Abstract: The aerial work platform comprises a chassis (2), optionally a turret (4) mounted pivotably on the chassis, a mechanism (8) for lifting a work platform that is mounted on the chassis or the turret, and a control station (50) arranged on the chassis (2) or the turret (4). The control station comprises: members (52) for controlling the lifting mechanism and optionally the rotation of the turret, a validation member (54), the control members (52) being inhibited in the absence of simultaneous actuation of the validation member, and a handle (70). The mutual arrangement thereof makes it possible to hold the handle (70) and to simultaneously actuate the validation member (54) with a same hand while simultaneously actuating any one of the control members (52) with the other hand.

Abstract: The aerial work platform comprises a control console (30) for moving the platform (20) to a working position at a height and for moving the chassis (2) on the ground in the forward (FAV) and backward (FAV) directions. To avoid confusing these two directions of movement because of the variable orientation of the console (30) with respect to the chassis (2), the direction of movement selected at the control console (30) is indicated to the operator by activation of at least one visual indication (63a, 64a, 64b, 70.i, 72) located on the side of the chassis (2) that corresponds to the direction of movement selected, or having a form pointing in the direction of movement (FAV, FAR) selected. A screen (40) also indicates the direction of movement (FAV, FAR) selected by a display transposing to the screen (40) the above visual indication system in relation to the azimuthal direction of the chassis (2) with respect to the console (30).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aerial lift (1), which includes: a lower portion (2, 3) provided with members (7) for connecting to the ground (S); a lifting structure (4); a platform (5) supported by the lifting structure (4); and a lighting system (20) including at least one lighting device (21, 22, 23) arranged on the lower portion (2, 3) or on the platform (5), other than a driving light. The aerial lift (1) is characterised in that the lighting device (21, 22, 23) selectively generates coloured light beams, the colour of which are selected among at least two distinct colours, respectively corresponding to an “emergency stop” situation (C2) of the aerial lift (1) and an “accident at height” situation (C4) of the aerial lift (1). The invention also relates to a method for implementing such an aerial lift (1).

Abstract: This aerial lift includes a lower part equipped with members for connecting to the ground; a platform including a floor partially surrounded by a guardrail in which an access zone is provided; and a lifting structure supporting the platform. The platform is equipped with a lighting system, other than headlights, suitable for illuminating at least part of a space inside the platform, including at least the access zone.

Abstract: Disclosed is an aerial lift, including: a lower portion with members for ground connection; a lifting structure; a platform supported by the lifting structure; and a lighting system. The aerial lift includes a control console on the platform, whose position is variable relative to the ground connection members. The lighting devices are arranged on the lower portion of the aerial lift and/or on the lifting structure or the platform and selectively generate light beams directed towards the ground and the immediate environment of the aerial lift, including at least partially an area beyond the edge of the members for connecting to the ground. The light beams are directed towards four sides, consisting of two opposing pairs of sides, of the aerial lift regardless of the position of the control console relative to the members for connecting to the ground. Also disclosed is a method for implementing such an aerial lift.

Abstract: The aerial lift includes a chassis equipped with elements for moving over the ground surface, a mast, a platform (10) supported by the mast, a control console mounted on the platform and including elements for controlling movements of the platform, and a safety bar mounted so as to tilt or slide relative to the console, designed to control the operation of the control elements. This safety bar is intended to assume a first, idle position where the safety bar does not prevent the operation of the control elements, and a second position, wherein the safety bar inhibits the operation of the control elements. When it tilts or slides between the first position and the second position, the safety bar assumes an intermediate position where it does not prevent the operation of the control elements and wherein it activates warning elements.
