42 cranes & access August/September 2012 Cumberland/ Socage DA320 scissors behind a 4x4 were also non-starters. In Germany driving at height was limited to eight metres and a highly fragmented rental market may also have had an influence on small German truck mounted production. The smaller the better Another current trend is towards the ‘environmentally friendly’ truck or van mount which includes electric or bi-energy power and if working in town and city centres, a smaller chassis. At Vertikal Days Affordable Access unveiled a tiny 2.1 tonne Piaggio Porter Maxxis with a Co.Me.t 13.5 metre dual riser, articulated Eurosky boom. With about six metres of outreach and 200kg platform capacity it is ideal for inner city work and space restricted sites. Measuring just 2.15 metres wide with the outriggers deployed, the platform has 360 degree continuous slew, 220 volts outlet in the rotating basket and the option of using an auxiliary engine to operate the platform rather than the truck’s engine. Socage which pioneered this sector, also offers a machine on the Piaggio as well as one that it totally electric. This size of truck mount is certain to gain in popularity in the coming years. The major advantage of electric truck and van mounts is that they can work without noise pollution, carrying out maintenance and repair work outside normal working hours or in sensitive areas without a problem. 4x4 growth Another growth area is cross country lifts on 4x4 chassis. The perennial Land Rover-based platforms are still relatively popular in spite of the problems of mounting a boom on a 50 year old vehicle design. True the Land Rover is very good at off-roading but it has a cramped driving position and in platform mode, usually a very high centre of gravity making negotiating roundabouts very interesting. Several manufacturers are looking towards other small 4x4 chassis such as the Ford Ranger/F150, and if additional carrying capacity is required then larger chassis up to six tonnes such as the Iveco Daily available from 3.5 to 5.5 tonnes. With utility companies obliged to stop climbing towers and poles, this is another area set to grow. Which ever way you look at it - development is good for the sector. There is still a growing demand for truck mounted lifts on chassis less than 3.5 tonnes because of the restricted driving licences. All that is needed is for more rental companies to expand their product offerings so that we all can benefit from the more unusual and versatile platforms.
