Manitou is 5 new vehicles, including lift 200 ATJ Articulated boom 20, which will be launched in the first quarter of 2009 to the new machines the company Manitou BF include: two workers from the two sources of power lift with swivel arm 150 and 170 AETJ L AETJ L; referring to the line running from the internal combustion engine lift additional model with a hinged arm and a working height of 20 m and 200 ATJ two platforms with a vertical mast and the boom 80 VJR and 100 VJR series “Evolution”. Powered by two power sources like electric hoists model of Manitou BF, but due to the low noise level, the presence of two cylinders, water cooling engine Lombardi Focs 702 – 10.7 kW” this building technique can work both indoors and outdoors. Machines 150 and 170 AETJ L AETJ L can operate entirely on battery power or electric mode of the diesel engine and have a working height of 15 and 17 m. This platform does not designed to operate in rough terrain, but the larger tires and greater ground clearance (17.5 cm versus 10 cm for all electric vehicles) make it possible external application. An additional advantage is that of an engine in the diesel Mode may be carried out charging. The time to recharge a discharged battery to 80% to a fully charged state, takes only 3 hours.
Unlike the lift with 200 ATJ articulated boom and a lifting height of 20 meters, with production to begin in the first quarter of 2009, from models with working height of less than 160 ATJ (16 m) and 180 ATJ (18 m), lies in the fact that the hinge elements are aligned at the top of the side not side of relation to each other. According to the company’s Manitou BF, because this design provides additional stability for most of the working height and radius of 12 m. The machine has a 200 ATJ new engine meets Euro-3 standards, will later be installed on smaller models. To date – this is the biggest lift in Manitou, which combines the new linkage in the form located above the center of the double parallelogram two-section telescopic boom and an elongated beam. In developing the model VJR series “Evolution” focused on the weight and ease of transportation.
The machine 80 VJR series “Evolution” weighs only 2250 kg, and the machine 100 VJR – 2600 kg. Due to weight loss on models of the series “Evolution” and the additional flexibility provided by boom, these machines are easier to use a wider range of indoor and outdoor space is limited. The engines are installed on lifts VJR, increased battery life time and helped to reduce power consumption.
