Socage to build 28m on 3.5t

Italian truck mounted lift manufacturer Socage will unveil a new, lighter weight 28 metre articulated boom truck mounted lift on a 3.5 tonne chassis at Bauma in April.

The new model, designated the Forste 28D, will use the same configuration and geometry as the current DA328 which is mounted on a 5.6 tonne truck. The principle change is the higher strength thinner steel used in the machine’s structure and a little less outreach. It will have an overall stowed length of 6.69 metres and an overall width of 2.1 metres.

The new Forste 28D will be similar to the DA328 but mounted on a 3.5t chassis

Platform capacity will be 225 Kg, while the maximum outreach is 14.5 metres, a metre shorter than the DA328. The H-frame outriggers front and rear allow the operator to optimise the machine’s footprint in order to obtain the best possible performance for the available space. The platform controls are electro-hydraulic and working envelope automatically adjusts to the footprint.
