2. Working Principle
The integrated operation of 18M truck-mounted aerial lift relies on chassis power output, closed-loop hydraulic telescopic lifting system, hydraulic rotary driving mechanism, dual-mode travel power switching module and peripheral equipment expansion circuit, realizing vehicle transfer, high-altitude positioning, light cargo hoisting and multi-functional auxiliary construction synchronously.
For truck-mounted type, the chassis power assembly provides traveling power to finish cross-city construction site scheduling. After arriving at the working area, operators engage parking brake and extend hydraulic outriggers to level the vehicle body, then switch to aerial working mode. The power take-off transmits engine power to the hydraulic station, and proportional hydraulic oil drives the telescopic boom to stretch and luff steadily, reaching the maximum 18-meter working height. The bottom hydraulic turntable drives the whole upper working device to rotate 360° horizontally, realizing arbitrary azimuth adjustment.
For self-propelled variants, independent electric or diesel power units supply walking power, realizing low-speed stepless movement indoors; compact models lock partial hydraulic strokes to realize micro-shift under low lifting height, preventing equipment tipping. When starting light material hoisting work, the boom-tip lifting hook connects to independent auxiliary hydraulic oil circuit, outputting stable lifting tension to avoid overload jitter.
The reserved universal interfaces on the working platform provide fixed installation and matched power supply for lighting, water washing and spraying equipment. All hydraulic pipelines adopt anti-leakage sealing design to guarantee stable output under long-hour working conditions. The whole machine adopts mechanical hydraulic linkage control, with simple operation logic, lowering operation threshold for on-site construction workers.
