PLATFORM
They are designed with RITZGLAS® tubes to provide the electrician with a safe and convenient base for rubber glove and hot-stick work.
It can be quickly mounted to structures so that the electrician is vertically and horizontally well positioned.
These platforms quickly mount to the structure using two options:
- Fixed mount
For works that do not require frequent platform side position changes. The platform is fixed to the pole with the chain stretcher or to the structure through jaws.
- Pivot type
It allows the electrician to rotate 180° horizontally on the mounted platform and position it at left or right intermediate angles.
The board is 250 mm wide and is made of fiberglass, with non-slip floor surface, preventing accidental slips.
Its handrail and tripod are a support and mounting point for the safety belt fall arrest device.
Designed for pole mounting. To be mounted on metal structures, it must be fitted with its exclusive saddles, as shown in the platform accessory tables.
Insulating Platforms
It includes a 0.30 m insulation between the board and the pole-mounted saddle through two Ø 51 mm RITZGLAS® tubes, so the insulating platforms can be used in rubber glove and hot-stick operations in energized lines up to 34.5 kV.
Rated working capacity: 227 daN (500 lb).

Suspension Platform
It allows 180° rotation in the horizontal plane, so electrician can better position the platform without disassembling for further adjustments. It is commonly used in structures with reduced space where a conventional platform cannot be mounted.
Rated working capacity is 181 daN (400 lb) in aligned position and perpendicular to the structure. Capacity is reduced to 136 daN (300 lb) when positioned at any different angle.

0.25 x 0.51 m non-slip surface. When provided with adjustable hooks, they are used to be mounted to the structure.
This platform can be folded for easy transport and storage.
