Features include multi position outriggers, automatic levelling, automatic centring of the superstructure /boom and a standard Honda 15HP engine with electric motor for indoor use. An optional single cylinder diesel can be matched with a Lithium ion-battery pack to create a true hybrid machine, or the machine can be specified as a pure battery powered unit.

The new spider lift will join a 22 metre Bluelift SA22 that Pinnacle has been running since the start of this year. Owner Greg Templeman, said: We have been working with the Reachmaster team for a long time now. We are very happy with B85/SA26. It has the superb performance and build quality and will be a great addition to our range. The new machine will be welcomed by our operators, many of whom are already familiar with Bluelift booms and confident in their operation.”
