Teupen unveils new Leo19T

Spider lift manufacturer Teupen has unveiled its new 19 metre Leo19T at a demonstration day at its headquarters in Gronau, Germany.

The Leo19T is the next generation of straight telescopic boom machines in the company's medium working height class.

“The previous Leo19T has not been built since 2008,” said Jens Meyer, area sales manager for Northern Germany. “Over the past two years’ customers have continually asked us to do something new in this height segment.”

The new Leo19T has little in common with its predecessor although it does use the same 990mm wide chassis of the Leo21GT and Leo24GT and the same high-strength steel, resulting in a 250kg platform capacity and 13.5 metres outreach with a maximum of 14.5 metres outreach with 80kg.

“In future, these models will be almost identical up to the superstructure,” said project manager Matthias Verrieth. “This way we can use the same capabilities over a wider range of products, especially when the lift is set up in the field.”

Outreach with 250kg in the basket is 13.5 metres but can be extended to 14.5 metres outreach with 80kg in the basket.

With its automatic high lift levelling system the Leo19T can even achieve an additional 1.2 metres of height. Other features include a ‘home function’ which automatically returns the boom into its stowed position along with the all new ‘memory function’. Any point in the working envelope can be saved and returned to at the push of a button. All functions are available from the remote radio controller which is standard as is a 50 litre storage box.

Features include a ‘home' and 'memory' function.

“We thought that the emergency system should work with a simple 1-2-3 principle on one well laid out control panel,” said Verrieth. “With an electric auxiliary powered lowering system with its own battery we also wanted to include an additional safety feature into the standard configuration of the lift making the hand pump obsolete.”
