Abstract :
This work presents an electrically assisted automatic elevator system for maintenance of street lights. The system was installed in a public illumination maintenance truck. It consists of a telescopic column, a base structure, and a platform. The whole operation is monitored and controlled by a PLC. The system aims at reducing efforts in maintenance tasks as well as improving the work conditions for the electricians.
