New van mount from Klubb

French vehicle mounted lift manufacturer Klubb has launched the KL17P, a new 17 metre van mounted platform.

The KL17P has a new lightweight three section telescopic boom, with internal hoses and cables, topped by an articulating jib, which provides a maximum outreach of 10.5 metres with 80kg in the platform or 6.6 metres with its maximum capacity of 250kg / two people, with a standard 1kV basket/bucket. The Overall weight is 3,100kg with a full tank of fuel. Standard features include a 4.3 inch upper control display, anti-collision system and automatic stabiliser set-up and levelling. Slew is 420 degrees.

Among the options is a 'Green Pack' that is essentially a battery power pack for the superstructure that allows the platform to be operated with the engine off and, one assumes, is recharged/ topped up, between stops.

Production of the new van mount has already started at Klubb's plant in Ferrières-en-Brie, France, with the first domestic and international shipments due to start shortly.

The company said: “The basket controls have been completely redesigned. An integrated 4.3 inch colour screen now guides the operator through the KL17P’s functionalities. These intuitive controls enable simultaneous proportional movement. Furthermore, operator safety is enhanced by standard capacitive sensors for the 'dead man' function, preventing any involuntary movements.”
