New lightweight van mounts from Time

Time International claims it has developed the world’s lightest series of van mounted platforms.

The Light Duty series consist of the 9.2 metre ETL-26-115 and 10.5 metre ETL-30-130-F - the latter features a 90 degree articulated jib, A-frame outriggers and dual joystick ‘Inlet Proportional Controls’.

Weighing just under 3,000kg the new van mounts leave more spare capacity for equipment and customisation than before when using the 3.5 tonne vehicle.

Time expects the models will be a popular choice for street light maintenance. The low weight has been achieved through a combination of innovations and by using a shorter and lower Mercedes Sprinter van with a wheelbase of just 3,250mm.

Time International chief executive Per Torp, said: “Previously, technicians were restricted with a 3.5 tonne van mounted access platform because the weight quickly approached and even exceeded the 3.5 tonne mark as fuel, people, equipment and cargo essential to everyday use was loading onto the vehicle. That is no longer an issue in the new Light Duty series."

“Versalift is the best selling van mounted access platform with three out of every four van mounted access platforms sold worldwide. Time International has 40 years of experience developing van mounted access platforms and the new Versalift Light Duty series is the result of many years of incremental innovations that has finally pushed the total weight under the 3,000kg mark without compromising build quality or user safety.”
