The new machine has a working height of 26.5 metres, and unrestricted outreach of 12.2 metres with 136 kg platform capacity, at an up and over height of 13 metres.

Features also include hydraulic circuit for saw hook up and 180 degrees of platform rotation.

The overall stowed width is 1.1 metres, with the tracks extending to 1.5 metres once on site for improved stability. Overall height is 2.4 metres and stowed overall length 10.24 metres while the machine weighs 6,075kg. It can also set up on slopes as steep as 40 percent. The diesel/battery hybrid power pack with engine generated re-charge is standard. As are radio remote controls.

Chief executive Axel Thøgersen said: “It is our finest job to help professionals work safely at height. This lift provides a safe foundation for trades such as tree workers, allowing them to work safer within a close distance to powerlines.”
