hydraulic platform Explanation: What Does Hydraulic Platform Mean? A hydraulic platform is a type of large appliance that is attached to some fire trucks. It is comprised of a crane with a caged platform at the end, and it is used to rescue those trapped at significant heights. Hydraulic platforms may extend to more than 90 m (~300 ft) in length, and they often include fire hose reel attachments that allow them to direct water at fires from height. Hydraulic platforms are one of two types of aerial apparatuses used in firefighting—the other being the aerial ladder. Aerial ladders are similar to hydraulic platforms but lack any sort of basket or standing surface. A hydraulic firefighting platform must be built and used in compliance with both general work-at-height standards (e.g., ANSI boom crane standards), as well as firefighting specific standards (e.g., NFPA standards). https://www.safeopedia.com/definition/7859/hydraulic-platfor... |
