A new hydraulic elevated work platform AP-1810 extended the vehicle fleet of Makiivka Branch Electrical Shop of Yenakiieve Steel, Metinvest Group. The unit is designed for the high-voltage lines maintenance and other works at height performance. An advanced elevated work platform provides high reliability; this unit is equipped with a low-consumption motor and state-of-the-art components.
The previous hydraulic elevated work platform, which has been in operation nearly 30 years, became old-fashioned and completely obsolete. Being concerned about this issue, Company Management initiated a new unit purchasing in the framework of Yenakiieve Steel Investment Programme. The price of the new elevated work platform amounted to more than UAH 320 000.
«The new elevated work platform will guarantee high operation efficiency of our subdivision, — highlights Yuriy Pogrebnoy, Head of Electrical Shop, Makiivka Branch of Yenakiieve Steel. — This hydraulic-elevated work platform has a lot of innovations which significantly facilitated our work, improved safety and comfort of the operating personnel, and also promotes time and cost savings. Moreover, the fuel consumption of the new unit is 20% less, than the same of the previous one. Therefore the operation of this new elevated work platform is more environmentally sound."
