The bestselling series of
light range access platforms,
the ETL (Euro Telescopic
Light) has been expanded
with the introduction of the
Versalift ETL-38 available
for both Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter and Renault Master
vans. A 140° articulating
flyboom is standard.
Full outreach on Renault
The unit boasts a working
height of up to 14.0 metres
and an impressive max
outreach of 8.0 metres
on the Mercedes and the
full outreach of 8.7 metres
on the Renault due to a
significantly wider outrigger
spread. The cage capacity
is 230 kg and the outreach
is variable using the LMC
control system. Despite the
added weight of the bigger
boom, the ETL-38 still has
adequate leftover payload.

Redesigned lower controls
The full hydraulic lower

significantly smaller and

telescopic van mounts slots
right into our range in terms
of both product offering
and rental rate, supporting
our ethos to let customers
choose what best suits
them rather than one size
fits all. This is also our first
experience of Versalift and
the whole process from
evaluation to delivery has
been seamless”, says Andy
Burt, Managing Director of
Smart Platforms.
