Mobile Work Platform

摘要

Here invented is a mobile vehicle that is a narrow work platform for work in narrow row spaces between crops planted in rows. The frame of this platform holds and allows operation of attached wheels but also provides a low floor surface from where a worker can access crops adjacent to the vehicle. Worker actions as needed to tend crops at various heights down to ground level are supported by this apparatus.;The low floor is configured to enable access to the adjacent ground level just beyond the track of the vehicle wheels. This involves floor openings with flexible surfaces that close such openings. The flexible surfaces also act as a soft edge of the floor to prevent serious crushing injury of workers, particularly in fall down situations.
