New mini telescopic trailer mount

Omme Lift of Denmark is launching new compact straight telescopic trailer mounted lift, with a 12 metre working height and all the features of its larger models.

The Omme Mini 12 has been designed to be towed behind a mid size car or small van and weighs only 1,200kg, is under six metres long, when stowed and retracts to under a metre wide, allowing it to pass through many garden gates to gain access to the rear of single family homes and yet boasts eight metres of outreach.

The specification includes hydraulic outriggers, a1.9 metre articulating jib and self propelled drive allowing one person to move the machine easily over poor ground or on slopes... Being a straight telescopic, the lift not only offers more outreach, even at lower working heights, but the tail swing remains within the outrigger footprint in all configurations.

Vertikal Comment

This looks like a very good lift for contractors who work alone and ”one man bands” such as painters, guttering and facia contractors, glaziers, satelite and antenna installers and even window cleaners. Given its specification it will not be cheap, but this type of user will come under incresing pressure to get off of its ladders and given the short duration of individual jobs will need to look at powered access that they can take with them and access all areas of family homes.
