LAT on cleanup<br />

duty after Doris<br />

DISTRIBUTOR NEWS<br />

In February, the storm Doris<br />

ferociously hit England<br />

causing severe damages to<br />

the country’s infrastructure.<br />

In the wake of Doris, JSM<br />

helped the energy company<br />

WPD fix the power grid using<br />

a Versalift LAT-38-135-H on a<br />

4x4 Isuzu pickup. The unit is<br />

perfect for such off-road tasks<br />

as the pickup can access job<br />

sites virtually everywhere.<br />

and a maximum outreach of<br />

12.5 m (at 80 kg or less). The<br />

leftover payload for a driver,<br />

a passenger and a full tank.<br />

Roadshows and exhibitions<br />

The Renault Maxity mounted<br />

VTX-240 is set to join the<br />

David Czapnik & Sons, the<br />

Israeli Versalift distributor, has<br />

installed a LAT-38-135-H on a<br />

Landini tractor for a client.<br />

The Belgian signage and<br />

has taken delivery of a<br />

custom-made unit with both<br />

a 17 metre access platform<br />

H-frame outriggers.<br />

Access platform<br />

The truck features a 17 metre<br />

New compact 180 o cage rotator<br />

A new patent pending 180° cage rotator is available for Versalift access platforms.<br />

PRODUCT NEWS<br />

A steel plate located within the cage mount extends as the cage rotates<br />

The 180° cage rotator rotates in an arch providing access behind obstacles<br />

The new cage rotator is extremely compact in the transport position<br />

A compact and innovative<br />

180° cage rotator is now<br />

available for Versalift cages.<br />

Unique design<br />

Gears extend and retract a<br />

steel plate inside the cage<br />

mount which in turn rotates<br />

the cage in a compact arch<br />

up to 90° in either direction.<br />

This unique design has two<br />

key performance enhancing<br />

characteristics.<br />

First, the design allows<br />

operators to reach behind<br />

obstacles for added<br />

versatility, as the steel plate<br />

travels out in the rotated<br />

position.<br />

Second, the stowed<br />

dimensions are compact, as<br />

the steel plate is completely<br />

retracted in the transport<br />

position.<br />

The innovative, mechanical<br />

design is currently patent<br />

pending. Check out the<br />

YouTube video to see the<br />

cage rotator in action.<br />
