Socage upgrades A314

Socage has upgraded its 13.5 metre Isuzu D-Max pick-up mounted A314 work platform.

The upgraded model, designated the A314 Forste, is designed for off-road work, has 270 degrees of slew and a platform capacity of 225kg.

The upgrades include: a new automatic greasing/lubrication system, a simplified and more user friendly control panel, a lighter structure to increase the vehicle payload, the introduction of 180 degrees platform rotation which also helps improve the outreach to 7.2 metres and the addition of a second set of outriggers and new ground controls for better levelling and stability on rough terrain.

The Forste will be on show at this year’s SAIE in Bologna in mid-October. The Forste branding is intended to help promote the children’s heart charity Forste which will be looking to sign up new members/supporters at the show.
