airport

There are two types of aircraft: passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft. Once a cargo aircraft arrives or before takeoff, there will be specialized handling personnel responsible for the transfer and loading of cargo. The height of the aircraft determines how to transfer cargo between the ground and the belly of the aircraft. We can find that there is usually a fixed lifting platform car at the tail of the aircraft, which is the lifting tool for cargo.

At the same time, inside and outside the airport, we can also see a scissor type lifting platform truck, which is a mobile mechanical device with an operating platform and support legs, facilitating staff to perform high-altitude operations more smoothly and safely. This scissor fork type mobile lift truck can not only transfer heavy objects inside the airport, but also be used for work at heights below 30 meters, such as cleaning glass curtain walls, cleaning the fuselage, installing lighting fixtures, repairing cables and wires, and repairing ventilation ducts.

Whether it is a fixed lifting platform vehicle or a mobile platform vehicle, their lifting and lowering working principles are very similar, with seemingly simple functions, but they are very practical, helping airport staff effectively complete cargo handling and other types of aerial work.
