Italian truck mounted lift manufacturer Comet has finalised its new range of Leopard spider lifts with working heights of up to 25 metres. The move back into spider lifts began last year following the opening of a new facility which is building the new models.

The 14m Leopard 14

The full specifications for the new models are still preliminary, but the new line up includes four models with working heights of 14, 18, 21 and 25 metres, along with a model insulated to 46kV. All four offer a choice of petrol, diesel or lithium battery power options. A 230 volt AC motor is also available as an addition to the main power source when quiet emissions free operation is required.

Comet’s new Leopard 18

The ultra-compact Leopard 14 has an overall weight of under 1.5 tonnes, while the three larger models are also said to be relatively light for their height and outreach. The overall stowed width of the Leopard 14 and Leopard 18 is 780mm, the Leopard 21 is 800mm and the Leopard 25 just over a metre. All four feature hydraulically extending non-marking tracks for additional stability when travelling. Radio remote controls are standard as is one button, automatic levelling outriggers and an auto stow feature. The three larger models have unrestricted maximum platform capacities of 250kg, while the 14 metre unit is 200kg. Maximum outreach is 6.5, 7.5, 9.0 and 11.5 metres respectively.
