Using the Socage boom, the A314 offers 13.5 metres working height and 6.5 metres outreach. It has a basket capacity of 200kg and 360 degree rotation with no load cell restrictions. According to Paul Murphy, managing director of Cumberland Industries, the platform is an effective off road vehicle and compliments the Defender A314 model that Cumberland and Socage released two years ago.
