Shenxi's mast climbing work platform meets the American’s ANSI standards. The new standard aims to improve and enhance safety equipment standards to make them similar to international standards. This creates more competition in the global market when providing services to companies and equipment manufacturers.

The following Standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the Guideline. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Transfer. Any horizontal movement of an MCWP from one position to another on the same working site.

4 Transport. Any movement of an MCWP outside the boundaries of the work site.

5 Base Frame. Part of an MCWP that provides support for the mast and elevating assembly.

6 Chassis. Part of an MCWP that provides mobility and support for the mast and elevating assembly.

7 Jacks or Outriggers. Supports at the base frame level used to maintain or increase the stability of an MCWP within specified conditions. (note: they may be used for leveling)

8 Mast. Structure that supports and guides the platform.

22 User. Person(s) or entity that utilizes, or puts into operation, an MCWP.
