MOBILE ELEVATING WORK PLATFORM IPAF

1. Overall Education Programme

IPAF has revised their mobile elevating work platform course categories and harmonised them with the international standards prEN 280 and ISO DIS 16388. These standards regulate the design and manufacture of mobile levating work platforms worldwide. In this course we mainly discuss the following types of mobiel elevating work platforms:

Static Vertical (1a):
A vertical elevating, one person stamped mobile elevating work platform.
Static Boom (1b):
Self-moving (bending) mobile elevating work platforms supplied with stamps, mobile elevating work platforms on trailers, mobile elevating work platforms on chassis, twirl mobile elevating work platforms supplied with stamps.
Mobile Vertical (3a):
Self-moving scissor mobile elevating work platforms and self-moving one person mobile elevating work platforms.
Mobile Boom (3b):
Self-moving (bending) telescopic mobile elevating work platforms.
Special (SPECIAL):
For example; railway mobile elevating work platforms.

This revised system has no consequences for education followed in the past, nor for PAL (Powered Access Licence) cards; these remain valid and card holders do not have to edite their cards.

Current PAL card holders can order a duplicate, when they lost their card. This duplicate wil state the same category as their old one, because this refers to the education that has been followed. When following repition courses or upgrades from the 1th of January 2008, participants will recieve a card mentioning the new category/categories.
