Abstract (en)

A suspended platform, for example for use as an access/working platform in performing maintenance work on the attachment of conductors and insulators to an electricity transmission tower or pylon, comprises a main portion (20) and an extension portion (21) hingedly connected thereto so as to pivot to a closed position, which may be generally at right angles to the main portion or may involve pivoting the extension portion through an angle greater than 90 DEG so that it lies substantially within the structure of the main portion. This latter configuration further diminishes the space taken up by the platform during hoisting to position and ensures that all parts of the platform are safely spaced from the conductors under all conditions, including under high winds which might tend to sway the platform towards the conductors. <IMAGE>
