As it is known, load platforms are lifting equipment designed to carry loads and goods and limited to a maximum carrying capacity of 10,000 Kg. Despite it is in the lift class, it is classified as a lifting equipment due to its definition and features.

It is described according to the "machine directive" in the description of its controls and certifications.
The difference between load platforms and lifts is; It is the phrase "designed for carrying loads or goods".
  • • Cabin is not available. There must be guardrails around the platform.
  • • There is no control in the platform. Direction buttons should be installed permanently on the floors.
  • • People are not transported.
  • • It is designed to carry loads.
  • • Its speed is less than 0.15 m/s.


One of the issues to be taken into account on load platforms is security measures on the platform. The working areas of the load platforms must comply with Occupational Health Safety.

  • • Platform guardrails must be a minimum of 110 cm.
  • • Protective and obstructive areas such as a minimum 120 cm wall, sheet metal, fence should be created around the platform in order to prevent people or any living thing from entering the place where the platform is working and not creating a danger.
  • • It is strictly forbidden to place a door on the platform, as the hinged doors cause jams and accidents on the platforms when they get rid of the bolts or the joints to which they are attached. If the door is very necessary to be placed, movable guardrails, which we call "plug-in", are installed.
  • • When the load is lowered from the platform, the emergency stop must be activated.
  • • If the platform is enclosed and protective and preventive measures are taken to prevent any moving creatures or objects from entering while the platform is operating, there is no need for an audible alarm. However, if it is working in the outdoor area due to the conditions, there must be an audible alarm.
  • • There must be directing and warning signs on the platforms. There must be warning and information signs such as capacity, height and “people are not allowed to ride”.
  • • Each load platform must have an ID such as the year of production, capacity, travel distance, the number of pistons, engine power etc.
  • • Platform orientation or operation should be in two ways. Press send or Hold send. – It is determined according to the load to be carried or the way of working.
