Versalift and the Smith Electric Vehicle division of Tanfield will both display all electric vehicle mounted lifts in Copenhagen this weekend.

The new lifts will join a parade along with the Bright Green fair at the Climate Conference on Saturday and Sunday.

The first unit a Versalift ET36LF mounted on a Smiths Transit based Edison chassis cab, has been developed in parntership with Scottish and Southern Energy. The unit has 160 km range from the Lithium Ion batteries, a typical working day with the aerial lift will consume around 10 percent of the battery power, leaving around 140 to 150km of range.

The 13 metre working height unit has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 3.5 tonnes, 7.5 tonne and 12 tonne models have also been developed. The units are considerably more expensive than standard vans or trucks, but the operational costs considerably lower, leading to a five year pay back.
