Big Access

Big isn't necessarily best, of course, but there is definitely a theme to the new products being launched at Bauma this year – high reach and large capacity.

In truck mounts it means the 101 m machine from Bronto and a new 70 m model from Wumag, and in hoists – especially hoists – it means high–speed, high–capacity models from Alimak Hek, Steinweg Böcker, Pega, Stros, Scaninter, Maber, China's GJJ and others.

Look out, also for some new or new–ish names in the access business – Onik from Spain and Raxtar from The Netherlands, both in the mast climbing and hoist sector.

The show will be full to brimming with new machines, notably many of the latest North American platforms seen at the recent ARA show in Atlanta. This will include Genie's new Z–40 boom using a.c. drive technology (see News), JLG's 1230ES mast boom, Snorkel's AB85 articulated model, and the first sighting in Europe of Skyjack's telescopic boom range (actually on the IPAF stand).

Among the Europeans, watch out for new telehandlers from Haulotte and Liebherr, Manitou's 150TP now in its production version, and Leguan's first scissor lift. UpRight is also promising something new, and Nostolift will take the opportunity to show its newly acquired Kesla machines.

IPAF, meanwhile, is again punching above its weight in having managed to get a massive 1500 m²demonstration area in which to demonstrate the benefits of powered access to the over 400000 Bauma visitors.

A full guide to the access exhibitors at Bauma is given on the following pages. We will also provide additional last–minute news in our Bauma 'Stop–Press' issue in April. Access International once again attends, with publisher KHL Group, and we invite readers to our stand number 301 in Hall 3B. See you in Munich! AI

Access Exhibitors

3B6 A5.328 Control systems for aerial platforms and other equipment will be on show from Italian company 3B6.

Access InternationalB3.301 Access International will exhibit with its publisher, KHL Group, on stand 301 in Hall B3.

Access Systems Climber (AS Climber) F10.1002/1 Pride of place on the Spanish company's stand will be one of the XMH heavy–duty mast climber range, developed by XL Developpement in France. It will show the smallest version, which in standard configuration offers 5 t of payload and a 32 m platform. In special configuration, its payload is 8 t and the platform can be up to 40 m long. Its square–section, single mast can extend up to 200 m. Climbing speed is 12 m/sec.

Aichi Corp F11.1101/1 European visitors looking for Aichi's long–awaited scissors and articulated booms will have to wait a little longer. The machines are still being readied for Europe, but not in time for Bauma. Instead, you will see three telescopic booms, the crawler SR12 and the wheeled SP21 and SP25.

Airo Tigieffe F10.1004/3 Italy's Airo Tigieffe will show a selection of its self–propelled boom and scissor lifts, including the recently developed vertical mast industrial platforms.

Alba–Macrel C3.303, A1.306, F10.1004/7 A selection of mast climbers and hoists from Spain's Alba.

Albert Böcker F12.1203/2 Co–exhibiting with sister companies Robert Böcker and Steinweg Böcker, Albert Böcker will show a new model in its range of trailer mounted aerial platforms/material lifts. The new AHK 31/1400 is an aluminium, 3.5 t trailer crane that converts to a 26 m working height, 250 kg basket payload aerial platform.

Alher F12.1204/1 Spain's Alher will show its range of work platforms and hoists. Of particular interest might be the 600 kg payload T7–CR hoist, designed especially for installation in lift pits and other confined spaces often encountered in renovation work.

Alimak Hek F11.1102/6 Both new hoists and mast climbers come from the Swedish–based company. Mast climber owners will be most interested in a completely new Hek modular mast climbing product range incorporating light, medium and heavy duty models and allowing the creation of transport platforms and material hoists. The key question on many Hek owners' lips will be whether the new system will use the same mast sections as Hek's current range. “It has a kind of impact”, is all a Hek spokesperson would say, although adding that “the modular concept will give a lot of benefits to customers.”

On the hoist side, Alimak shows the new Alimak Scando 650 FC–S, a high–speed version of the modular Scando 650 launched at Bauma 2004. This high–speed model will have a top speed of 100 m/min, matching that of the Scando Super model that it will replace, and will extend the maximum operating height to 400 m, up from 250 m on the Super.

Also new is the A3 system for remotely monitoring the performance of a hoist. Comprising a small control box with a modem and an antenna on the roof of the hoist cage, the system will allow Alimak Hek and the hoist owner to diagnose faults and monitor usage. Alerts can be sent by e–mail, by text message or seen on an extranet website. The system will work with Alimak hoists and Hek mast climbing platforms, and a further version – branded 'Orange Box'–will be made available for fitting to other brands of products.

Altrex A2.300 Netherlands scaffolding, suspended access and access tower manufacturer.

Anton Ruthmann F10.1006/8 Users wanting rough–terrain access to work at height might want to see Ruthmann's 22 m working height TB 220 mounted on a Scam SMT 55 all–terrain carrier, manufactured in the Czech Republic. The 5.5 t GVW unit is the first of its type for Ruthmann. Visitors can also view the 10000th Steiger platform ever built, also a TB 220, but on a Mercedes Benz Sprinter. Ruthmann is celebrating the production milestone by auctioning the specially painted, gold and silver unit, valued at €85000, on Ebay during the show, and will donate 20% of sale proceeds to charity.

AST F7.N717/3 AST is the German dealer for Fraco. See separate entry for Fraco.

Barin F13.1302/1 Underbridge access specialist Barin will show its 32 t ABC 180/200 LS model, recently sold to Germany's TILA, based in Berlin.

Bronto Skylift F13.1203/3 Want to see the world's tallest aerial platform? Then visit Bronto to marvel at its 101 m working height HLA 101. What's more, the Finnish company will show its new S 70 XDT, a 70 m working height boom on a 4–axle MAN carrier, with a GVW of less than 35 t and travel length under 12 m. The machine has a 700 kg cage payload and an outreach that must be extraordinary: Bronto won't reveal it until the show. “There is nothing new about [this model's] technologies and components; we've just taken well–tested technology to a new level,” regional sales manager Jan Denks told AI.

Camac A1.105 Spanish company Camac is launching the ECP–1000 into the middle of its transport platform range. The 1750 x 1400 mm cabin lifts a maximum of five passengers or 1000 kg of material at speeds of 24 or 12 m/min. Its motor is frequency controlled for smooth starting and stopping.

CMC F13.1302/1 The Italian company will show a selection of its truck mounted platforms.

Cormach F8.N826/1 Cormach is best known for its truck–mounted cranes, but several of these models are capable of being fitted with aerial platforms.

Dinolift F13.1305/2 Finnish aerial platform manufacturer Dinolift (previously Dino Lift) promises an entirely new product, but is unwilling to give advance details before Bauma. It also says it will also be giving some of its existing trailer mounted platforms a “facelift” to update their look and with some new details to help protect the machines during use.

Encomat F11.1106/4 So busy is Spain's Encomat designing the twin–masted transport platform it plans to show, that the model is yet un–named. The company has determined, however, that it will have a 2000 to 2500 kg capacity.

ESDA Fahrzeugwerke F13.1302/3 German manufacturer ESDA is launching the TG1800, a 7.5 t truck mounted platform with 18 m working height, 12.4 m of outreach, and a basket payload of 280 kg. Its telescoping jib supports an arm that swivels 180º and is angulated, a feature that reduces transport length. Also on the stand will be the 22 m working height TL22, which now can reach below the level of the bed of its 3.5 t carrier. ESDA is a Socage dealer and is exhibiting with Swiss access sales company Schuler & Schlömmer. (Socage exhibits in its own right on an adjacent stand.)

It can reach a height of 167 m when installed with a ground base, and its freestanding maximum height is about 18 m. The machine's platform extends to 14.2 m and climbs at 4.9 m/min. The model has been in the German market since last Autumn.

Geda F10.1004/1 Geda launches new versions of its well–established 500/1200/1500 Z/ZP three–model range of transport platforms, offering the possibility of converting the transport platforms into fully enclosed passenger/material hoists designed with either a 2,5 m high base enclosure (Comfort range) or a lower base enclosure (Standard line). Hoist speeds on the hoist versions rise to 40 m/min on the two larger sizes, and remain at 24 m/min on the smallest version. Erection and dismantling of the enclosure can be carried out safely from within the cage.

Geda will have another product at Bauma. It has cooperated with German formwork manufacturer Doka to create a Table Lifting System that provides an alternative to a crane for lifting formwork panels on tall structures. That will be shown on the Doka stand.

Gemmo A5.205 Gemmo makes tracked undercarriages that end up on many of the crawler mounted aerial platform models on the market.

Genie Industries F7.704/705 New products from across Genie's range will be shown at Bauma: the Z–40/23N, a narrow articulated boom; the GS–3232 scissor, a narrow electric model; and the GTH–6025R, a 6000 kg capacity rotating telehandler. The show will also see the European launch of the S–60HC, the high capacity version of the S–60 introduced in North America last year.

The main attraction will be the electric Z–40/23N, which is a 14.3 m working height articulated boom with a narrow width of 1.5 m and tight turning radius of 0.61 m. It will weigh 6908 kg.

One notable feature of the machine is the use of a frequency controlled a.c. drive system as opposed to the more normal d.c. power. This technology has been pioneered in the industrial forklift market and, says Genie, offers advantages including higher speeds and more efficient use of energy.

The new GS–3232 scissor, meanwhile, is another narrow product, marrying the chassis of the 2032 scissor with the scissor stack of the 3246 model. It has a maximum working height of 11.58 m, and a footprint of 2.41 m long and 0.81 m wide stowed. It uses outriggers above 22 ft (6.7 m) (the outriggers fall within the base dimensions and level automatically.)

The rotating GTH–6025R has a maximum lifting height of 24.8 m, a maximum forward reach of 21.5 m, and a lifting capacity of 6000 kg. It has four independent, hydraulically operated stabilizers.

GJJ F8.N820/7 GJJ is China's largest manufacturer of hoists and mast climbers.

Machinery, is located in Guangzhou in the south of China.

Goian Stand 1003/8 – Frelgelände 9–12 One of the most active of the Spanish mast climber and hoist manufacturers, Goian – part of the Jaso Group – promises five new machines this year alone. The first one, on show in Munich, is the 1500 kg capacity GE15. Lift speed is 37 m/min and the cage's internal dimensions are 1500 by 3200 mm and 2000 mm high. It will use the same mast as its GP40 and GM1500 models.

GSR F10.1003/3 Truck mounted platforms from the Italian manufacturer.

Hanix Europe F6.N613/6 Hanix previously announced that it was going to launch a tracked aerial platform in Europe at Bauma. However, Hanix Europe's managing director Mr Masato Sue says high demand for its products in Japan has forced it to delay its European launch until 2008, or 2009 at the latest. Still, the company's stand is still worth a visit if you want to learn more about its export plans.

Haulotte Group F10.1005/3 The French aerial platform manufacturer will show its first own-design HTL (Haulotte Top Lift) telehandlers, which will be 3 t capacity/14 m reach and 4 t capacity/17 m models. These are being built at Haulotte's new facility in Santander, Spain, following the dissolution of its telehandler joint venture with Faresin.

Haulotte will show its wide range of aerial platforms well as the Multijob MJX 900, the 360 degree rotation backhoe with telescopic loader. This model has been available in France for over year and is now being launched Europe-wide.

International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) F10.N1014/9 IPAF is using Bauma to launch its UK–initiated 'Clunk–Click' safety harness promotional campaign in Germany under the 'Klick–Klack' banner. It follows the launch of the campaign in North America during February's Rental Show in Atlanta. The aim of the campaign is to ensure that operators in boom–type platforms (but not scissor lifts) use appropriate safety harnesses.

Tim Whiteman, IPAF's managing director, said the campaign was all the more powerful for having been the initiative of rental company members; “it a real ground roots campaign.”

IPAF will have a 1500 m²demonstration area at Bauma to promote the use of powered access equipment and to focus attention on safe use of equipment and harnesses. Among the machines being demonstrated will be Skyjack's new 45 ft telescopic boom – its first appearance in Europe.

Mr Whiteman said IPAF would also use Bauma “to make people think about what to do in an emergency.” This will include a demonstration of abseiling equipment from a large truck mounted platform. Seminar topics will cover harnesses and the correct placing of outriggers.

Now the entire range offers full, variable jacking and a tail–swing radius that is within the wing mirrors of its carrier. “Now we have a complete class of truck mounts with the same set of modern features,” said sales director Stephan Kulawik. If you want to see the other models of Jumbos, you will find the WT 270, 370, and 530 models on the IPAF stand.
