What Is MTS and How It Works?
MTS is a PLC‑based monitoring system that gathers real‑time data on energy consumption, alarm status and maintenance requirements for mast climbing work platforms and construction hoists. Sensors mounted on each machine continuously track equipment performance, and critical conditions are instantly reported to the operator. This ensures operational continuity while preventing unexpected failures. Alpmaksan’s product families include the MCWP series (P1500 single‑mast and P3000 twin‑mast platforms), the H1500 and H2000 hoists, and the electric suspended platform.
MTS Application on the P1500 and P3000 Platforms
The P1500 Single‑Mast Working Platform delivers a 1500 kg capacity, 8 m/min speed, 250 m maximum height, 10 m maximum width, 2 × 2.2 kW motor power, 4 mm mast section thickness, galvanized finish and a 1.5 m mast height. With MTS integration, parameters such as motor current, power usage and load distribution are monitored in real time, allowing operators to detect deviations before they become critical. The P3000 Double‑Mast Working Platform offers a 3000 kg capacity, 8 m/min speed, 250 m maximum height, 30 m maximum width, 4 × 2.2 kW motor power, 4 mm mast section thickness and an automatic levelling system. MTS records levelling responses and presents balance status in live reports, enhancing safety and reliability. In both platforms, MTS provides continuous monitoring of energy consumption, load limits and system health.
MTS Usage on the H1500 and H2000 Hoists
The H1500 Personnel and Material Hoist, with a 1500 kg capacity, 16 m/min speed, 150 m maximum height, 6 m anchorage distance, 1500 × 500 × 500 mm mast dimensions, 65 kg mast weight, 1300 mm cage width and 2200 mm cage depth, is tracked by MTS for critical operating data such as current draw, load stability and fault conditions. The H2000, capable of 2000 kg capacity, 30 m/min speed, 150 m maximum height, 6 m anchorage distance, 1500 × 650 × 650 mm mast dimensions, 80 kg mast weight, 1450 mm cage width and 2400 mm cage depth, benefits from MTS monitoring of energy‑current information, machine position, current and peak load values, load stability, driver status and fault detection. These data enable proactive maintenance planning and reduce downtime.
Operational Advantages of MTS
MTS’s alarm system reduces safety risks by instantly notifying operators of anomalies. The service and inventory modules extend equipment life and lower maintenance costs by scheduling repairs before failures occur. Exportable Excel and PDF reports provide managers with transparent, actionable insights, while the user‑friendly interface allows field crews to access live data anywhere on site. Together, these features transform routine maintenance into a predictive, data‑driven process.
The Suspended Platform Family
Alpmaksan’s Electric Suspended Platform offers a climbing speed of 9.5 m/min, 2 × 1.5 kW motor power, 380 V three‑phase voltage, a 150 cm front beam projection, modular platform length of 2–12 m and a 6 m × 69 cm × 118 cm standard cradle. With a cradle weight of 440 kg, it can be configured for a wide range of industrial tasks. MTS integration provides real‑time monitoring of load, position and power consumption, ensuring safe operation in demanding environments.
