In the modern market of special equipment, in addition to the service of renting a crane, the services of renting auto towers or, as they are also called - auto elevators are especially popular. At most construction sites, auto elevators are used for installation and finishing works at a certain height.

They are most common in the field of public utilities, namely in lighting and even decorating works. The main function of a car elevator is to elevator people with materials and tools to a height to carry out various works. This can be and repair of power lines, fire fighting, maintenance of airfield and port facilities, decoration of poles on the eve of holidays, installation of posters and banners.

Since the area of application of auto towers is so wide, there are many different modifications. Depending on the functional purpose of this type of equipment is produced on different chassis, different load capacity (from 200 to 600 kg) and lifting height. For example, in rural areas, where construction work is carried out mainly outdoors, a full-size truck elevator is the best option, capable of transporting and delivering to the required height a repair team of several people at once. In conditions of limited space (narrow streets, courtyards, rooms) with the tasks effectively cope with maneuverable and small in size mouse-auto towers.

So, how is a truck tower organized? In general, its design consists of a rotating and a non-turnable part. The non-turning part is a frame with a platform and supports that extend and are securely attached to the frame of the car. The pivoting part is the boom, that is, the lifting mechanism. Classification of auto towers occurs according to the following criteria: - depending on the lifting height: high-rise (from 28 m), medium-rise (from 17 to 28 m), and accordingly, low-rise up to 17 m.

As for the climatic performance, the main part of the truck lifts are designed to work in temperature conditions from -40 to +40 degrees C, taking into account the wind speed not exceeding 10m/sec (at a height of up to 10 meters). In case the auto elevator is planned to be used to work with power lines, the cradle assumes the presence of electrical insulation. The advantage of this type of special equipment is reliable long-lasting work that does not require frequent overhaul. The cost of autotowers justifies itself in the near future, which means that even small companies can afford to buy their own unit of equipment.
