UK vehicle mounted platform manufacturer Aldercote has announced two new products and services, the new VZ140 Neo van mounted platform and the Elevated Protection safety package.
The VZ140 Neo being mounted
The VZ140 Neo offers a working height of 14.1 metres, 350mm more than the VZ135 model with 250mm more outreach at 6.9 to 9.1 metres. When combined with Aldercote's 'Jack less' Transit conversion system, the platform provides 500kg of spare payload with two operators and a full fuel tank on board.
The Elevated Protection device comprises three safety features: the ’Hold’ harness anchor system with operator not clipped-on alerts and compliance monitoring capability, ‘Recoil’ a crush /entrapment protection system that automatically reverses direction of last function operated on contact with hazards, and ‘Shield’ electrical/power line protection with three defence levels including an insulated basket, harness and fibreglass booms.
The VZ140 Neo platform
Aldercote managing director Marc Paish said: "We developed these features using real feedback from operators and fleet managers, understanding their needs and concerns and looking at safety from an engineer's perspective – rather than simply accepting what's gone before. Today's operations demand payload, efficiency, compliance and reach. In response, we've developed the VZ 140 Neo – which tackles all of these requirements and more."
Both products will be unveiled at Vertikal Days on the 10th and 11th September.
