The TL34 is a trailer mounted work platform with a 2-man cage giving access to maximum
height of 12.20m. It offers safe, versatile and easy access for two m en plus tools up to a total
of 215Kg. Its unique boom configuration allow s this height to be reached while still offering
com pact closed dimensions and exceptional manoeuvrability. It is manufactured from steel
hollow sections conforming to BSEN 10025-2004. All joints are fully welded by Metal Inert Gas
(MIG) or Manual Metal Arc (MMA) processes. The main pivots are set in bushed housings.
The bushes are self-lubricating for minimum maintenance and long life.
The platform is powered by a 12V DC battery pack operating an electric motor which in turn
drives a hydraulic pump. This provides a maximum hydraulic pressure output of 165 Bar max.
Battery powered models are fitted with an ‘on-board’ battery charger. Limit switches are fitted
to the stabilisers thereby ensuring that the boom s cannot be elevated unless the stabilisers
are first deployed. Machines equipped with hydraulic stabilisers are also fitted with a limit
switch on the boom s to ensure that the stabilizers cannot be operated when the boom s are
elevated. Lift is provided by single acting hydraulic cylinders on the top and bottom boom and
rotation is achieved by the use of a hydraulic motor driving a pinion via a gearbox.
Control is provided by a live hydraulic system . Lift is controlled from monoblock bank valves,
mounted in the cage and in the control cabinet at the ground, which allows precise control of
the two platform functions (Lift and Rotate). The lift cylinders are fitted with solenoid operated
check valves which ensure that in the event of hose failure, the platform will not descent
without deliberate action being taken to lower the platform. The lift cylinders are also fitted
with a flow control valve to control the rate at which the platform descends.
All equipment at ground level except the rotation motor is situated on the cabinet on the side
of the platform.
Facility is provided for lowering the platform at ground level in the case of any emergency
