Abstract
An AWP boom is coupled to a platform rotator through a novel load sensing linkage system which provides both structural support and load sensing capabilities of an attached platform support structure. The load sensing linkage system includes an upper flex plate and a lower flex plate and a single load cell for load sensing capabilities. The flex plates provide for stiffness in all directions except where necessary for load sensing.
