Analysis of the Russian market of bricklayer's platform

The article analyses the Russian market of bricklayer's platforms in terms of using them during frame-monolithic construction due to the fact that it is widely spread. Based on the working conditions arising from this technology, as well as ensuring bricklayers’ safe operation, high performance efficiency, moderate labour effort, the general parameters of the existing platforms were identified. To assess the significance of a particular parameter, each of them was assigned significance coefficients, determined by an expert method. As a result of the platform analysis for the compliance with the parameters, it was found that none of the platforms have a maximum relative significance coefficient, and therefore, do not have all the necessary useful parameters. Subsequently, the relationship of the price to such useful parameters as load capacity, lift height and the area of the working surface of the platforms was analysed. The significance of various parameters of the platforms for the construction of frame-monolithic buildings was assessed. As a result, the issue of the lack of supply that would meet all the parameters in the modern Russian market was identified. To find a solution, a morphological table was designed to describe all the possible platform options.
