Bobcat

Two new telescopic tool carriers, the VersaHandler TTC V723 and V723 FL, have a rated load capacity of 7,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of 23 feet. The multi-purpose machines use a light, rigid frame for better stability and reduced flex, which allow them to lift as much as heavier machines in their class. Both models feature heavy-duty hydrostatic ground drive for shifting-on-the-fly between high and low drive speed ranges. The VersaHandlers have dynamic braking, allowing for controlled movement while inching up or down slopes on the jobsite, and automotive-style transmission. The tool carriers also feature three steering modes: all-wheel steer, front-wheel steer and crab steer.

Genie

Genie's Z-135/70 articulating boom provides a maximum working height of 141 feet, horizontal outreach of 69 feet, 9 inches, and up-and-over clearance of 75 feet, 6 inches. The Z-135/70 features Genie's new X-Chassis axle configuration, which has revolutionized the mechanism for extending and retracting axles. The new Jib-eXtend jib provides access by extending the platform from a stowed length of 12 feet to a fully extended length of 20 feet. Key standard features include full traction 4WD, foam-filled tires, 4-wheel steer system with four steering modes, the ALC 1000 control system, drive enable, full onboard diagnostics, fully proportional joystick controls with simultaneous multifunction operation, an 8-foot self-leveling steel platform, 360-degree continuous turntable rotation and a foot switch time out.

Skyjack

The Skyjack midsize rough terrain aerial work platforms have working heights of up to 56 feet and capacities up to 1,500 pounds. The midsize RT's, with a choice of engines from a liquid-cooled dual fuel to efficient diesel, power up for any jobsite environment. All models come equipped with a proportional joystick control designed to prevent inadvertent operation, an important benefit to a multi-user work force. Standard features include rear-loading gate, tilt alarm with drive/lift cut-off, 110V GFI protected AC outlet on the platform and grip lug air-filled tires. Safety features include a scissor design that maximizes rigidity and stability, promoting increased work productivity, lift relief valve that limits capacities, manual lowering valve and all-motion audible alarm.

Tom Beraldo, vice president operations for Venetor Equipment Rental, a Hamilton, Ontario-based rental company, says customers use Skyjack's SJ7027 RT scissors for applications that involve rough terrain or when a larger deck space is needed for materials to be elevated. “Skyjack has designed a product that is user-friendly both from a service technician and user's standpoint,” he says. “Parts are interchangeable amongst various models and easily accessible.”

Flannegan Western

New for the Flannegan Western sign truck is the optional FW traversing lift platform that attaches to all three of FW's optional platform lifts. The traversing lift platform's ability to move horizontally to both the right and the left sides of the truck bed allow the maintenance person to work on the median side, as well as the curb side of a road and/or one-way street. The task-oriented design of this platform adds versatility to nearly any service or sign truck.

Patrick Scanlan, highway commissioner for Oconto County, Wis., uses the FW traversing lift platform for sign repair and bulb replacement because of its flexibility. “It allows us to work on either side of the truck, which is a plus,” he says. “This gives us a little better range of motion.”
