Primary end users range from electricians, pipe fitters, joiners, and sprinkler installers to HVAC contractors, maintenance personnel, cleaners and decorators, and fire and safety engineers. It integrates the on-board Haulotte Activ’screen diagnostic tool and the company’s new ACTIV’Pedestrian Light. The chassis is designed to allow fork lifts to lift the mast. Other features on the Star 6 include a forward speed of 4.5 km/h and the possibility to elevate the platform and the picking tray simultaneously. Maximum load on the picking tray is up to 80 kg. Maximum visibility is achieved thanks to the mast design, located at the same level as the guardrails. It has a secure drop-proof picking tray with removable side panels and a front-end guardrail to protect goods. The new picking design on the previously launched Star 6 has double lateral doors, open-door sensors and anti-slip steps and baseboards. The new Star 6 Picking is part of the Haulotte vertical mast range of four products from 6m to 10m working height. The trend is also toward more durable machines that require less maintenance, provide increased productivity and, as a result, contribute to a lower total cost of ownership. “Owners, operators and technicians also expect fewer maintenance requirements and easier serviceability. “Engineering, increased productivity and lowering total cost of ownership are trends JLG is addressing through its vertical masts.”Īs we have learned previously, lighter weight machines can conquer more applications, such as multi-storey development projects, says Mr Kreutzwiser. JLG is aggressively pioneering new products and technologies that support demand for the category. Paul Kreutzwiser, global category director – aerial work platforms, JLG Industries, says “As jobsites evolve and continue to replace ladders, the company realised the industry needed a full heavy-duty construction version of the Runabout - the Genie GRC-12 product was designed with its steel tube-in-tube mast and steel platform construction.” This has not been the case before and requires collaboration between the manufacturer, rental businesses and end users.Ĭoncerning sales, the North American market continues to be Genie’s strongest, although its seen an uptick in the percentage of units headed to Europe in recent years. “The changes go beyond just the functionality and classification of lifts, but they will address operation and training standards as well.”įor example, the new standards will distinguish between indoor and outdoor capable machines. In addition, upcoming changes to the ANSI standard in North America will drive changes across all vertical mast manufacturers, says Zachary Gilmor, Genie associate product manager, Terex AWP. The narrow size, outreach and rotation mean these units can easily get to spaces above production lines, shelving and equipment without bringing in a full-size boom. The proportional controls make these machines easy to manoeuvre and accurately position for work in finished spaces. Again, it is all about accessibility -the Genie GR, GRC and QS products all have a zero degree turning radius and compact base size, making them suitable for tight and narrow areas, including many elevators. The GR-20J and GR-26J units are the most recent additions with the Genie GR-26J model being the latest to launch in North America. Genie offers a complete line of vertical masts in the Genie Runabout family, including the Genie GR, GRC, QS and GRJ. Mr Duclos adds, “All applications are developing everywhere for vertical masts, because it is the access equipment type that has the better chance to reach any place at height in a building.” The manufacturer is working on the PIAF 10E for the end of 2017, a fully electric 10m machine, and like the P12E, it has onboard LCD console, access with gate and no tailswing. It’s a fully electric machine with LCD onboard diagnostic console with easy access to the basket and no tail swing. Features include a 11.83m working height and and 5.10 m outreach. And echoing previous comments, greater working height and outreach.ĪTN’s latest vertical mast model is the PIAF 12E in. This is partly because it’s difficult for maintenance managers to get the required financial resources to buy new.įrance-based ATN is always on the innovation trail, mainly in a bid to find solutions required by rental companies.ĭaniel Duclos, president of ATN, says there is a trend for electric drive, improved gradeability and transportability, as well as clean energy and noise reduction. “Our customers are more and more rental companies, in addition to the current customers like industrial plants,” says Mr Schapperth. The company’s biggest market is Germany and surrounding nations.
