This TEL–34–NE is one of two new chassis–mounted Versalift platforms from Time Export. It has a 12.2 m working height and comes without a fly jib but with a bottom–mounted rotating cage. The platform capacity is 120 kg and no outriggers are required (although outriggers are needed if capacity rises to 200 kg). Per Torp, Time Export's managing director, says the unit – and its 11 m TEL–30 sister model – will be ideal for small vans, pick–ups and Land Rover–type carriers. He says Time detects growing demand for chassis–mounted models without an enclosed van space. A 14 m equivalent could follow. Also new from the company at Bauma was the 18.0 m working height VT–51–BF on a 7.5 t Mercedes Benz Vario and with around 1000 kg of carrying capacity – ideal for highway maintenance work – and the small 3.5 t category ET–30–NE, “the first van mount with 200 kg cage capacity without outriggers”, says Mr Torp.
