Emikhakheni yezokwakha, yokunakekela, neyezimboni, amagama athi AWP kanye ne-MEWP avame ukusetshenziswa ngokushintshana. Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi zombili zichaza izinto zokusebenza eziklanyelwe ukusebenza ngokuphakama, kunomehluko obalulekile okufanele ochwepheshe bakuqonde. Ukucacisa le migomo akusizi nje kuphela ekukhetheni amathuluzi afanele kodwa futhi kuqinisekisa ukuhambisana nezindinganiso zokuphepha zamazwe ngamazwe.
I-AWP, emfushane yokuthi I-Aerial Work Platform , igama elivamile elisetshenziselwa ukuchaza imishini eyimishini enikeza ukufinyelela kwesikhashana ezindaweni eziphakeme. Lezi zinkundla zisetshenziswa kakhulu ukwakha, ukulungisa ugesi, ukuhlanza, kanye nemisebenzi yokugcina impahla. Ama-AWP afaka izinto ezisetshenziswayo ezijwayelekile ezifana nokunyuswa kwesikere, ama-boom lift, nama-vertical lifts. Ukugxila kwenkundla yomsebenzi wasemoyeni wukufinyeleleka nokuphepha, okuvumela abasebenzi ukuthi benze imisebenzi ngokuphumelelayo kunamaledi avamile noma isikafula.
I-MEWP, emele i-Mobile Elevating Work Platform, yitemu eliqonde kakhudlwana elithole ukuvelela eminyakeni yamuva, ikakhulukazi ezimongweni zokulawula. Ama-MEWP empeleni ayisigaba sezinkundla zokusebenza zasemoyeni, kodwa igama ligcizelela ukuhamba. Ngokwezindinganiso zamazwe ngamazwe njenge-ISO 16368 kanye nemihlahlandlela ebekwe izinhlangano ezifana ne-IPAF (International Powered Access Federation), i-MEWPs ichazwa njengemishini enamandla eklanyelwe ukuphakamisa abasebenzi, amathuluzi, nezinto zokwakha ziyise endaweni yokusebenza ngokuphakama, enekhono lokuhamba ziqonde zibheke phansi.
Umehluko omkhulu usekusetshenzisweni kwamagama kanye nobubanzi. I-AWP ibinzana elibanzi, elivamile, elivame ukusetshenziswa eNyakatho Melika kanye nemboni yezokwakha iyonke. I-MEWP, ngakolunye uhlangothi, igama lezobuchwepheshe elaziwa emhlabeni wonke elibonisa izigaba zokuphepha ezibuyekeziwe futhi lisetshenziswa kabanzi e-Europe, e-Asia, namazinga okuphepha omhlaba. Ngamafuphi, wonke ama-MEWP angama-AWP, kodwa akuwona wonke ama-AWP ahlukaniswa njengama-MEWP ngaphansi kwezincazelo zamanje.
Ngokombono ongokoqobo, amabhizinisi nezikhulu zezokuphepha zidinga ukunaka igama elithi MEWP lapho zibuyekeza izimfuneko zokuthobela imithetho. Izinhlelo eziningi zokuqeqesha, izitifiketi zokuphepha, kanye nemibhalo yokulawula manje zisebenzisa i-MEWP ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abaqhubi bathola imiyalelo engashintshi ehambisana nezindinganiso zamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukwanda kokuduma kwetemu elithi MEWP nakho kubonisa intuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe. Imishini yanamuhla ivame ukufaka izinhlelo zokushayela ugesi, izixazululo zamandla ayingxube, kanye nezilawuli zokuphepha ezithuthukisiwe ezihambisana nemithetho yesimanje. Ezinkampanini ezisebenza kuzo zonke izifunda ezihlukene, ukuqonda ukuthi izisetshenziswa zihlukaniswa njenge-AWP noma i-MEWP kungaba nomthelela ekuthengweni kwempahla, ekuqeqeshweni, nasezinkambisweni zokuthobela imithetho.
Sengiphetha, umehluko phakathi kwe-AWP ne-MEWP ngokuyinhloko umayelana namagama, kodwa unemithelela ebalulekile kumazinga okuphepha nezinqubo zemboni. Nakuba ama-AWP echaza isigaba esijwayelekile sezinto zokusebenza zokufinyelela emoyeni, ama-MEWP amele ukuhlukaniswa kwesimanje, okulawulwayo okugqamisa ukuhamba nokuhambisana nezinhlaka zokuphepha zamazwe ngamazwe. Njengoba isidingo sezixazululo eziphephile nezisebenzayo zokufinyelela ukuphakama sikhula emhlabeni wonke, amabhizinisi akhuthazwa ukuba asebenzise izindinganiso ze-MEWP ukuze aqinisekise kokubili ukukhiqiza nokuvikelwa kwabasebenzi.
