Articulated boom platforms: Standard equipment for large venue construction

Large venues (such as stadiums and exhibition centers) place stringent demands on aerial work equipment due to their wide-span domes, special-shaped steel structures, and dense overhead pipelines. Articulated boom platforms, with their flexible adaptability, are gradually becoming the standard equipment for construction.

In traditional venue construction, scaffolding erection for special-shaped structures like domes requires custom brackets, takes up to 10 days, and also creates blind spots. While suspended baskets can operate at high altitude, they cannot maneuver over obstacles. Articulated boom platforms, however, offer 360-degree rotation and 18-30-meter boom heights. They were used to install a dome LED screen at a provincial capital stadium. No custom brackets were required, and a single operator covered all dome locations. A five-day installation task was completed in two, a 150% efficiency improvement.

In cross-regional operations, large venues often face numerous obstacles, such as columns and stands, requiring traditional equipment to be repeatedly disassembled and relocated. Articulated boom platforms, with their crawler or wheeled chassis, can maneuver flexibly across complex locations. During the construction of a convention and exhibition center, they were used for overhead pipeline laying, covering an area of ​​800 square meters in a single day—three times the area of ​​a traditional suspended platform—significantly reducing the time required for cross-construction work.

In terms of safety, the articulated boom platform is equipped with a stability control system and overload alarm. When operating at a height of 25 meters, the platform's sway is less than 5 cm, far superior to the 15 cm of traditional equipment. During the construction of an Olympic Sports Center, no high-altitude work accidents occurred, demonstrating its compliance with the high safety standards of large venues.

From overcoming structural limitations to improving operational efficiency and ensuring construction safety, the articulated boom platform precisely meets the needs of large venue construction, becoming an indispensable standard equipment.
