MEC’s 34-J Telescopic Boom for Jobs up to 40 Feet

MEC Aerial Work Platforms launched its newest innovation in boom lifts, drawing on the success of its micro scissor line. MEC engineers were challenged to develop a better value solution for the thousands of construction jobs that are lower than 40 feet. The 34-J changes the paradigm on ROI for lower height projects.

The smallest telescopic booms available in today’s market offer 46-foot working height, which is often more machine than is necessary for the job. MEC introduces the new 34-J diesel telescopic boom as a better value solution for construction applications up to 40 feet. MEC’s 34-J gives 40-foot (12.2m) working height with standard 5-foot (1.5m) jib for 135-degree range of motion. It is compact and lightweight at just 8,000 pounds (3,639 kg) without compromising construction-grade durability. The 34-J can be towed with a full-size truck, or three units could fit on a flatbed truck for the lowest delivery cost.

The unit also features a standard 72-inch platform including three-sided entry with a swing gate. Like all MEC booms the 34-J has ergonomic platform controls with the optional Proactive Platform Safety System and is designed without a footswitch, giving the operator increased visibility and mobility in the platform. It has powerful 4-wheel drive and positive traction with an oscillating front axle – a true rough terrain construction boom. MEC’s 34-J diesel telescopic boom works up to a 40-foot (12.2m) height, with all the benefits of a self-propelled unit. This newest MEC boom is micro sized, lightweight, full-featured, rugged, simple and reliable all in one.
