Abstract
An adjustable personnel platform (38) is rotatably fastened on a lift tower end, with a carrying arm (42) and a pivot link (43) in the pivot plane of the elements (15, 21, 26) of the lift tower. It is automatically held horizontal through a reversable electric motor (96) and a speed translating drive (66, 67) as well as through a control surrounding a regulator with an inclination measuring device (92). The speed translating gear drive (66, 67) directly drives the rotatable part (64) of the pivot link (43). Between carrying arm (42) and the motor a plurality of direction changing couplings (81, 86) are provided. They arrest the rotation of the carrying arm (42) in both directions of rotation and release the rotary direction of the carrying arm (42) in a respective one of the rotary directions of the motor (97).
