Compact Boom

A major launch for UpRight in 2002 is the low gross vehicle weight version of the 44-foot working height AB38 compact electric articulated boom. Trimming almost 17 percent off the gross weight of the standard model, the ANSI version of the new lightweight AB38 is 7,470 pounds — under 3.5 tons GVW — with a platform capacity of 475 pounds. This lighter AB38 offers even lower ground bearing pressures than the already class-leading 59 inches wide AB38N. The low weight suits a wider range of applications on upper building levels, sensitive floors and provides extra scope to transport in freight elevators. www.upright.com 559-891-4341
