensures reliable operation and a long life span.
Suspension points (option)
Traversing is ensured by two air-driven monorail trolleys; they can be adapted to I- or H-beam types, beam width 90 to 305 mm.
Controls
The lifting movements are controlled with two control levers (43 and 44) mounted on the guard-rail. Lateral movement of the traversing version is controlled via pendant control boxes.
