PB goes higher

German aerial lift manufacturer PB Lifttechnik has launched the 117ft S370-24 ES 4x4 scissor lift, the company’s largest model so far – possibly the largest self-propelled scissor lift on the market.

The new battery powered mega scissor lift offers a maximum working height of 37.5 metres, with a massive 10.5 x 2.11 metre platform with a capacity of 750kg – with an indoor rating with up to four people in the platform. It has an overall width of 2.4 metres and a length of 10.5 metres and weighs 34 tonnes. Four wheel steer plus four wheel drive, helps what is a relatively long machine manoeuvre, while in board jacks provide automatic levelling on uneven ground - important in that it needs to be within one degree of level to operate - while the unit can drive at heights of up to 20 metres.

The first three units are due to ship shortly to the first customers.

Vertikal Comment

This looks like an interesting machine and could prove popular for installation work in high rise warehousing. It is though a long machine - some three metres longer than the 112ft Holland Lift HL-340, currently the highest scissor lift on the market. However it is also considerable narrower at 2.4 metres compared to almost three metres on the Holland Lift unit. But then the platform capacity is a trade off at 750kg compared to 1,000kg, but does have a longer platform – almost a metre longer, but that is partly offset by the fact that it is almost 700mm narrower than the Holland Lift.
