Single-mast mobile lifting platforms currently available in the market are plagued by critical limitations during aerial operations. Specifically, when moving with heavy loads at height, they are prone to balance loss and tipping, posing severe safety hazards. Their application is restricted to perfectly flat surfaces, significantly narrowing their operational scope. Moreover, material replenishment necessitates lowering the platform to the ground, leading to inefficient workflows. This study presents a portable insulated single-mast mobile lifting platform designed to address these issues. It enables stable movement during aerial operations and eliminates the need for frequent lifting/lowering for material replenishment. Through coordinated efforts between ground personnel and aerial operators, materials can be supplied rapidly and efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of aerial work. Field validation confirms its high practicality in real-world scenarios.
