Bridge Inspection Unit – Aspen A-40 New Model – Versatile Bridge Access Unit with Interchangeable Platform
Bridge Inspection and Maintenance – Aspen A-40 New Model
Bridge inspection and maintenance require different tasks and tools. The Aspen Aerials A-40 New Model bridge inspection unit combines the complete access of a three person inspection platform with an optional 2-stage 1,000 lb. capacity maintenance walkway. Your organization can select the one configuration that works best for you, or choose both and eliminate any need to compromise. Changing out the platform takes a total of less than 2 hours, so no task is out of reach.
Interchangeable Platforms for Different Bridge-Related Tasks
Bridge inspection requires versatility because no two bridges are exactly the same. For maximum flexibility, the Aspen A-40 New Model can be fitted with two fully-interchangeable platforms.
- A three person, 40″ x 60″ aluminum platform comes standard. This 700 lb. capacity inspection platform comes equipped with an easy entry gate and is attached to the end of the fourth boom, providing a full range of movement and articulation.
- A large interchangeable maintenance walkway with a maximum extendable reach of 39′-7″ is also available and attaches to the end of the second boom. It has a 1,000 lb. capacity and provides a large working space for all types of repair work.
Stabilizing Systems
The Aspen A-40 New Model is fitted with stabilizing systems which allow operators the advantage of being able to move the truck while the platform is deployed.
As is the case with all Aspen Aerial units, OUTRIGGERS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
- A full-length subframe provides strength and stability.
- Axle locks unitize the chassis and truck axles.
- A counterweight at the base of the pedestal rotates with the unit, always staying within the width of the chassis.
- An interlock system tied to the controls maintains operation within the unit’s full range of stability.
- A “Plus 1” unit interface with color monitor is located at pedestal on turret one.
Reach, Range & Flexibility
Four articulating booms and two turntables give the Aspen A-40 New Model the ability to operate in, around, through and over all types of obstructions. Even in close quarters, the Aspen A-40 New Model can be deployed, reaching across wide sidewalks and over high fences to gain access to underbridge areas. Because the vehicle can be moved while the platform is under the bridge, the Aspen A-40 New Model provides even greater range and operating efficiency.
