CONEXPO REVIEW
deal with the major die-out of American Ash.
Electric innovation
Skyjack debuted a new electrically powered
rough terrain scissor, the SJ6832 RTE.The
company says it is the most compact machine
on the market that is capable of lifting 1000
pounds to 32 ft. It is also the only machine in
its category with four-wheel drive and 45%
gradeability as standard design.The zero-
emission scissor lift was built on the same
chassis as the existing diesel and dual fuel
68RT units.
“This decision allows those already familiar
with the highly popular traditionally-powered
68RT lifts to experience a seamless transition
to the RTE,” said Brad Boehler, Skyjack
president.The dual fuel units currently only
have 40 percent gradeability, making the new
electric scissor surpass its siblings’ performance
by 5%. It is the first Skyjack product to be
completely AC powered.
Re-naming
Teupen showed the TL63A – the North
American nomenclature for its LEO 21,
introduced to Europe in 2013.The tracked unit
has a 63 ft working height with 550 pounds of
platform capacity and a 39 ft outreach.
The model has been improved from its
predecessor with a faster drive speed from 0.9
mph to 2 mph, an increase in platform capacity
from 440 pounds to 550 pounds and now
features 4th generation, more precise, computer
logistics.
The company has also transitioned its
machine nomenclature from metric-based to
imperial model identification.
High capacity
Manitou Group unveiled the MHT 1490.The
high-capacity telehandler is geared toward the
North American oil, gas and bridge sectors and
features a lifting height of 46 feet and a 20000
pound lifting capacity.
The MHT 1490 is a part of a series of
high-capacity models, including 26455 pounds,
