An aerial work platform mainly consists of the following parts:
1. Chassis system: including vehicle chassis, engine, transmission, traveling and braking systems, which provide driving and basic power.
2. Working device: telescopic/folding arm, linkage mechanism, luffing cylinder and slewing bearing, realizing lifting, luffing and slewing.
3. Working platform: manned platform, guardrails and platform leveling mechanism to ensure the safety and levelness of operators.
4. Hydraulic system: hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valve groups and pipelines, controlling lifting, slewing, leveling and other actions.
5. Electrical and control system: operating handles, console, limit switches, sensors and emergency stop devices, realizing motion control and safety protection.
6. Safety devices: overload protection, amplitude limit, inclination alarm, outrigger locking, interlock between upper and lower parts, emergency lowering device, etc.
7. Outrigger system: horizontal/vertical outriggers, outrigger cylinders and locking mechanisms to ensure the stability of the whole vehicle during operation.
