1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.1. INTRODUCTION
“Ragno” is the most proper aerial access platforms for aerial work and difficult access
thanks to its stowed dimensions and light weight.
One of the “Ragno” peculiarities is the stabiliser set-up possibility to be rotated and
articulated independently, always granting the working area automatic limiting system
in safety conditions.
Powered by standard dual power: no-noise thermic power pack for robust external wor-
king and electric motor(s) for quiet and smoke-free indoor operations, it solves any
issue linked to environment.
The machine is available in rubber-tracked crawler version particularly fit for irregular
grounds, being capable of climbing steps or steep slopes. It is equipped with a wide ran-
ge of optional equipments which meet every application need.
The platform is not electrically isolated but it is being designed to operate outdoor.
1.2. DESCRIPTION
“Ragno” unit mainly consists of a frame with 4 articulated stabilizing legs, hydraulically
controlled, a turntable slewing on a ball bearing ring.
Steel made multi-telescopic boom is hinged to the turntable and it supports the aerial cage,
with an hydraulically articulating jib. All movements are actuated by hydraulic cylinders, or
hydraulic motors
The machine is mounted on rubber tracks, completely integrated with the supporting
frame.
Three power packs are mounted: el.motor 220V, el.motor 380V and no-noise diesel
engine, all driving the platform movements alternatively and both source are able to
the boom mouvements and travelling. The machine has two complementary control
panels. One in the cage, which is used for aerial work.
The ground control panel is used for the travelling and stabilizer positioning, and, if
allowed, the boom mouvements, as well as the emergency operations.
1.3. DIRECTIVE AND RULES

• Instructions and warning Manual
The machine/equipment supplied is designed, manufactured and tested in conformity
with the following EU directives:
• Machine Directive 2006/42/CE concerning the Member States laws regarding the
machines;
• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/CE;
• Acoustic Emission Directive 2004/14/CE.
With particular reference to the following dispositions: EN ISO 12100:2010, UNI EN
280:2013
With the machine it is provided the Declaration of Conformity to the safety es-
sencial requests as per Directive 2006/42/CE (attachment II, point A), the Directive on
Electromagnetic Compatibility 2004/108/CE and the directive on Acoustic Emission
2000/14/CE.
1.4. LIFE CYCLES
Applying the rule UNI EN 208:2013 to calculate the strenght under effort, the “he-
avy duty” application has been considered, which means in a life duration of 1000.000
cycles of load (i.e. 10 years duration, considering 50 working week per year, 40 hours
per week and 5 loading cycles per hour).
