JLG launches new Toucan

JLG has unveiled a new six metre platform height Toucan mast boom at this week’s IMHX show in Birmingham, UK.

The new indoor/outdoor rated Toucan 8E has a platform height of 20ft/ 6.15 metres, an outreach of 2.35 metres with an 850mm x 900mm platform, with an optional 1.1m x 900mm XL basket available which features entrance gates either side.

The 8E is compact with a 990mm overall width and 2.10 metres overall length, a key advantage is its extra ground clearance at 100mm, and break angle of 25 degrees, allowing it to travel over door thresholds, while coping better with loading ramps on transport vehicles.

Drive is direct electric with AC brushless wheel motors, which combined with a low gross weight provides good battery life, no matter the application.
JLG is expecting to ship the first 8E, from its Tonneins plant early in 2011.
