— with a platform height limited by the design up to 2,0 m;

— used indoors or outdoors.

Low height mobile working platforms are suitable for use where the equivalent dynamic pressure including gusts is less than 0,1 kN/m2.

This document:

— gives dimensional requirements;

— safety and performance requirements.
