The Versalift LAT-38-135-H is now available in an updated design that is being unveiled on the Time Versalift stand at APEX.

The unit has been redesigned and trimmed down to support the 3.2 tonne Euro 6 Ford Ranger pickup.

The GVW has not been increased and remains within legal driving requirements.

Two sets of A-frame outriggers replace the existing design with flap-down outriggers in front and A-frame outriggers at the back.

The emergency hydraulic controls are now located on the lift rather than on the deck resulting in a simpler kit design with a clear deck. 

The previous design with multiple frames for different pickups has been standardised with the unit now featuring just one frame that supports both left and right hand drive versions of most pickup brands using adapters. 

The performance of the full hydraulic unit is similar to the previous model with a working height of 13.5m, an outreach of 6m and a cage capacity of 200kg. The unit is also available with a 230kg capacity with a reduced working height of 13.3m and an outreach of 5.7m.
