Suspended Platform Zlp 800

Suspended scaffolds are platforms suspended by ropes, or other non-rigid means, from an overhead structure. Because two-point scaffolds are the most common type of suspended scaffold, this eTool uses the Two-Point module to describe requirements that apply to all suspended scaffolds.Suspended scaffolding consists of a platform suspended from above by cables and stirrups on each side of the platform or a single basket with one motor. Swing stages vary in stage lengths between 3′ and 60′ and can carry loads between 750 lbs. to 1500 lbs for men and equipment.Make sure that all safety equipment, stops, override switches and brakes function properly. Prevent contact between welding or grinding equipment and wire safety or suspension ropes. Secure hand tools to the platform. Make sure that the power source is secured and properly grounded.
