First UK Platform Basket 30T spider lift to MBS

Specialist spider lift rental company MBS Access has purchased the first 30 metre telescopic hybrid Platform Basket 30T in the UK from local distributor Promax Access.

The 30T hybrid - which features a lithium battery and Kubota diesel - has a five section straight telescopic boom with articulating jib giving a 30.3 metre maximum working height, 14.2 metre maximum outreach and 230kg platform capacity with fully automatic working envelope monitoring.

When set-up with the outriggers in the narrow position, it has a maximum outreach of 18.5 metres over the front or rear of the machine with 136kg capacity.

The lift has an overall stowed width of 890mm and an overall height of 1.96 metres. Overall length is 6.52 metres. For extra stability when travelling the tracks can be extended to a width of 1.29 metres. Given its performance the 30T is also relatively lightweight at 4,250kg.

Ben Dobson of MBS Access said: “The 30T is an amazing machine and a real gamechanger in the 30 metre tracked spider market. We decided to purchase it because of its innovative overall size and ability to go through doorways less than a metre wide. Also being fully hybrid we can use the lift indoors with a simple flick of a switch. The guys at Promax did a lot of research into the machine on our behalf to ensure it was what we and our customers needed.”
