New Custom-Made ARMO Platform: Special Protection for Outdoor Installations

A new custom-made ARMO platform demonstrates once again how customisation and careful consideration of operating conditions are essential when designing a solution built to perform reliably over time.

For this particular project, intended for outdoor operation, ARMO developed a specific configuration featuring a metallised protective coating and a stainless steel top plate.

Metallisation is a protective treatment specifically suited to outdoor applications. When a platform is installed outdoors, its structural steelwork is more exposed to weather conditions and therefore requires an appropriate level of protection.

For over 20 years, ARMO has used a special metallisation-based surface treatment cyclefor applications requiring enhanced protection, designed to increase the durability and resistance of the equipment.

For this project, the treatment cycle includes:

  • sandblasting of the structural steelwork;
  • application of a metallised base coat (cold galvanising);
  • two-component epoxy primer;
  • RAL 9007 grey polyurethane finish;

for an overall coating thickness of approximately 150 microns.

The configuration is completed by a stainless steel top plate, a solution particularly well suited to the specific requirements of this installation.

Designing a custom-made platform means taking into account not only its dimensions, load capacity and operating characteristics, but also the environment in which the equipment will operate.

The choice of materials and surface treatments therefore becomes an integral part of the design process, particularly when the installation is exposed to outdoor environmental conditions.

This is the approach we apply to our custom-made lifting platforms: we develop each project around the customer’s actual requirements, identifying the most appropriate technical solutions to ensure strength, reliability and long-term durability.
