Tadano Mantis work platform

The Tadano Mantis Work Platform is a personal lifting device that is designed to allow operators to safely work at height. The platform has a load capacity of 340 kg with the deck measuring 1828 x 914 mm and the work platform includes a 428 kg test weight. It has been designed to be compatible with every model in the Tadano Mantis crawler crane range, which comprises nine models from 27 to 120 tonnes.

The platform is attached to the end of the crane’s first section of fly jib with a series of pins and a purpose-designed and certified adaptor. Once fitted, the work platform is ready for work and is operated from the crane cab using normal crane controls in response to instructions from workers on the work platform. These can be communicated by hand signals or two-way radio.

Made from heavy-duty all steel construction with a self-levelling capability, the platform also features a swing-in entry door, non-skid floor, interior hand rails, tool storage racks, D rings for attaching safety lanyards and an all-round 150 mm toe hold.
