Type Details

Articulating Truck-Mounted Lifts

Overview

An articulated lifting superstructure is installed on a truck chassis. Evaluate vehicle mobility, obstacle clearance and setup space together.

Suitable Applications

Mobile maintenance and access tasks where the vehicle, outriggers and articulated work envelope suit the site.

Key Considerations

Truck Chassis: Confirm chassis compatibility, configuration and whether the scope is a complete vehicle or superstructure.
Up-and-Over Clearance: Check the clearance needed to position the platform over an obstacle.
Horizontal Outreach: Compare usable horizontal reach and the corresponding load limits on the verified working envelope.
Outrigger Footprint: Confirm the required deployment space, setup configuration and operating restrictions.
Applicable Rules: Verify local towing, transport and operating requirements for the actual trailer-mounted equipment.

Telescopic Truck-Mounted Lifts

Overview

A telescopic boom is combined with a truck chassis. Compare boom height, horizontal reach and the actual work-basket configuration.

Suitable Applications

Mobile elevated access where the vehicle configuration and telescopic working range meet the site requirements.

Key Considerations

Truck Chassis: Confirm chassis compatibility, configuration and whether the scope is a complete vehicle or superstructure.
Working Height: Confirm the stated working height and the manufacturer’s measurement convention; it is not the platform height.
Horizontal Outreach: Compare usable horizontal reach and the corresponding load limits on the verified working envelope.
Rated Platform Capacity: Verify the rated load, occupants and any limits that change with the operating configuration.
Outrigger Footprint: Confirm the required deployment space, setup configuration and operating restrictions.

Equipment Selection Guide

Origin-country compliance for equipment or chassis does not establish road registration or operating eligibility for the complete vehicle in every destination market.

Working Height: Confirm the stated working height and the manufacturer’s measurement convention; it is not the platform height.
Horizontal Outreach: Compare usable horizontal reach and the corresponding load limits on the verified working envelope.
Rated Platform Capacity: Verify the rated load, occupants and any limits that change with the operating configuration.
Truck Chassis: Confirm chassis compatibility, configuration and whether the scope is a complete vehicle or superstructure.
Gross Vehicle Weight: Verify complete vehicle mass and destination-market restrictions for the intended configuration.
Vehicle Dimensions: Check the complete vehicle’s length, width, height and setup clearance.
Outrigger Footprint: Confirm the required deployment space, setup configuration and operating restrictions.
Destination-Market Requirements: Verify local import, registration and operating requirements for the complete vehicle and lifting equipment.
