The JLG 1230ES is a compact vertical mast lift that is specifically designed for indoor use. Accordingly, floor protection is essential for avoiding hazardous working conditions and surface damage. Below, learn more about drip diapers and other safety features that fit the JLG 1230ES and the importance of replacement parts in maintaining this lift and other aerial work platforms.
The Importance of Drip Diapers for the JLG 1230ES
The JLG 1230ES specs highlight why these vertical mast lifts are such a popular choice for indoor applications, like operation within narrow aisles or use for indoor maintenance. Although its platform is not intended for the elevated heights accessible to AWPS like scissor lifts or boom lifts, the platform capacity of this lift provides plenty of space for 1-2 people and any necessary tools they may need. Additionally, this battery-powered, driveable vertical mast lift only takes between 15-25 seconds to lift or lower depending on load weight and maneuvers well even in tight spaces. Leveraging the benefits of drip diapers helps operators enjoy the versatility of this lift while also protecting floors, products, and fellow workers or clients.
The National Floor Safety Institute notes that slips and falls are the primary cause of workers’ compensation claims. Floor protection like that provided by drip diapers is one method to mitigate these types of injuries. From floor-to-floor transfer via freight elevator to regularly scheduled use, the JLG 1230ES and other aerial work platforms come into contact with flooring during operation and can impact it even during storage or transport. Without the heavy-duty, absorbent pad of a drip diaper to catch fluid drips, a number of problems may occur, as listed below:
- Exposure to hazardous fluid can damage the aerial lift itself. Consequently, failing to install diapers or replace diapers regularly once they’ve become saturated can reduce the lifespan of a lift or compromise its functionality.
- Increased cleaning costs, floor damage and worker injury can result from fluid leaks. As with other floor protection parts like tire covers, socks and booties, drip diapers help reduce the potential for such problems.
- Unsafe operations may result in an OSHA violation. In addition to operator training and ongoing maintenance, integration of additional safety features and upkeep of existing parts help keep workers and workplaces safely in action.
