| New aerial lift from Bil-Jax  Bil-Jax will unveil the 2622T trailer-mounted aerial lift in February 2007. The 2622T is the small, lightweight model and features a 26'6" platform height, a 22-foot maximum outreach, a two-person 30"x48" platform, and a 440-pound load capacity. The 2622T weighs in at about 2,500 pounds depending on equipped options and accessories. The unit utilizes a telescopic boom,which frequently require multiple elevation changes of two boom arms in order to position the platform. The 2622T's also features 700° turntable rotation, zero tailswing outside the outrigger footprint, and integrated forklift pockets. The stowed dimensions are 5'5.5"x16'5.5"x6'5.5".Operating the 2622T is accomplished through a self-intuitive control system from either the platform or the ground control station, which is common throughout the Summit Series. Both control stations feature an easy-to-understand display panel with control buttons positioned around a single machine image for easy identification of button functions. For on-site powered maneuverability, a drive option will be available allowing users to operate the outriggers and drive the machine from the platform in the fully lowered position. A heavy duty jockey wheel, steel fenders, and ST 205/75 R14C heavy-duty tires provide durable performance. The unit is powered by a four 6V, 245 amp-hr batteries. This machine features hydraulic cylinders protected by steel guards and an optimized outrigger geometry providing up to 12.5° of leveling capability, which is also a common overall design approach for all Summit Series booms. The 2622T's auto-level system provides quick and easy machine set-up from the ground control station, which can be completed in less than 30 seconds when all four outriggers are deployed simultaneously. Additionally, 10" diameter, non-marking outrigger footpads provide excellent performance in rough-terrain jobsites and indoor applications on sensitive flooring. The outrigger footprint measures 9'10.5"x11'0.75". The generator interface plate provides onboard storage, tie-down provisions, and a receptacle connection point for portable generators. Lockable covers protect internal components, and pad-lockable ground control cover deters unauthorized operation. A 120° optional platform rotator provides an increased working area and platform positioning capability. Additionally, the quick-disconnect platform and optional material lifting hook allows the machine to be converted into a lightweight, 440-pound capacity towable material handler. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
