Painter’s Lifting and Travelling Platform, 3PtO, TWEKO

The TWEKO 3PtO painter’s lifting and travelling platform is a specialised three-axis pneumatic access system designed for painting, surface preparation and servicing of large industrial workpieces. The platform moves the operator and tools in three directions: vertically, along the working area and outward toward the workpiece.

The 3PtO is designed for industrial paint booths, preparation areas and other process zones where fast and convenient access to the upper and side surfaces of large workpieces is required. Its pneumatic drive and specialised configuration make it suitable for areas with enhanced explosion-safety requirements.

Applications

• Painting of large workpieces
• Surface filling
• Sanding and finishing
• Surface preparation before painting
• Priming
• Surface inspection
• Elevated servicing and auxiliary work

Three-Axis Movement

The 3PtO allows the operator platform to move in three coordinates without repeatedly repositioning ladders, scaffolding or mobile ground platforms.

• Vertical travel: up to 3,600 mm above floor level
• Longitudinal travel along the working area: up to 14,400 mm
• Outreach from the wall toward the workpiece: up to 800 mm

This combination of movements provides access to a large surface area of an oversized workpiece and allows the operator to select an effective working position for each process operation.

Pneumatic Drive

Platform movement is provided by pneumatic drive components. The system incorporates pneumatic motors, cylinders, wire ropes, guides, rollers and braking mechanisms that provide controlled movement of the operator basket.

• Pneumatic motors and cylinders
• Guide system
• Wire-rope mechanisms
• Guide and support rollers
• Braking system
• Pneumatic control of primary movements

Operator Basket

The operator and tools are positioned inside a protected working basket. The system is designed for a combined working load of up to 150 kg, allowing the operator to carry the necessary hand tools and auxiliary equipment.

• Maximum working load: up to 150 kg
• Space for operator and tools
• Controls located directly in the basket
• Movement control from the operator’s working position

Control System

The control panel is located in the operator basket, allowing the user to control platform positioning during operation. Movement direction and the condition of the main pneumatic-system components can be monitored from the working position.

This arrangement allows the basket to be positioned close to the required part of the workpiece and adjusted as the process progresses.

Guide System

The platform travels along a two-guide system. The upper section stabilises the platform and prevents unwanted tilting, while the lower section supports and distributes the operating load.

• Two-guide movement system
• Operator-basket stabilisation
• Even load distribution
• Controlled movement in all three coordinates

Configuration for Paint Booths

The 3PtO is designed for the operating conditions found in industrial painting facilities. Its pneumatic drive principle reduces the need for electrical drive components directly within the working zone.

According to the manufacturer, the platform is available in an explosion-protected configuration for use in paint booths and process areas where flammable coating materials may be sprayed.
