Bluelift to unveil 18m Spider lift

Italian crane and aerial lift manufacturer Bluelift will unveil the SA18, a new compact 18 metre spider lift at Bauma in April.

The new machine will have a working height of 17.6 metres, with a twin arm sigma riser, three section telescopic boom and articulating jib. Maximum up and over reach is seven metres at which the maximum outreach is nine metres - although with only 80kg platform capacity. Outreach with the full 230kg is 6.5 metres.

Vertikal Comment

Bluelift has made solid progress with its spider lift range, with the 22 metre C22 currently its most popular. This new unit looks like another potential winner.
