What is an aerial work platform?

The lifting vehicle for high-altitude operations, equipped with a specialized lifting device to elevate workers and equipment to a certain height, is known as an aerial work vehicle. Over the past century, foreign aerial work vehicles have achieved high technical levels, offering extensive working heights, a variety of specifications, rich structural types, and diverse functionalities. Overall, both technology and the market are highly mature. Typical products feature high-altitude operations, emergency response, rescue, and firefighting capabilities, with a working platform load capacity of up to 500kg and working heights exceeding 100m. They are equipped with various safety protection measures and are adaptable to operations in various sites. China's aerial work vehicle industry started late, beginning research and development in the 1960s and releasing commercial prototypes in the 1970s. With the deepening of reform and opening up, advanced foreign technology and products have been gradually introduced, leading to their application in sectors such as municipal, gardening, and electricity. However, the working height is only 35m, and the functionality is rather limited.
