Suspension work platform hoist system

摘要

A suspension work platform hoist system for raising and lowering a platform. A motor control system is attached to the platform and is in electrical communication with a constant frequency input power source and a hoist motor. The system may include a tilt control system allowing the platform to reach and maintain a tilt angle setpoint as the platform is raised and lowered, and/or a system to reduce the reactive power. The hoist control system may have a data transmitter to transmit data to a remote location, a data receiver to receive data from the remote location, a monitoring and diagnostic system to monitor and record at least one of a plurality of operating characteristics of the hoist, and/or a safety lock out system that requires authentication of an operator prior to the hoist control system causing movement of the hoist system.
