Electric straight arm: A choice of high efficiency and safety

In the modern industrial and construction fields, high-altitude operations are frequent and the requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. As an efficient and safe operation device, the electric straight arm is playing an increasingly important role and has also become a favorite in many industries. Whether it is a construction site with numerous high-rise buildings or a maintenance site of sophisticated and complex industrial facilities, the electric straight arm, with its efficient and safe performance, provides a reliable guarantee for high-altitude operations.

I. Safety first, it provides a guarantee for the operation.

The electric straight arm equipment prioritizes safety and is equipped with a series of comprehensive safety devices. Once the tilt alarm device detects that the safety angle of the entire machine has been exceeded, it will immediately issue an alarm to remind the operators to adjust in a timely manner and avoid the dangers caused by the tilting of the equipment. In the event of an emergency, the lifting cylinder safety valve can quickly lock the cylinder to prevent the platform from falling out of control, adding an extra layer of safety protection for the operators. The setting of the emergency device is even more crucial. In case of an emergency, it provides a reliable descending path for the operators, ensuring that they can return to the ground safely. In terms of the design structure, the boom can extend, retract, change its amplitude, and rotate smoothly, and it is also equipped with a buffer device. The electric articulated boom aerial work platform adopts reverse current braking and mechanical parking braking, which is simple to operate and reliable in terms of safety. The service brake is automatically compensated, and the brake is a disc brake. The cylinder is equipped with a balance valve or a hydraulic lock to ensure that the cylinder will not move automatically, and the connection between the cylinder and the balance valve as well as the hydraulic lock is rigid.

The electric articulated arm has a relatively fast lifting speed, and the machine is equipped with an automatic walking function. Whether it's lifting, moving forward, backward, turning, or rotating, all these actions can be continuously completed by just one person during high-altitude operations. Compared with traditional hydraulic platforms, it significantly improves work efficiency. Moreover, it reduces the number of operators and their labor intensity. Operators can also, while the platform is rising, operate the articulated arm to extend and position it horizontally, quickly reaching the installation location. The precise positioning system also reduces the time spent on adjusting the position, enabling the operation to proceed more continuously.

II. Stable and Progressive Hydraulic System

The hydraulic components and control components in the electric articulated boom aerial work platform are all from well-known brands and have a very high degree of reliability. Its hydraulic system has the functions of automatic pressure compensation and load sensing, which is to ensure that the oil pump will not be damaged due to overload. There is a safety valve installed in the hydraulic circuit to prevent the abnormal increase of pressure in the hydraulic components. The leveling of the working bucket adopts a hydrostatic leveling system. Compared with the traditional electro-hydraulic leveling, the hydrostatic leveling system operates more smoothly and has higher reliability. Most importantly, it can avoid misoperations caused by electrical failures.

III. Applications in Multiple Scenarios

The high efficiency and safety features of electric straight arm equipment have enabled it to be widely applied in multiple fields. In the field of construction, during the construction stage of the main body of a building, such as window installation, and in later tasks like ceiling installation and wall painting, the electric straight arm can, relying on its flexible working height and range, perfectly meet the requirements of different construction links. This ensures that the construction proceeds efficiently and safely. In the field of industrial maintenance, the electric straight arm also plays an important role in high-altitude operation scenarios such as the maintenance of tall and complex equipment in factories, pipeline inspection and repair, and lamp replacement. It can quickly and safely transport maintenance personnel to high places of the equipment, making the inspection and maintenance work more convenient and efficient, and helping enterprises maintain normal production and operation. In municipal engineering, for tasks such as street lamp maintenance and traffic sign replacement, the electric straight arm, by virtue of its own advantages, has become a reliable choice for safe high-altitude operations. Relying on its high-efficiency performance, reliable safety guarantees, and wide range of application scenarios, the electric straight arm equipment has rightfully become an efficient and safe choice for high-altitude operation platforms. With the continuous progress of technology, electric straight arm equipment will continue to be optimized and upgraded in the future, bringing better solutions for more high-altitude operations.
