INTRODUCTION

The UpRight TL49K is a class leader, offering several features as standard that other manufacturers only provide as optional extras.

These include powered basket rotation and fully proportional hydraulic controls, at both basket and ground level.

The third flick boom, with 130 DEGREES working arc, guarantees access to the most hard to reach places, while the 90 DEGREES basket rotation provides the precision positioning that is vital for working in tight spaces.

UpRight Powered Access has a global reputation for innovation and a proud heritage in the design and manufacture of high quality powered access equipment.

The company was founded in the UK more than 25 years ago, on the principle of constantly improving service excellence for end users.

Every model in our growing range of versatile, trailer mounted units is a class leader and together they have set new industry benchmarks.

Our commitment to research and design, plus 250,000sq ft of same site fabrication, build and support capacity, mean UpRight can offer complete solutions to meet even the most demanding access applications.

UpRight has third party accreditation to quality standard ISO 9001 and the full range carries the CE mark, complying with or exceeding all relevant standards and EC directives.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

The UpRight TL49K is of the parallel linkage vertical boom design, mounted on a road towable trailer. The unique, yet very simple boom configuration gives the maximum safety and control ability combined with a robust construction to withstand a heavy working environment

The TL49K machine is designed for two man capacity (200 kg S.W.L.).

The machine incorporates a bottom boom with tie-rod, a short vertical boom and a top boom with a telescope section. The TL49K also has an independent hydraulically operated flick-out boom and rotating cage for extra manoeuvrability.

The hydraulic system is of a failsafe design throughout, with built in hydraulic lock valves on all of the rams as a precaution against hose failure. The machine is controlled by means of proportional manual controls of the ‘direct hand’ lever operating type. These valves are located at both the base and in the cage, as standard.

Electrically operated emergency lowering valves are fitted as standard to allow the machine to be lowered from the base and basket.

The hydraulically operated outriggers are fitted with load sensing interlocks, to prevent the booms from being raised without the outriggers being extended and under load. An interlock prevents the hydraulic outriggers being accidentally retracted while the booms are raised. A simple system of warning lights show the power supply is on and each of the outriggers is under load.

WARNING NOTICES

1.DO NOT operate this machine unless you have been fully trained in its safe use.

2.DO NOT operate the machine on soft, slippery or sloping ground unless adequate precautions have been taken.

The stabilisers are designed to operate on firm level ground with a minimum bearing strength of 50N/cm2.

The maximum load imposed by an outrigger is 12.5kN.

Advice should be obtained from UpRight as to the type of supports and precautions required before attempting to operate the machine outside these parameters.

3.DO NOT use any equipment in the basket to increase the reach or working height of the machine, e.g. ladders.

4.DO NOT fit any additional equipment to the machine that would increase the wind loading, e.g. notice boards.

5.DO NOT use the machine for any application that may produce special loads or forces: the manufacturer, UpRight Powered Access, must be consulted for approval of special applications prior to use.

6.DO NOT use the machine close to live electrical conductors. The minimum safe working distance for a machine working near overhead power cables is the maximum extended length of the booms plus 15 metres, measured with the booms pointing towards the lines, i.e. safe working distance for the TL49K is 24 metres. It is the operator‘s responsibility to ensure that, when working in the vicinity of live overhead high-voltage lines, the minimum safe working distance is maintained. Erect a simple barrier tape at the safe distance.

15m

24m26m

7.WORKING CLOSE TO POWER CABLES – if work has to be carried out at less than the safe working distance, the operator must ensure that the electricity supply has been switched off. Before commencing work, a written permit to work must be obtained from the owners of the power cables or the responsible authority.

508159-000

TL49K

WARNING NOTICES

8.DO NOT operate the machine unless all four outriggers are down and in full contact with the ground. The machine must be level and the wheels lifted visibly clear of the surface before the booms are raised.

9. DO NOT move the machine with the basket raised and never allow cage or booms to slew into the path of oncoming vehicles.

10. DO NOT operate the machine if the wind speed exceeds 12.5 m/s. Be aware that, when working near high buildings or structures, shielding and funnelling effects may cause high wind forces on days when the nominal wind speed in the open is low. Wind speed can either be measured from the work platform with a hand held anemometer or estimated using the Beaufort Scale.

BEAUFORT WIND SPEED SCALE

The Beaufort Scale of wind force is accepted internationally and is used in communicating weather conditions. It consists of numbers 0 - 12, each representing a certain strength of velocity of wind at 10m(33ft.)aboveground in the open.

Approximate corrections for wind speeds at other heights are:

 

 

2m subtract 30%;

 

 

3m subtract 20%;

 

 

6m subtract 10%

 

 

15m add 10%;

 

 

30m add 25%
