JLG 670S in Germany

German rental company Hainthaler has taken delivery of the first 67ft JLG 670S self levelling boom to arrive in Germany. Launched in its most recent format at Conexpo Las Vegas in 2020, the model, until now, has only been available in North America.

In addition to its dynamic levelling on the move, the unit offers a working height of 22.3 metres, a maximum outreach of 17.5 metres with the unrestricted platform capacity of 250kg, or just over 15 metres with the 340kg maximum capacity. Overall width is 2.5 metres, with an overall length of 10.7 metres and a height of up to 2.77 metres, which can be lowered to 2.22 metres for transport. Ground clearance is 330mm and the machine has an all up weight of 11.5 tonnes.

It incorporates a patented dynamic self-levelling technology that automatically adapts to slopes of up to 10 degrees in any direction while driving at full height. Each wheel is mounted on an independent control arm, constantly adjusted by hydraulic cylinders that keep the base machine level. It also has two other operating modes, one to allow manual levelling and another to lower the overall height for travel on steeper slopes and transport.

Josef Hainthaler owner of Hainthaler said: "For 40 years, we have been relying on innovations that bring our customers advantages such as making work easier. We operate in a hilly region, with many uneven construction sites. It is extremely convenient for our customers if they do not need to prepare the floor or plan time for the assembly and dismantling of support, when using a work platform.”

Established in 1983, Hainthaler is based in Bad Birnbach near Deggendorf, south east Germany. The company runs a fleet of aerial lifts, telehandlers and forklifts and is a member of System Lift, the association of independent rental companies.
