1.1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.1. General description
The YLPS/T150 mast climbing work platform is provided with a rack and pinion drive. It is designed
to carry personnel and materials efficiently and economically and to improve accessibility to difficult to
reach areas. The YLPS/T150 mast climbing work platform can be easily erected, dismantled, serviced,
and moved about on the job site, while still maintaining high safety standards. The mast climbing work
platform can be quickly moved and is easy to transport.
The mast, which consists of separate elements, can easily be adjusted in height to match the height
of the building work. The mast is easy to assemble from the platform.
The YLPS/T150 mast climbing work platform can be fitted with one or two masts and can be
freestanding or anchored. The platform can be adjusted to the shape of the facade.
The YLPS/T150 mast climbing work platform has a control system which makes it possible to stop
at any desired height.
The typical applications of YLPS/T150 include the traditional construction work such as repairs,
plastering, glazing and bricklaying. It also can be used for refurbishment work such as building fronts,
roofs, gutters, wall cladding, and window replacement. Fixing cladding and sealing joints on industrial
and prefabricated structures, finishing work such as touch up and installing insulation, and installing
windows and railings, etc., can also be completed by YLPS/T150.
Every care has been taken in the construction of the mast climbing work platform to ensure that all
safety aspects have been considered.
Depending on the application area, a choice can be made from different platform lengths, platform
widths and permissible loading.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
2.1. General description

The basic set of the mast climbing work platform
with rack and pinion drive consists of the following 5
main parts:
 drive unit
 mast and mast anchor tie
 platform elements and fences
 ground frame
 control system
The drive unit moves along the mast with the aid of
Nylatron rollers.
The motors are fitted with centrifugal brakes which
retard the platform if the speed of descent is exceeded.
The drive unit, operated by 2 electric motors, is
moved along the mast by means of a single pinion on
each motor.
For a mast climbing work platform with two masts,
the motors are automatically controlled to ensure
parallel operation.
Much consideration has been given to simple and
safe assembly and disassembly.
A crane on the platform (option) ensures that the
mast elements can be positioned quickly and safety.
The platform can be adjusted to suit the required
working situation with the use of separate platform
elements. The width of the platform can be adjusted by
means of outriggers.
All electrical connections, which must be
disconnected for transport purposes, are made by
means of splashproof plugs and sockets.
The main electrical installation is mounted in the
control box on the platform.
The simple construction ensures that only a
minimum of maintenance is required. Fig.2-1 Basic set
The mast elements, the ground frame, the drive unit, of chassis/ground frame
the cable guides and various other components are
protected from corrosion by an appropriate surface
treatment.
YLP150.SM
2.2. Ground frame without outrigger beams
The ground frame without outrigger beams is more suitable in following conditions:
◆ Confined areas.
◆ High lifting height.
◆ During longer construction periods.
The ground frame without outrigger beams is constructed of steel profiles and is equipped with four
manual screw jacks to level and stabilize the mast climbing work platform.
Rubber buffers are located on the frame and are there in order to absorb shock during the transport.
They also serve to absorb shock should the system brakes malfunction.
Free standing mast climbing work platform must NEVER be used with a ground frame without outrigger
beams.

2.3. Ground frame with outrigger beams
The ground frame with outrigger beams can be used to replace the chassis for free standing mast
climbing work platform except being towed around work site.
The ground frame with outrigger beams comprises:
- A base frame made of rectangular tubes. Welded to this frame is a partial mast section that
serves to build up the entire mast.
- Four adjustable frame support and leveling feet (screw jack).
- Four outrigger beams with their respective outriggers to ensure machine stability during
assembly or disassembly and freestanding operation.
- Two rubber buffers that mechanically limit the platform travel absorb the impact of the platform
against the main frame and minimize excess stress arising therefrom.
Each outrigger beam has nine possible positions.
For the tied mast climbing work platform, the base frame can be used as the ground frame without
outrigger beams.

2.4. Mast
The mast comes in lengths of 1508 mm and is bolted together to form a mast tower of desired length.
Each mast is equipped with a boltable, precision cut rack of module 5. The rack is made of special steel
and designed to withstand the forces applied to it.
All mast section come galvanized with the exception of the rack.
Down limit cam is located at the bottom of the mast. The up limit cam is welded to the top red mast
section. These cams act on the limit switches located on the work platform and provide safe and automatic
stopping at the nomal terminal positions of the platform.
Fig.2-4 Mast section
YLP150.SM
2.5. Mast anchor
Each mast tie providing restraint to the mast from the building consists of two adjustable anchor rods
and one support tube，two mast adapters，two wall plates and three clamp。.
The mast anchor can be telescopic variable in the vertical direction by the screws. The tie width is
variable within 500～1000 mm. The distance between the face of structure and the center line of mast
section is from a minimum of 800mm to a maximum of 1530mm.

YLP150.SM
2.6. Drive unit
The drive unit is of a welded steel structure that surrounds three sides of the mast. It is held in position
and guided on the mast by ball bearing guide rollers that run on the mast tubes.
CANNOT BE MODIFIED
Fig.2-6 Drive unit
The machinery consists of two electric brake motors with reduction gears. The motor are connected to
the cylindrical gears through a coupling with a centrifugal over-speed brake. Two pinions are equipped on
the reduction gears of the machinery and engage the mast rack.
The two centrifugal over-speed brakes can control the speed of the work platform to constant preset
value should normal driving speed be exceeded to this preset amount. Moreover，the centrifugal brakes
serves to lower the platform manually in case of power supply failure.
YLP150.SM
Each motor equipped a power off electric mechanical brake.
Either the electric mechanical brake or the centrifugal over-speed brake can provide a brake moment
by mean of which each brake on its own shall be capable of stopping and sustaining the work platform。
If the motor brakes are released, the control circuit for normal use of the control system will be
interrupted automatically by the brake release limit switch.
If the floor is opened, the work platform will stop travelling up or down by the floor switch.
Two counter rollers attached to the machinery mounting plate, ensures correct meshing of the pinion at
all time. A safety hook provides additional safety in the event of the failure of the counter roller.
For the single mast climbing work platform, the eccentric overload protection system can detect the
eccentric moment and give a warning sing of sound and light. If the load or moment reach 1.1 ×rated load
or moment, the system will be triggered and isolate the control system until the overload or moment has
been removed.
When the platform is used in the twin mast configuration, the drive unit is provided with
electric-mechanical leveling equipment which controls and limits the inclination of the platform, from
horizontal.
Platform section of 1.5m or 0.8m, with associated railings, can be attached to either side of the drive
unit. This makes it possible to adapt the platform length to the job.
YLP150.SM
2.7. Work platform
The platform consists of two kind of platform element with a length of 800mm or 1500mm and a width of
1.5m. The platform element sections are constructed of steel pipes and structural tubes.
The platform sections are equipped with a floor of foredeck with water resistant anti slip surface.
The platform sections are bolted together to achieve a length from 2.7m to 10.1m in a single mast
installation. In a twin mast installation the length of the platform can vary from 8.1m to 23.1m.
The railing, which is constructed of galvanized steel pipe, is mounted in brackets located at each corner
of the platform section and locked into place with a bolt.
The railing comes equipped with a kickplate.

Fig.6-1 Position machine
If assembly work must be interrupted, this must be done in such a way that, when the work is
restarted it is clear what stage had been reached when work was stopped. For this reason always
complete a part of the assembly, for example, assemble collect or secure all the components for a
connection, complete a ground support or completely assemble an anchor before stopping work.
While the mast is being mounted, no more than two persons with a single mast machine or four
persons with a twin mast machine, may be on the platform, so that no more than 75% of the lifting
capacity is used.
The assembly must always be followed by a test run, as described in section 7.3. Until the test has
been performed, the platform may not be used for any purpose other than transporting its own mast
elements and anchoring components.
The loading of the mast climbing work platform must be planned so that when, in the assembly
situation, the maximum height of the mast above the last anchor is reached, the material load on the
platform is a minimum.
YLP150.SM
6.3. Preparation for assembly

CAUTION
Ensure that the site where the mast climbing work platform will
be assembled accords with the national requirements and that
permission has been obtained from the relevant authorities for
the assembly.
Delivery inspection
Check the delivery against shipping lists and look transport damages. Should there be any damage,
report same to the responsible transport insurance company within 7 days from the date of arrival of
goods.
− Ensure that a suitable power supply, good lighting, lifting equipment and tools are available.
− Ensure that the building site is easily accessible to the vehicle which will deliver the mast
climbing work platform.
− Prepare the site with suitable support and anchoring facilities.
− Ensure that the position where the mast climbing work platform will stand has good
drainage.
− Plan the positioning of the mast climbing work platform so that where the mast needs to be
anchored, it can be so anchored with the standard material.
− The electrical power supply connection must be placed as close to the mast climbing work
platform as possible so as reduce the voltage drop to a minimum. If the voltage reduction is
too great the machine may not function correctly.
CAUTION
The MCWP MUST NEVER be installed on mud, snow, ice or
on unsuitable footings.
The distance between the work platform and another machine
MUST NOT be less 0.5 meter.
YLP150.SM
6.4. Ground support
Acceptable positions of outrigger beams
Fig.6-2 Acceptable positions of outrigger beams
Acceptable positions of outrigger beams for Ground frame with outrigger beams is showed in
Fig.6-2. The outrigger beams of the chassis should be as fully extended as possible.
To secure the chassis or the ground frame in position:
− Lower the support foot screw until they touch the ground and the travelling wheels or the
main frame clear the ground by 2-3 cm.
− Adjust the height of the feet as necessary to obtain a perfectly leveled frame.
− Block the feet with their respective locknuts.
− The ground support must be durable and of such a quality that the load can be
transferred without plastic deformation.
− If the machine is installed on a concrete foundation or on a hard road surface, the installation
must be provided with wooden packing to prevent slipping.
After leveling the frame, lower the outriggers or the main frame until they touch the ground. The
exclusive function of the outriggers is to stabilize the machine and prevent it from overturning.

Those loads increase by the applicable safety factors.
On tied MCWP:
− The load “W” per ground frame is the same for both single and twin mast models.
− The calculation assumes that the outriggers of the ground frame with outrigger beams do not
support any load.
On untied MCWP:
− The load “W” per ground frame slightly differs, depending on the configuration: single mast
or twin mast.
− Each outrigger of the outrigger beams of the ground frame with outrigger beams may have
to support a load of up to 2500kg due to the tendency for platform to overturn.

must now operate.
3. Set the platform back in the horizontal position with ‘UP’ push-button.
YLP150.SM
4. Repeat the previous step for the other unit.
5. If the autolevel safety mechanism does not function correctly, the mast climbing work
platform must not be used! Consult your service engineer.
Fig.9-1 Brake lever drive unit
9.4. The motor brake
The motor has a built-in electromagnetic brake. This brake functions according to the ‘normally
ON’ principle, that is, when the motor has no power supply the brake is active and the motor shaft will
be braked. (n=0 rev./min).
The braking effect is achieved by friction between several discs and the brake must be used ‘dry’
(not greased).
9.4.1. Operation
The brake mechanism has a metal rotor (3) with friction material in both sides. Four pressure
springs (5) in the stator exert an axial force in an anchor plate (2). This anchor plate is pressed by the
spring force against rotor. The rotor is mounted on the motor shaft in such a way that it can slide in an
axial direction along the shaft. Because the anchor plate presses against the rotor, the rotor is
pressed against the friction plate (6). The contact between the friction material on either side of the
rotor, the anchor plate and the friction plate results in the required braking effect.
The stator has a built-in braking coil (1) which produces a strong magnetic field when a DC
current is applied to it.
When the brake is to be released, a current is made to flow through the braking coil. The
YLP150.SM
resulting magnetic field “pulls” the anchor disc toward the stator, thus releasing the brake.
It is also possible to release the brake manually. If the manual release lever is pressed in the
direction indicated by the arrow on the cover, the anchor plate is moved against the spring pressure
with the aid of two ball bolts, so that it is pressed towards the stator, releasing the brake.
Fig.9-2 Motor brake
9.4.2. Maintenance
In normal use the motor brake is more or less maintenance free. However, after frequent raising
and lowering of the platform it may be necessary to adjust the air gap between the anchor disk and
the stator and if necessary, to replace the rotor.
In order to check the condition of the brake， the width of the air gap ‘a’ and the thickness of the
friction material on the rotor must be measured every three months.
The air gap ‘a’ is adjusted by the manufacturer to 0.3mm and must never be more than 0.9mm.
To check：
1. Switch off the mast climbing work platform at the main switch and secure the switch with the
padlock.
2. Remove the brake release lever using an open ended spanner.
3. Remove the fan cover (9) from the motor.
4. Use a feeler gauge to check the width of the air gap ’a’ adjacent to the hollow threaded
YLP150.SM
collars (2).
The width of the air gap ‘a’ must be adjusted as follows：
5. Remove the device securing the fan and remove the fan from the shaft.
6. Unscrew the hexagonal bolts (6) by a 1/2 turn.
7. Screw all the threaded collars (2) equally far into the stator (8).
8. Turn the hexagonal bolts (6) equally until the air gap ‘a’ has the correct width.
9. Screw the threaded collars (2) out of the stator until they are in contact with the fixed part.
10. Check that the width if the air gap is the same over the whole of its length.
11. Repeat step 9. If the result is not satisfactory，repeat from step 5 onward.
12. Tighten the hexagonal bolts (6) with a torque loading of 25 Nm. Repeat steps 10 and 11 if
necessary until the correct air gap is obtained.
WARING
The adjustment of the hand release may not be changed
not even when air gap ‘a’ is readjusted, as security can be
adversely affected.
13. Re-fit the fan and secure it to the shaft.
14. Mount the fan cover and the brake release mechanism.

9.5.4. Wear limits of mast section tubes
To check wear and corrosion on the mast tubes

providing a rolling track to the Nylatron mast roller, measure
the tube wall thickness with an ultrasonic thickness gauge.
Should you observe any important deformation of any

structural parts of mast section, replace these elements
immediately by others in perfect condition.
Act in a similar way if you notice other faults（corrosion，

Fig.9-7 Mast section tubes
etc.）likely to reduce the strength of the mast section.
New mast section tubes t  3.5mm

Worn-out mast section tubes t  2 . 7 m m(approx. 25% reduction of wall thickness)
9.5.5. Wear limits of centrifugal brakes
To determine if the centrifugal brake (over-speed

governor) shoes have worn out, measure their thickness（E）
in different points.
New centrifugal brake   123mm

Worn-out centrifugal brake   1 1 9 m m
If wear is greater than the established permissible limit,

change the shoes and their springs. Moreover, check the
shoes for uniform wearing, the condition of the springs and
the inside surface of the casing. Replace any defective part.
After disassembling a centrifugal brake for

maintenance, check it for correct operation making following
test。
Fig.9-8 Centrifugal brake
Test
- Prepare the MCWP so that，on each drive unit，the centrifugal brake is present in one of the
gearbox and not the second gearbox.
- Let the machine with its rated load fall from a height of about 3m to the lower terminal,
releasing the motor brakes manually.
- If the platform descends without racing, the centrifugal brake is in good condition.
- Otherwise, check the brake completely.
- Repeat the test on each unit，installing the centrifugal brakes alternately.

10.MALFUNCTION ANALYSIS
The control box on the platform has an ‘malfunction signal panel’. This ‘malfunction signal panel’
consists of a display on which fault codes appear in the event of a malfunction. An explanatory list of
fault codes is attached to the control box as an aid to rapid and efficient fault repair. The following table
gives an indication of the methods to be employed in the event of a malfunction.
