Sinoboom extends 'N' boom line

Sinoboom has added two new Narrow electric articulating boom lifts to its product line, the 43ft AB13ERJN and 48ft AB15ERJN, with working heights of 15 and 16.8 metres respectively. Their design concept follows that of the AB10ERJN launched in June 2023.

The new models are designed to reach and work in tight workspaces, such as found between machine tools or production lines in manufacturing facilities etc….

The lift mechanism is a classic dual riser, two section telescopic boom and a jib with 140 degrees of articulation on the AB13 and 100 degrees on the AB15, for a maximum outreach of 7.4 metres at an up & over height of six metres on the AB13 and 7.1 metres at a height of eight metres on the AB15. The unrestricted platform capacity on both is 230kg with a full 180 degrees of platform rotation.

Both machines have an overall width of 1.5 metres, and an overall stowed height of just under two metres, while the AB13 is 5.4 metres long in stowed for transport mode, while the AB15 is 5.82 metres long. Total weight is 7,700kg and 8,500kg respectively.

The standard battery packs are lead acid, with the option of Lithium, driving AC direct drive wheel motors. Finally slew is 355 degrees, with zero tailswing - BUT the risers on the 15 are on the long side, which therefore requires a decent ceiling height in order to be able to slew fully in a tight aisle, they also limiting the outreach, but on the other hand provide a better up & over reach… as always its ‘horses for courses’. Check out out comparison below.

Sinoboom's head of product planning Peter Peng said: “Our customers and partners have been very happy with the AB10ERJN predecessor machine, appreciating its ability to get around confined work places and reach tricky work targets more easily. These two models give that same flexibility, with even greater height and reach, making them suitable for a broader range of uses.”

So how do they stack up?
We thought we would look at how the new models stack up against the recently launched Dingli and the Niftylift models. So here are the results, you can judge for yourself what you like or do not like.
