As the necessity for connectivity continues to increase around the world as well as in the Philippines, the carrier that can provide the closest to 100% operation and the shortest downtime, will become the preferred network for many consumers. For that reason, the telecommunications providers likely Liberalization, Globe Telecom, and Smart Communications need to keep their network fully maintained and operational for as close to 100% of the time as possible.
To support the Philippines’ telecom sector, truck-mounted aerial work platforms are used to maintain and install overhead telecommunication networks and the most common brand is Italy-based Socage.
Smarter design makes this truck-mounted platform more highly innovative than other manufacturers. A unique SPEED automatic stabilization system as standard operates even on slopes with a single button, even from the basket. It allows you to obtain a stabilization OK to work in a safe, simple, and fast way.
Socage offers different types of aerial platforms such as articulated type with or without outrigger, double articulated type with or without jib, telescopic type, and telescopic with jib type on different vehicles, in order to fulfill the needs of clients.
The machine can reach a working height of 14m up to 100m, and a horizontal reach max of 43m with 350kg, with a maximum loading capacity of 600kg (6 operators + tools) depending on models.
The most popular model for the telecommunication sector we see is 15m (ForSte 15T SPEED) – 20m (ForSte 20TJ SPEED) – 75m (ForSte 75TJJ) in common telecommunication towers nationwide.
Among its features, the machine has an excellent lateral reach that together with the JIB makes it easier to overcome obstacles at height, and at the same time, it provides versatility and productivity use when working at height.
The basket front support is very common in self-propelled but not used in truck platforms. It allows not having the boom under the basket for more precise position in tight job access without danger of collision. In addition, it increases safety in the possible exits of the operator at height to hook on the mandatory lifeline.
The combination of quality, reliability, productivity, and simplicity of use together with the other features make Socage’s truck-mounted platforms an ideal platform for maintenance and installation work of telecom networks.
With varying positives in each model, you need to carefully assess their options before making an informed decision on what is the best machine for your job. Consult Mayon Machinery – Socage’s Official Dealer in the Philippines to have the best pricing and world-class aftersales services.
