About This Product

The Dual Mast Aerial Work Platform is a compact, push-around vertical access platform for industrial maintenance, inspection, servicing, and stock-access tasks. It elevates one or two operators, subject to the rated safe working load, together with the tools and service materials needed at the work position. Its twin aluminium mast structure provides guided vertical travel and greater platform rigidity than a comparable single-mast arrangement.

Designed primarily for indoor or sheltered facilities, the platform suits factories, warehouses, production areas, utilities zones, and commercial buildings with level, stable floors. It is particularly relevant where conventional ladders are inefficient, where repeated setup disrupts maintenance work, or where larger aerial equipment cannot readily enter narrow aisles and confined operating areas.

Vertical Access Role

This equipment supports controlled access to overhead machinery, storage locations, electrical services, lighting, HVAC systems, conveyors, and other elevated assets. The movement is vertical rather than lateral, allowing the operator platform to be positioned directly below the work area and raised to the required height. Available working heights range from 8 m to 14 m, with corresponding platform heights from 6 m to 12 m.

Although it may assist stock replenishment and the movement of tools or service components at height, the platform is principally an elevated personnel-access system rather than a pallet lift or general-purpose goods elevator. All operators, tools, replacement parts, and materials carried on the platform must remain within the selected 150 kg to 250 kg safe working load.

Hydraulic Lifting Principle

A hydraulic power unit supplies pressurized fluid to the lifting system, converting hydraulic pressure into the mechanical force required to raise and lower the platform. Hydraulic cylinders operate within the guided twin-mast assembly, producing smooth, straight vertical motion. The dual mast structure supports platform alignment and rigidity during positioning at elevated work points.

Operating power may be provided by a 24V DC battery arrangement or a 230V AC supply, depending on mobility, facility power availability, and expected duty cycle. Platform controls permit the operator to manage vertical movement directly, while the mobile chassis allows the lowered unit to be manually repositioned between work areas.

Application Fit

The platform is best suited to planned or recurring indoor work where access height, floor condition, aisle width, and load requirements are known. Typical workflows include moving the unit to a service location, deploying the stabilizing arrangement, loading authorized personnel and tools, raising the platform, completing the task, and lowering it before repositioning. Non-marking solid tyres support movement across suitable finished industrial floors.

Selection should account for the absence of horizontal outreach and powered travel. Where work requires movement across uneven terrain, outdoor exposure, capacity above 250 kg, reach beyond 14 m, or lateral positioning around obstacles, a self-propelled platform, scissor lift, or boom lift may be more appropriate.

Applications

Factory Equipment Maintenance

Production equipment often includes motors, sensors, guarding, cable routes, extraction systems, and service points located above normal working level. The Dual Mast Aerial Work Platform can be positioned on a suitable factory floor to give technicians stable access for inspection, adjustment, cleaning, and component replacement. Its compact chassis helps reduce interference with adjacent machinery where floor space is limited.

Tools and replacement components may be carried on the platform within its rated load, reducing repeated climbing and equipment setup. Smooth hydraulic positioning helps technicians align the platform with the specific elevation of the service point.

Warehouse Rack Access

In warehouses, the platform supports high-level rack inspection, location verification, inventory adjustment, and selected stock replenishment involving manageable cartons, bins, or maintenance materials. It can be pushed through compatible aisles while lowered and positioned beneath the required rack level. Platform dimensions may be selected to balance operator space, tool storage, and aisle clearance.

The unit does not replace a pallet stacker or forklift for bulk pallet movement. Its role is operator access and limited handling of items that remain within the safe working load and can be controlled safely from the guarded platform.

Lighting And Electrical Service

Industrial lighting, cable trays, junction boxes, utility lines, and overhead electrical equipment require periodic inspection and service. The platform provides straight vertical access to these assets without the larger footprint or outreach mechanism associated with boom-type equipment. Precise lift control enables the operator to approach the required working elevation without unnecessary repositioning.

Before work begins, the electrical system being serviced should be isolated according to site procedures. The platform must remain on a level surface, with clear space around the chassis and overhead work zone.

HVAC And Facility Servicing

Air-handling components, ducts, vents, filters, pipework, and ceiling-mounted facility equipment are often distributed across production and commercial buildings. A push-around aerial platform allows maintenance teams to move between service points on compatible indoor floors. Battery operation can support cordless mobility, while an AC-powered configuration may suit areas with accessible facility power and longer stationary work periods.

Platform size and rated load should be selected for the intended operator count, tools, filters, and replacement parts. Larger components must not be handled if their size or mass compromises platform capacity, guardrail protection, or operator stability.

Overhead Conveyor Maintenance

Conveyor drives, sensors, support structures, lubrication points, and control devices may be installed above production or logistics routes. The compact vertical lift can provide access from below where the floor is level and sufficient clearance exists around the conveyor structure. This is useful for planned inspection, fault diagnosis, and replacement of serviceable components.

Because the platform provides vertical travel only, the chassis must be aligned with the work point before elevation. Conveyors and nearby machinery should be isolated against unexpected movement in accordance with the facility's maintenance safety procedure.

Automation System Support

Automated production cells and material-flow systems can include elevated sensors, scanners, cable networks, control enclosures, and mechanical interfaces. The platform supports technicians performing calibration, inspection, cable maintenance, or component replacement above the production line. Its guided mast movement helps maintain controlled positioning in areas where accurate access matters.

Work-zone planning remains essential around automated equipment. Access should be coordinated with production shutdowns, machinery isolation, floor-level exclusion controls, and the clearances required to raise and lower the platform safely.

Airport And Commercial Facilities

Large commercial buildings and airport facilities contain lighting, signs, utilities, HVAC elements, and service equipment at elevated locations. On level indoor surfaces, the platform can be moved between scheduled maintenance points without using equipment intended for rough terrain. Non-marking tyres help protect finished floors during appropriate push-around movement.

The compact arrangement is beneficial in service corridors and operational zones where space is controlled, although public access must be restricted during use. Route surveys should verify doorway dimensions, aisle width, overhead clearance, floor capacity, and safe storage locations before deployment.

Benefits

Stable Work Positioning

The twin aluminium mast arrangement increases platform rigidity and guides the platform through straight vertical travel. This supports controlled positioning when technicians need to work on electrical fittings, conveyors, HVAC components, or production equipment at a defined elevation. Reduced platform movement can improve operator confidence and the ability to use tools accurately.

This benefit depends on correct setup, stabilizer use, rated loading, and a level supporting floor. The dual mast structure does not make the platform suitable for uneven ground, excessive side loading, or work requiring horizontal outreach.

Faster Maintenance Setup

A mobile push-around chassis allows a lowered platform to be moved between nearby indoor work points without repeatedly assembling access structures. Once correctly positioned and stabilized, the hydraulic lifting system raises the operator to the service height. This can reduce transition time during repetitive inspection and facility maintenance workflows.

Direct platform controls also help the operator refine vertical position without relying on manual ladder adjustment. The resulting workflow supports more organized maintenance while preserving the need for pre-use checks and controlled work-zone setup.

Confined Area Access

The compact chassis is intended for environments where aisle width and usable floor area constrain equipment selection. It can support narrow-aisle rack inspection, production-line maintenance, utility servicing, and access between fixed facility assets. Configurable platform dimensions allow the working area to be matched more closely to operator occupancy, tools, and available clearance.

Procurement teams should evaluate the complete operating envelope rather than chassis width alone. Turning space, stabilizer deployment, platform dimensions, mast clearance, access routes, and emergency egress all influence suitability.

Flexible Power Selection

A 24V DC battery configuration supports mobile operation without maintaining a power cable connection during lifting. A 230V AC arrangement may be selected where facility power is consistently available and the intended operating pattern favors mains supply. This choice enables the power system to be aligned with site mobility and duty-cycle requirements.

Battery configurations require an appropriate charging and storage area, while AC systems require a safe and suitable electrical connection. Power selection should be confirmed during application review rather than treated as interchangeable after commissioning.

Application Matched Configuration

Working height, rated load, platform dimensions, controls, power supply, and environmental finish can be configured around the intended task. This helps avoid selecting a platform that is unnecessarily large for a narrow aisle or inadequately rated for operators, tools, and maintenance materials. Control arrangements may include joystick, multifunction, or proportional functions depending on the engineered operating method.

Powder-coated, epoxy-coated, corrosion-resistant, or cold-storage-compatible finishes may also be specified for demanding environments. These options remain subject to application requirements and engineering evaluation.

Technical Highlights

Twin Mast Structure

Two aluminium masts form the principal guided lifting structure, improving rigidity and supporting stable vertical alignment of the operator platform. The mast assembly works with the hydraulic cylinders to guide elevation and descent. This arrangement is especially relevant at greater platform heights and where controlled positioning is required in restricted indoor spaces.

Mast travel may be selected to provide a working height from 8 m to 14 m and a platform height from 6 m to 12 m. The appropriate range should be based on the highest work point, operator working position, and surrounding overhead clearances.

Hydraulic Lift System

The lifting mechanism uses a hydraulic power unit and cylinders to raise and lower the platform through the twin-mast guide structure. Controlled hydraulic movement supports smooth positioning and avoids the stepped access associated with ladders or fixed platforms. The system is designed for vertical movement and does not provide lateral outreach.

Hydraulic oil condition, hoses, fittings, cylinders, and moving mast elements require periodic attention. The emergency lowering arrangement provides a means of returning the platform to ground level if normal powered lowering is unavailable.

Platform And Load Range

The available safe working load is 150 kg to 250 kg, with operator capacity of one or two persons subject to the selected rating. The total load calculation must include operators, tools, spare parts, instruments, and any materials brought onto the platform. Overload protection is incorporated to prevent operation under excessive loading conditions.

Platform dimensions range from approximately 600 x 600 mm to 800 x 1,000 mm. Selection should consider occupancy, operator movement, tool handling, guardrail clearance, access openings, and the footprint available at the site.

Mobile Chassis Design

The platform is installed on a push-around mobile chassis fitted with non-marking solid tyres. This arrangement allows convenient manual repositioning on clean, level, stable indoor floors and helps avoid marking suitable finished surfaces. It is not a self-propelled drive system, so relocation should occur only with the platform fully lowered and in accordance with operating instructions.

Floor condition directly affects maneuverability and setup stability. Rough, sloped, damaged, debris-covered, or uneven surfaces can make the push-around configuration unsuitable and should trigger evaluation of alternative access equipment.

Controls And Power

Platform controls provide direct lifting and lowering operation from the elevated work position, with control layouts configurable for the intended operating method. Joystick, multifunction, or proportional arrangements may be specified depending on project requirements. Ground-level control and emergency functions should remain accessible to authorized personnel during operation.

Power can be supplied by a 24V DC battery system or 230V AC source. The final arrangement should reflect operating frequency, movement between work zones, charging provisions, cable-management requirements, and available facility infrastructure.

Integrated Safety Systems

The safety arrangement includes an emergency stop, emergency lowering system, overload protection, tilt warning alarm, platform guardrails, stabilizer interlocks, and an audible warning alarm. These systems address movement control, excessive loading, platform instability, fall exposure, and emergency recovery. Hydraulic safeguards also help control descent within the lifting system.

Safety devices support, but do not replace, trained operation and correct setup. They should be function-tested during commissioning and checked routinely according to equipment documentation and site procedures.

Industries Served

Manufacturing And Engineering

Manufacturing and engineering plants use elevated access for production-line maintenance, tooling support, equipment inspection, utility servicing, and attention to overhead process infrastructure. Technicians may carry diagnostic instruments, production tools, fixtures, or replacement components within the platform's rated capacity. Compact push-around mobility supports work between machinery where floor routes are suitable.

The platform can be configured around line height, available aisle space, operator count, and facility power. It is especially applicable where stable vertical access is needed without horizontal outreach.

Warehousing And Logistics

Warehouses and logistics facilities require access to upper rack levels, inventory locations, signs, lighting, scanners, conveyors, and building services. The platform supports inspection, stock adjustment, order-related access, and maintenance involving cartons, bins, tools, or service parts that remain safely manageable within the platform. Its non-marking tyres are suited to compatible indoor warehouse floors.

Aisle width, rack clearances, traffic interaction, and stabilizer deployment must be assessed. Bulk pallets and heavy goods should continue to be handled with equipment designed for pallet transport and stacking.

Automotive Production

Automotive facilities contain assembly lines, tooling stations, overhead conveyors, utility distribution, automation equipment, and elevated fixtures. The platform allows maintenance teams to reach these assets for inspection, adjustment, and replacement work. Operators may bring tooling sets, spare parts, sensors, or small fixtures onto the platform within the selected load rating.

A compact chassis can help coordinate access around production equipment, but work should be integrated with line shutdown, machinery isolation, and controlled pedestrian or vehicle movement.

Food And Beverage

Food and beverage operations use overhead conveyors, packaging equipment, lighting, ventilation systems, and utility services that require recurring access. The platform can support inspection and maintenance where environmental conditions are compatible with the equipment configuration. Appropriate finishes may be specified to address demanding indoor conditions, subject to engineering evaluation.

Cleaning practices, corrosion exposure, hygiene zoning, and floor condition should be discussed during selection. The unit should not be exposed to substances or washdown conditions beyond its configured environmental suitability.

Pharmaceutical Facilities

Pharmaceutical production and storage environments often require controlled maintenance of lighting, HVAC components, utilities, packaging systems, and elevated inventory locations. Smooth vertical positioning supports technicians carrying inspection instruments, packaged components, maintenance tools, or secondary packaging materials within the rated load. Compact access can also help reduce unnecessary equipment intrusion into constrained operational zones.

Finish selection, cleaning compatibility, charging location, and movement between controlled areas require project-specific review. Facility procedures remain responsible for contamination control and area clearance.

Commercial And Aviation Facilities

Commercial buildings and airports require access to signs, lighting, ceiling services, HVAC equipment, cable routes, and facility systems spread across large indoor areas. A battery-powered configuration can support movement between work locations, while the push-around chassis suits level floors and planned maintenance routes. Non-marking tyres help preserve appropriate finished surfaces.

Operational planning should account for public access, security restrictions, doorway clearances, and exclusion zones. Frequent travel over very large floor areas may favor a self-propelled platform instead.

Industrial Maintenance Services

Maintenance contractors often encounter different work heights, access restrictions, power availability, and environmental conditions across client sites. Configurable working height, platform size, load rating, controls, power arrangement, and finish allow the platform to be specified for a defined service profile. It can support electrical, HVAC, automation, conveyor, and general facility maintenance.

Where projects involve uneven floors, harsh outdoor weather, loads above 250 kg, reach beyond 14 m, or significant horizontal outreach, contractors should select a different platform type rather than extending the dual mast unit beyond its intended application.

Why Choose NIO Equipment

Application Specific Engineering

Nio Equipment evaluates the access task rather than treating working height as the only selection criterion. Platform load, operator count, tools, floor condition, aisle width, work-point geometry, environmental exposure, power availability, and movement frequency all influence the appropriate configuration. This application-based approach helps align the equipment with the actual maintenance or warehouse workflow.

Engineering consultation is particularly important when loads approach 250 kg, platform dimensions differ from typical ranges, unusual controls are required, or the operating environment creates corrosion or cold-storage concerns.

Configurable Platform Design

Nio Equipment can configure working height, rated platform load, platform dimensions, power supply, control arrangement, environmental finish, operator capacity settings, and platform access details. These choices enable the Dual Mast Aerial Work Platform to be adapted to specific racks, utilities, machinery, and overhead service points. Configuration remains subject to technical evaluation and the safe operating envelope.

Available finish approaches may include powder coating, epoxy coating, corrosion-resistant treatment, or cold-storage-compatible preparation. Controls may also be arranged around the intended operator method and site practices.

In House Manufacturing Capability

As an India-based industrial equipment manufacturer in Pune, Maharashtra, Nio Equipment combines equipment design and manufacturing with knowledge of hydraulic lifting and material handling systems. This capability supports coordination between mast geometry, platform layout, chassis arrangement, hydraulic operation, controls, and safety functions. Buyers can therefore discuss the complete application rather than sourcing unrelated elements separately.

The result is a product definition tied to the buyer's facility conditions, not an unsupported promise that one standard layout suits every site.

Site Planning Support

Nio Equipment can assist with installation planning, operating-envelope review, power selection, floor and route assessment, commissioning, and workflow integration. This is valuable where narrow aisles, overhead obstructions, public access, automated equipment, or restricted charging areas affect deployment. Project review can also identify when a dual mast platform is not the appropriate equipment.

Applications involving outdoor exposure, uneven terrain, horizontal outreach, frequent long-distance repositioning, or height above 14 m may warrant consideration of another aerial platform configuration.

Lifecycle Service Support

Installation, commissioning, and after-sales support help establish correct operation and maintenance from initial handover. Commissioning can confirm hydraulic movement, control response, alarms, overload protection, stabilizer interlocks, emergency stop, and emergency lowering functions. Operator familiarization and maintenance planning can then be aligned with the supplied configuration.

Ongoing support is relevant when service teams need assistance with hydraulic components, mast condition, controls, safety systems, or configuration-specific replacement requirements. This provides procurement and engineering teams with a defined support path for the equipment lifecycle.

Installation Guide

Site And Route Assessment

Installation planning begins with a survey of the delivery route, storage location, operating aisles, doorways, turning areas, and intended work points. The survey should account for the lowered equipment envelope, selected platform dimensions, stabilizer deployment space, mast elevation path, and overhead obstructions. Emergency exits and normal material-flow routes must remain usable.

Because the platform is push-around equipment, route condition is particularly important. Slopes, thresholds, floor joints, debris, restricted corners, and congested production areas should be identified before the unit is introduced.

Floor Support Conditions

The operating surface must be level, stable, and capable of supporting the equipment and its rated operating load. Floor capacity and condition should be verified for the chassis and stabilizer contact points, particularly near floor edges, service trenches, covers, drains, or repaired areas. A reinforced industrial floor may be required depending on site construction and the selected platform configuration.

This platform is not intended for rough terrain or uneven outdoor surfaces. If the floor cannot provide stable support, the application should be reviewed rather than corrected through improvised packing or unapproved setup methods.

Operating Envelope Planning

The selected working height must reach the task while leaving adequate clearance from ceilings, beams, ducts, cable trays, conveyors, and other overhead structures. Engineers should consider the operator's working position as well as platform height, since working height and deck elevation are not identical. The lift path must remain clear throughout elevation and descent.

Horizontal reach from the platform should not be used to compensate for incorrect chassis positioning. If the work point cannot be reached by straight vertical travel without excessive leaning or side loading, another access method should be evaluated.

Power And Charging Provisions

A battery-powered unit requires a designated charging location with suitable electrical supply, ventilation, access control, and protection from vehicle traffic or process hazards. The area should also allow routine battery inspection and safe cable handling. Charging practices should follow the supplied equipment and battery documentation.

For a 230V AC configuration, the facility connection, cable route, and isolation arrangement should be planned to prevent damage and trip hazards. Electrical suitability must be verified for the final supplied configuration rather than assumed from nominal voltage alone.

Safety Zone Integration

The operating plan should define how the area beneath and around the elevated platform will be controlled. Barriers, warning signs, spotters, or access restrictions may be required depending on pedestrian traffic, vehicle routes, production activity, and the risk of dropped tools. Guardrails and platform access points must remain unobstructed.

Site procedures should also address machinery isolation where work is performed near conveyors, automated systems, electrical installations, or production equipment. These arrangements are project-specific and should be coordinated with the facility's safety team.

Commissioning And Handover

Commissioning should verify mast movement, hydraulic operation, controls, stabilizer interlocks, overload protection, tilt warning, audible alarm, emergency stop, and emergency lowering functions. The unit should be checked in its intended operating environment, including the selected floor areas and power arrangement. Any configuration-specific limits should be documented before operational release.

Handover should include operator training, emergency response instruction, pre-use inspection requirements, charging or power procedures, and preventive maintenance responsibilities. Nio Equipment can provide installation and commissioning support as part of an application-based supply arrangement.

Maintenance Guide

Pre Use Condition Checks

Before operation, inspect the chassis, mast assembly, platform, guardrails, access point, tyres, stabilizers, and visible fasteners for damage or abnormal condition. Check for hydraulic leakage, worn hoses, loose components, damaged controls, and obstructions around moving parts. Any defect that could affect stability, lifting, guarding, or control should be addressed before use.

A brief operational check should confirm smooth raising and lowering without unusual noise, vibration, binding, or unexpected movement. Inspection findings should be recorded according to the facility's maintenance system.

Hydraulic System Care

Routine maintenance should include inspection of hydraulic oil level and condition, hoses, fittings, cylinders, and connections. Leakage, hose abrasion, damaged fittings, contamination, or irregular cylinder movement can reduce reliability and may indicate a developing failure. Hydraulic work should be performed only after the system is safely isolated and pressure hazards are controlled.

Oil servicing and component replacement should follow the equipment documentation and operating conditions. Unsupported changes to fluid type, pressure settings, valves, or cylinder arrangements can affect safe operation and should not be made.

Mast And Chassis Inspection

The dual mast should be kept clean and its moving elements lubricated as specified for the supplied unit. Inspect guide surfaces, structural connections, cylinder interfaces, and mast components for wear, deformation, corrosion, or contamination. Structural fasteners should be checked periodically and tightened using approved procedures.

The chassis should be examined for distortion, cracked or damaged members, and deterioration around stabilizer and wheel mounting points. Non-marking solid tyres must remain in serviceable condition to support predictable push-around movement.

Controls And Safety Devices

Platform and ground controls should remain clean, legible, secure, and responsive. Periodic function testing should cover the emergency stop, emergency lowering system, overload protection, tilt warning alarm, audible movement warning, and stabilizer interlocks. A bypassed or malfunctioning interlock should be treated as a safety defect rather than an operational inconvenience.

Electrical cables, connectors, switches, and battery-related components should be inspected for damage or contamination. Repairs should preserve the intended fail-safe behavior of the supplied control system.

Planned Service Management

Preventive maintenance frequency should reflect usage, duty cycle, environmental exposure, floor conditions, and the manufacturer's equipment documentation. Platforms used frequently or in dusty, cold, humid, or potentially corrosive areas may require closer inspection than lightly used units in controlled facilities. Environmental finishes reduce exposure risk but do not eliminate maintenance needs.

Service records should identify defects, corrective actions, replaced components, and safety-device test results. Consistent documentation helps engineering teams monitor wear trends and maintain the platform in a reliable operating condition.

Safety Guide

Trained Operator Control

Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the Dual Mast Aerial Work Platform. Training should cover controls, stabilizer deployment, rated capacity, platform access, emergency lowering, alarm response, floor assessment, and site-specific exclusion procedures. Ground personnel should understand how to stop and lower the platform during an emergency.

The equipment should be used only for its designed vertical access role. Operators must not improvise horizontal outreach, move the chassis while elevated, climb on guardrails, or use additional devices on the platform to gain height.

Rated Load Compliance

The selected safe working load of 150 kg to 250 kg includes every operator, tool, service component, and material carried on the platform. Operator capacity is limited to one or two persons subject to that total rating. Loads should be distributed so they do not obstruct controls, access points, or guardrail protection.

The overload protection system helps prevent lifting when capacity is exceeded, but accurate load planning remains necessary. Oversized or awkward components should not be carried if they create instability, wind exposure, entanglement, or manual-handling risks.

Stable Setup Requirements

The unit must be set up on a clean, level, stable surface with stabilizers deployed according to operating instructions. The tilt warning and stabilizer interlocks provide additional protection, but they do not make sloped, weak, damaged, or uneven floors acceptable. Floor openings, edges, trenches, and service covers require particular attention.

Before elevation, the chassis should be aligned directly beneath the work location. Correct positioning reduces the temptation to lean outside the platform or apply side loads to the mast structure.

Clearance And Access Control

Operators should inspect the complete lift path for beams, electrical conductors, pipework, conveyors, signs, cable trays, and other overhead hazards. Safe clearance must be maintained during both elevation and lowering. Work near electrical or moving equipment requires isolation and other controls appropriate to the site's procedures.

Access beneath and around the platform should be restricted while work is underway. Tools and service materials should be secured or controlled to reduce dropped-object risk, particularly in production, warehouse, airport, and public facility environments.

Emergency System Readiness

The emergency stop, emergency lowering system, audible alarm, overload protection, tilt warning, and interlocks should be checked before the platform enters service. Operators and designated ground personnel must know how to use the emergency controls without exposing themselves to additional hazards. Emergency egress routes should remain clear.

If an alarm activates or movement becomes irregular, operation should stop until the cause is identified. Safety devices must not be bypassed to continue a task.

Maintenance Isolation Practices

Maintenance work should begin only after the platform is lowered where possible, power is isolated, and stored hydraulic or mechanical energy is controlled. Lockout and tagout procedures should be applied in accordance with facility requirements and the equipment documentation. Elevated components must not be relied upon without an approved means of support.

Unauthorized structural, hydraulic, electrical, control, platform, or guardrail modifications can alter capacity and safety behavior. Changes to height, load rating, controls, or platform dimensions require engineering review by Nio Equipment.
