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 />

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 />
advertising company Publilux<br />
has taken delivery of a<br />
custom-made unit with both<br />
a 17 metre access platform<br />
and a knuckle boom crane<br />
from the Belgian Versalift<br />
distributor, HDW Belux.<br />
Chassis<br />
The base of the unit is a<br />
Mercedes-Benz Antos (19 t)<br />
with custom chassis height<br />
and 2 sets of extendable<br />
H-frame outriggers.<br />
Access platform<br />
The truck features a 17 metre<br />
Versalift VDT-170-F access<br />
platform fitted with a custom<br />
aluminium cage with a<br />
capacity of 230 kg and 2 x 85°<br />
rotation. The FPC controls<br />

advanced features including<br />
self-pack (home function).<br />
The maximum outreach is 11<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 />
