Multitel hybrid in production

Italian truck mount and spider lift manufacturer Multitel Pagliero has entered the production phase for its new 16 metre Mulitel 160 Hybrid truck mounted platform.

The new aerial lift, mounted on a 3.5 tonne Iveco Daily chassis, provides 10 metres of outreach and a maximum platform capacity of 200kg. The company says it can be charged from empty to full in under four hours.

The platform can be operated either via the vehicle's PTO pump, or via the on board battery pack, which will allow the platform to be operated for a whole day.

The batteries power an electric motor which in turn powers a hydraulic pump to drive the platform. As the vehicle moves from one job site to another the batteries are recharged by the second alternator while the main alternator charges the vehicle battery as normal.

Multitel says it also plans to add more models to its Eco Hybrid range soon.
