Wind Action on a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) in Operational Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a brief presentation of researches done on a mobile elevating work platform model in a wind tunnel. The major aim of the tests was to define aerodynamic coefficients of the platform in different conditions of operation and for a variable angle of wind attack. The results may be useful in the designing process of the mobile elevating work platform.
