Mobile platforms training

Mobile platform operation course

Our training courses for operators of mobile platforms are dedicated to workers already employed as operators, installers, construction company employees and all those who show a desire to gain new experience in this field. You can obtain the necessary certificate after training at our centre.  

Qualified operators of mobile platforms are still in demand on the labour market. This is due to the ever-increasing use of mobile platforms, which are characterised by their numerous advantages. These are cranes used in the industrial sector and also for work at height. 

Requirements 

Requirements you must meet to enrol on the course: 

• at least 18 years of age, 
• primary education and above, 
• a medical certificate attesting that he or she is in good health and that there are no medical restrictions to the occupation of operator or maintenance person of mobile platforms. 

What is the purpose of the course? 

First and foremost, gaining professional qualifications. Obtaining these is a priority for those who want to operate mobile platforms. The qualifications are essential, as the lack of a certificate can result in substantial fines. The course programme includes, among other things: 

• the ability to operate mobile platforms, the basis of our work, 
• knowledge of crane construction, every professional knows their equipment very well, 
• knowledge of health and safety regulations, safety at work as a priority principle, 
• knowledge of technical supervision regulations, the theory in this case being as important as the practice, 
• operator's duties on the job - before, during and after the job, this ensures efficiency in the performance of tasks. 

We are committed to the high quality of our courses. Our experienced lecturers will take every student under their care and pass on their knowledge in the best substantive way. We make course materials available on our platform. 

Categories of entitlement 

Anyone who works with mobile platforms can have as many as two types of authorisation, these are: 

• for maintenance - required for maintenance positions, 
• for operation - required for operator positions.  

The old categories were divided in this way - the first being Cat I P: 

• mobile freewheeling lifts, so-called "scissor lifts", 
• mobile platforms, so-called "spiders", which can be hooked up to a vehicle, 
• self-propelled mobile platforms, are vehicle-mounted - aerial work platforms. 

Another of these - Cat II P: 

• Hanging mobile platforms, 
• masted mobile platforms, 
• stationary mobile platforms. 

Instead of indefinite allowances, the new regulation introduced term allowances and changed the categories of allowances.  

Hanging aerial work platform qualification (authorises the operation of suspended and stationary aerial work platforms) - valid for 10 years. 

What happens to unlimited UDT licences? 

According to the law of 9 November 2018. If you hold such a licence, you must apply to the UDT for an extension of the validity of your licence no later than 3 months before the expiry date, i.e. until 30 September 2023. Failure to apply within this deadline will result in the need to retake the examination. 

UDT exam 

Our training courses prepare participants for both the theoretical and practical parts of the examination. Trainees take the exam before a commission appointed by the Office of Technical Inspection. A positive result guarantees the entitlement to operate mobile platforms for a period of 10 years, with a further possibility of extension. 

Division and use of mobile platforms 

Mobile platforms are devices designed to move people to workstations where they perform work on a working platform. They consist of a work platform with controls, a work platform support structure with a drive system and a chassis. Structurally, they are divided into three groups: 

• masted mobile platforms,

As mentioned above, mobile platforms are being used more and more. Mobile platforms are the most numerous group of platforms. And they are used to perform: 

• assembly and inspection of mast structures, 
• towers, 
• chimneys, 
• bridges, 
• cranes, 
• assembly of roof structures, 
• gutters, 
• glass coverings, 
• maintenance work on building façades, 
• repair and maintenance of street lighting, 
• repairs to power and telephone lines, 
• tree pruning, 
• installation of advertisements. 

Advantages of mobile platforms  

The popularity of and demand for mobile platforms is a result of the functionality of these devices. They are characterised by very practical features in use, these include: 

• the possibility of direct access to a specific site,

• easy to manoeuvre movements of the working platform.
