A STABILIZER MECHANISM FOR AERIAL WORK PLATFORM

摘要

According to embodiments of the disclosure, a stabilizer arrangement 100 for a self- propelled aerial work platform vehicle 10 having a work platform 18, a lifting section 16 for elevating and lowering the work platform 18 and a chassis 12 for supporting lifting section 16 and at least two safety plates 24 is disclosed. The stabilizer arrangement 100 may include a pushing element 102, at least two linkage mechanism 104 and an arc shaped resilient member 110 supported on an actuator frame 22. A first end 106 of each linkage mechanism 104 may be coupled to each safety plate 24. Each end 112 of the arc shaped resilient member 110 may be hinged to a second end 114 of each linkage mechanism 104, such that downward vertical movement of the work platform 18 may result in imparting a downward vertical movement to a center part 116 of the arc shaped resilient member 110 by the pushing element 102.
