Specifications include, but are not limited to: Platform/Insulated Bucket: The platform/insulated bucket shall be equipped with a self-leveling device, safety belt “hook-in” fitting, safety belt, and 180-degree hydraulic swivel to rotate the platform. Minimum working load of 500 pounds and minimum tipping load of 450 pounds in all positions. The height from the ground to the platform floor is 49 feet when mounted on a 1 ½ ton chassis. The working radius from the center line of rotation is 30 feet minimum. The overall height in the travel position is 13 feet maximum. The lower boom articulation is 0 degrees to 84 degrees. The upper boom articulation is -25 degrees to 85 degrees. Inner boom extension 103 inches. The rotation shall be a continuous 360 degrees. Minimum working load (pounds): ____________________ Minimum tipping load (pounds): ____________________ Height from ground to platform floor (feet): _____________________ Working radius from center line of rotation (feet): ____________________ Overall height in travel position (feet): ____________________ Lower boom articulation (degrees, highest to lowest): ____________________ Upper boom articulation (degrees, highest to lowest): ____________________ Inner boom extension (inches): ____________________ Comply Yes/No: ____________________ Hydraulic system: The hydraulic pump shall be driven by a hot shift PTO mounted to the transmission. It shall be of sufficient size to operate all functions. The system shall have double-acting hydraulic cylinders to operate the upper and lower booms; all cylinders equipped with pilot-operated check valves to hold the load in the event of system failure; rotation to be driven by a hydraulic motor; equipped with all lines, hose fittings, valves, filters, and reservoir required to perform the function of the platform. Comply Yes/No: ____________________ Controls: To be equipped with controls that can be operated from the platform and override controls that can be operated from the ground or truck platform; to have an engine start and stop switch located at the platform, and manual two-speed throttle control Comply Yes/No: ____________________ Emergency Controls: To be a part of the hydraulic system for the ability to lower the platform in an emergency due to power loss and/or accident. This is to be accomplished from a platform or at ground level, depending on the emergency situation. Comply Yes/No: ____________________ Lower Boom Assembly: Lower boom assembly to include a lower boom, compensation link, and hydraulic cylinder. The rectangular 8 inches by 10 inches steel lower boom is to be actuated by a double-acting cylinder with two integral holding valves. The lower boom and compensation link forms a parallelogram linkage to maintain the knuckle at a constant angle to the turret. The boom must be insulted. To get a higher reach, add a taller pedestal or 24-inch platform elevator.
