Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / lifting platforms on rooftop antenna installations
German term or phrase: Hubsteiger
Ein ungehinderter Zugang, 24 Stunden am Tag, ist nicht notwendig. Beim Zugang zur Antennenanlage auf Dächern sollte generell versucht werden, diesen Standort als Hebebühnenstandort ( = Besteigung der Antennentragrohre wird durch Hubsteiger ersetzt) auszulegen. Dabei ist in der Dokumentation zwingend der Aufstellungs-Ort des Hebebühnenwagens anzugeben. Ebenso ist die Erreichbarkeit aller Antennen durch den Hebebühnenwagen, geeignet zu dokumentieren. Der für einen Hebebühnenwagen vorgesehene Aufstellungs-Ort muss jederzeit, innerhalb einer 24h Frist, zugänglich sein bzw gemacht werden können. Die dafür vorgesehene Fläche muss jederzeit anfahrbar sein und darf nicht durch z.B. Oberleitungen oder Bäume die Befahrung der Antennenträger verhindern.

lifting aerial platform


Explanation:
A "Steiger" can be an aerial platform, and I think there's a reasonable chance that this is what it is here. "Hub" used as a suffix tends to mean "lifting", hence "lifting aerial platform". Hope this helps.

lifting boom


Explanation:
I have proposed "aerial lift truck" for the Hebebühne question, but I not sure how best to translate Hubsteiger. Maybe as above. My thinking is that the Hubsteiger is the riser/lifter more than the platform, and replaces the climbing, so the translation should refer more to the boom than to the platform.
