The Aspen Aerials A-30 Bridge Inspection Unit
When it comes to bridge inspections, getting up close to every part of the structure is critical. And you have deadlines to meet so you must work quickly many times. That’s why you need a bridge inspection unit that is efficient, lightweight, and versatile.
That’s where the Aspen Aerials A-30 comes in. The A-30 bridge inspection unit can help you with those smaller bridge inspection and maintenance needs. Sure, you have options from other aerial lift equipment manufacturers that may offer some of these benefits, but they can’t compare with the convenient combination of features that the Aspen Aerials A-30 offers.
Interchangeable Platforms for Different Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Requirements
The Aspen A-30 provides maximum flexibility with the option of being fitted with either of two fully-interchangeable platforms.
Inspection Platform
- A 3 foot by 5-foot aluminum inspection platform for three workers is included as standard equipment.
- It provides up to 600 lb. capacity and is equipped with an easy entry gate.
- The platform is attached to the end of the articulating fourth boom.
- It has a full range of movement and articulation.
- In the fully articulated position, it can reach an additional 5 vertical feet, providing “hands-on” access.
Maintenance Platform
- A 3.5 foot by 17-foot interchangeable maintenance platform can be attached to the end of the second boom.
- This platform provides a capacity of 1,000 lb. and a large working space for all types of repair work.
Comprehensive Stabilizing Systems
No outriggers are required with the Aspen A-30. It has been engineered with stabilizing systems that give operators the ability to move the truck while the platform is deployed.
Stabilizing Systems Components
- A full-length subframe provides strength and stability.
- Axle locks unitize the chassis and truck axles.
- A counterweight at the base of the pedestal rotates with the unit, always staying within the width of the chassis.
- An interlock system tied to the controls maintains operation within the unit’s full range of stability.
- An indicator panel at the pedestal enables operators to constantly monitor boom and turret movements.
Accessibility and Maneuverability
With a total of four articulating booms and two points of rotation, the Aspen A-30 possesses a high degree of maneuverability that allows it to operate in, around, over, and through all types of barriers and obstructions.
Because of its size and mobility, the Aspen A-30 can be deployed to reach over sidewalks and fences, and provide access underbridge areas even in very close quarters. Using the three-person platform, operators can reach up and behind deep girders for comprehensive inspections.
As a versatile inspection and maintenance unit, the A-30 can provide even greater working range and operating efficiency because of its ability to be moved while the platform is deployed under the bridge.
Versatility and Efficiency for Highway Bridges
Versatile bridge inspection equipment is invaluable to inspectors and maintenance crews. The Aspen A-30 provides that versatility on highway bridges.
This bridge inspection unit can be deployed off of both sides of the truck, allowing operators to reach more underbridge areas without having to reposition the vehicle.
