Equiptec AHP units are designed to make working at height as safe and easy as possible. However, that does not mitigate the fact that working at height still carries the risk of a fall, no matter how small this may seem. Equiptec strongly...
Warranty The standard Warranty for a G20 is 5 years. To ensure this warranty is in place, simply go to the Equiptec website (www. equiptec.co) and complete the warranty registration form including the required photos of the Assembly process as stated above.
Proceed only when the unit is in good and complete condition. And, if it is the first use after assembly, this has been confirmed by the Equiptec team. 2. In addition to the “Hold Valve” (with the Black Plastic knob on top) the Hydraulic raise/lower system on the G20 is fitted with 2 safety valves.
Safety Requirements Positioning the G20 4. The standard issue caster wheels are not designed to roll over obstacles. If the surface of the area the G20 is to be moved across is soft, has larger stones, objects or debris in the G20’s path, or for any reason the G20 cannot be moved by manual pushing/pulling, it is recommended to move the G20 with a forklift using the forklift pockets provided.
Safety Requirements G20 Use (see also ‘Operation’) 5. In its standard configuration, the G20 deck has 3 access gates to facilitate access to/from a work surface if required. These gates must remain shut except when walking through them. Do not use these gates if there is not a flat surface immediately beyond it that has been certified to be of sufficient strength to support your weight and has sufficient, compliant guard railing in...

While these checks are relatively simple, it is recommended that they are carried out by qualified tradespeople. If the Owner does not wish to carry out any particular service or task themselves, Equiptec may be able to arrange for an authorized Equiptec Distributor to visit the Site and perform these tasks, however, the Distributor may charge for this service.
Upload any photos of any damage Note: Once photos of any damage are uploaded, check with Equiptec before continuing to operate a damaged unit. It must be ascertained if the damage will compromise safety, strength, or the smooth functioning of the G20.
Hydraulic Ram needs bleeding (usually causes a soft “spongey” lift that does not go to full height easily). See Instructions in the Hydraulic System section on page 14 8. Check for any excess movement (either fore/aft or lateral) of the deck when fully elevated. Contact Equiptec for advice if any issues come to light.
Note: Use a safe platform ladder such as an Equiptec Squirrel to access the Side Panel Top Covers and remove them. * Check Roller condition carefully especially if the environment the G20 is operating in is dusty or abrasive in any way.

Maintenance Hydraulic System Descent Speed Adjustment The Hydraulic system has a valve to control the speed of the descent of the Platform. This will be factory set at an optimal speed that is both practical and safe.

Optional Accessories Many optional extras are available for the G20. They can all be retrofitted relatively simply, but Equiptec recommends these tasks are undertaken by an Engineering based or otherwise qualified Tradesperson. The instructions for installing each type are all downloadable from the Equiptec website, and Equiptec remains available to assist via Video Conference if required.
Optional Accessories Hammerhead Deck This option gives a wider deck at the front. With 5.9’ (1.8m) of room it allows 2 people to comfortably work alongside each other. The Hammerhead Deck also offers the ability to remove gates on either, or both sides, giving unimpeded access to a 5.9’...
Transport When transporting the G20 in its fully built configuration, it is mandatory to ensure the following: • The G20 work deck is in its completely lowered position • The unit is supported on its chassis frails only, a minimum of 4” (100mm) in from the Caster Brackets at either end, and at a height that allows the wheels to swivel freely (See blue squares depicting packers in diagram below).
