Short answer
Before a mast climbing work platform arrives on site, confirm ground conditions, tie-in points, electrical supply, laydown/crane access, and the real load scenario. Skipping these checks delays installation. Anchoring calculations and site-specific safety settings still require manufacturer documentation and qualified technical assessment.
This checklist covers what to confirm before delivery. For what happens once the machine is on site, see our guide to mast climber installation, step by step, and plan electrics with the power supply and earthing guide.
Why this checklist exists
After a buy-or-rent decision, project teams usually ask what must be ready before delivery. Use the list below for planning only. It is not a substitute for structural tie-in design or on-site installation instructions.
1. Ground and installation zone
- Is the base area level, drained, and free of soft fill?
- Is there clear access for crane or forklift movements?
- Is temporary storage reserved for mast and platform components?
For verified model configuration options, see P1500 and P3000.
2. Facade and tie-in planning
- Is there a preliminary plan for facade ties along the working height?
- Are balconies, glazing, overhangs, or inclined surfaces marked?
- Is single-mast vs twin-mast already decided? See the single-mast vs twin-mast guide.
- Which tie points need confirming before delivery? See the MCWP tie-in spacing checklist.
Do not apply anchoring or structural calculations from a general blog article. Use manufacturer documents and qualified engineering review.
3. Load and work scenario
- What materials and tools will travel on the platform?
- Has load distribution across the deck been discussed?
- Review capacity basics in the load capacity guide.
4. Power and site infrastructure
- Is a suitable power supply point prepared as required by the equipment documentation?
- Are cable routes separated from pedestrian and vehicle traffic?
- Have emergency stop and communication procedures been shared with the site team?
5. Crew and schedule
- Is authorized installation / technical access booked for install day?
- Have weather and crane reservations been checked for conflicts?
- For commercial sequencing, see buy vs rent.
When to request a survey or quote
If facade type, height, platform width, or tie-in conditions are unclear, a generic checklist is not enough. Share project details via contact to request a survey or quote.
Frequently asked questions
When should site preparation start?
As soon as the platform model and delivery window are being discussed, so ground, tie-in and power questions are answered before install day.
Does this checklist replace the installation documentation?
No. Tie-in design, anchoring calculations and installation steps come from manufacturer documentation and a qualified technical assessment.
Which details help ALPMAKSAN prepare a quote?
Working height, facade length, platform width, materials on the deck, facade obstacles and the planned install window.
