Telescopic Boom Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) is a type of mobile lifting work platform that uses a telescopic boom structure to provide height and horizontal access. It is a type of mobile lifting work platform. It uses a multi-section telescopic boom to achieve vertical and diagonal lifting, and is widely used in construction, maintenance, power line inspection, tree pruning, and other scenarios that require height operations. Compared with articulated or scissor-type platforms, the telescopic boom design is known for its straight-line extension capabilities, suitable for operations that require maximum height and long-distance coverage.
The main advantage of telescopic boom aerial work platforms is their efficient coverage and stability. Its boom is retracted by a hydraulic or electric system, and the working height is usually between 10 and 40 meters, and even higher models can reach more than 50 meters, and the horizontal outreach can reach 15-20 meters, depending on the equipment model and configuration. For example, some high-end models (such as those from Manitou or JLG) are equipped with a 5-foot or longer jib (arm), which further enhances flexibility. The platform can usually carry 2-3 people or a load of about 250-900 kg, and is equipped with an automatic leveling system to ensure stability at different angles. In addition, some models support rough terrain operations, are equipped with four-wheel drive and pneumatic tires, adapt to outdoor uneven ground, and are widely used in building exterior wall maintenance or power line inspection.
From a technical point of view, the design of straight arm platforms focuses on safety and ease of operation. The equipment is usually equipped with overload sensors, tilt sensors and emergency stop buttons to prevent the risk of tipping due to overload or unstable ground. The operator can control the movement through the control panel or chassis on the platform, and some models support movement when the platform is raised (Type 3 MEWP), which improves work efficiency. Modern equipment also integrates digital technology, such as real-time monitoring systems to optimize arm extension and load distribution. In addition, the straight arm platform can be equipped with power sockets or compressed air interfaces to support the use of aerial electric drills or pneumatic tools, which is particularly suitable for telecommunications or industrial maintenance tasks.
However, there are some limitations to straight boom aerial work platforms. They are large in size and require a large space for operation, making them difficult to use in narrow indoor areas or crowded construction sites. In addition, there is a high risk of crushing during aerial work, especially when close to fixed structures (such as steel frames or pipelines), where operators may be trapped between the platform and the object, and protective devices or secondary protection systems are required to reduce the risk. Equipment costs and maintenance costs are also high, which may be a heavy burden for small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, there are strict requirements for operator training and qualifications, such as the requirement to hold a high-risk work permit in some areas (such as WP licenses in Australia).
From the development trend, straight boom aerial work platforms are moving towards intelligence and greenness. AI-driven automatic navigation and obstacle detection technologies are being introduced to reduce human errors and improve safety. Electric drive models (such as MEC's NetZero series) are increasingly suitable for indoor or urban environments due to their zero emissions and low noise characteristics, meeting the needs of sustainable development. In addition, the modular design allows for customized configurations based on site conditions, such as adding stabilizing legs or lightweight materials to accommodate special scenarios such as railway or aviation maintenance. In the future, with the integration of 5G and IoT technologies, the straight-arm platform may realize remote operation and real-time data analysis, further improving efficiency and safety. In general, the straight-arm aerial work platform occupies an important position in the field of aerial work with its powerful height and coverage capabilities. With the advancement of technology, its application prospects will be more extensive.
