Versalift has developed a new load sensing system for its vehicle-mounted platforms, providing extended safe working outreach during one-person operation.
Versalift�s new load sensing system offers 14% (1m) extra safe working outreach for one person from the ET36NF platform (12.9m working height), for example.
Ref: 25-936-Xtra outreach ET36NF
To date, maximum horizontal outreach has been governed by safety criteria for two people working in the bucket at 200kg Safe Working Load (SWL). Using an advanced �load cell� design, Versalift�s new load sensing system improves on the accuracy and reliability of alternative methods. The new cell, located in the fly boom, allows safe working outreach to be extended by around a metre for one-person operation (120kg SWL).
The advance provides valuable extra outreach during single operator use while remaining within safety guidelines and leaving two-person outreach unaffected. The extra reach can save significant time by reducing the number of machine set-up/set-down cycles during a shift. Another advantage is that the system does not rely on stabilisers with a wide spread.
On Versalift�s Eurotel platform range (13.0m to 15.0m working height), the new load sensing system offers an extended horizontal outreach of up to 8.4m for a single operative. The two-person outreach of 7.3m (200kg SWL) is still competitive with comparable vans.
The new load sensing system is available as an option on most Versalift platform models, subject to platform/vehicle combination.
