The lift uses a scissor lift sized platform on top of a fully insulated telescopic boom, outreach is just over seven metres and platform capacity 450kg. The superstructure has 360 degrees of slew and the platform is connected to the boom by a slew ring allowing it to rotate freely.

The road rail machine can travel at up to 30kph on rails or 10kph in work mode – on the road it can exceed 100kph. The award was presented to ACM managing director Ben Potter by former member of the house of representatives Lindsay Tanner
