exhibited its
scissor and verticalmast products inNorth
America for the first time at ConExpo.
The company has been in theU.S. for 10 years
withdealer Bellymore, but only for its push-
around stock picker products.
Now, Dingli is actively seeking a distributor for
the scissor and verticalmast lines. So far the
manufacturer has not sold any of these products
directly intoNorthAmerica, it says, but with the
right dealer, it hopes to sell up to1,000units
here in the next two years.
Once the two product lines have been
established, the company says it will look into
introducing self-propelledbooms for direct sale
into theU.S. as part of a secondphase.

used
ConExpo to launch a new210-foot aerial work
platform.
The E160E-Linematerial handling aerial
work platform features a210-foot working
height,material handling capabilities and a
seated rotating control stationmounted on a
commercial truck or track vehicle carrier.
The unit was designed tomeet the needs of
utility and constructionusers.
“One of the primary focuses of the E160
design is to eliminate theANSI B30.5 ‘test
pick’ requirement whenusing a cranewith a
basket,” the company says. “By designing an
ANSI A92.2-compliant product, the test pick
requirement is eliminated.”
The E160hits 210 feet by utilizing a a32 to
55-foot telescopic jib stored on the side of the
160-foot telescopic 5-sectionboom. The aerial
portion of the unit is controlled either from the
lower seated control station or fromwithin the
platform. The1,200-pound capacity basket
is detachable andmeasures 34 inches by 72
inches.
