Since electric energy is used in industry, mass production and various conveniences are provided. To provide convenience for the construction and operation of such electric energy transmission and distribution facilities, it is increasing that the demand for special purpose vehicles, that is, telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. When working active electric work using the telescopic aerial work platform vehicles, due to active electric work is inevitable, it is essential to ensure insulation performance for the safety of the operator. In this paper, we study the design and development of mechanical properties for filament winding process of glassfiber/epoxy composite, it is required to boom of telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. The glass fiber/epoxy composite filament winding process and its mechanical properties were evaluated to replace the existing ATOS80 boom. By filament winding process it was obtained the mechanical properties required for the design analysis of the glass fiber/epoxy composite boom. Using this, the insulated boom for the 30m class aerial work vehicle was designed and was manufactured by applying the filament winding process. The fabricated composite boom was evaluated by the static strength test to meet the required strength. The maximum displacement was 84mm and the crack occurred at the maximum load of 8981N. It satisfied the maximum lifting load of 4900N and 210mm the maximum displacement required for the boom.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the structural stability of 30m fly(maximum working radius of 30m) and telescopic boom with composition. In order to reduce the weight and insulate, the boom of special vehicle has a 3-stage telescopic boom of DOMEX960, pocket part of acetal, 2-stage refracting boom of ATOS80, insulation boom of glass fiber composition and effector. In this process, CATIA is applied to create 3D modeling, then ANSYS are performed the structural analysis. The structural analysis is performed for a case where the thickness of the insulating boom of the ATOS 80 is 7[㎜] and the thickness of the insulating boom of the FRP material is 15[㎜] and 16[㎜].

When working on electrical wiring and cable, Electrically insulated aerial work platforms must be used to prevent the electrocution hazards. Aerial work platforms with composition boom is able to increase the weight and height of the workspace due to the lightweight of boom. The aim of this paper is to clarify structural stability of 3 stage telescopic booms having an operator platform and an upper boom of composition(Fiber Reinforced Plastic) by comparing the general telescopic booms with steel material using computational analysis.
