More details on Dingli Italian booms

Dingli will unveil its all new Magni designed ‘Italian' boom lift range at Bauma China next week, in the meantime we have a few more detail on two of the larger models the 73ft BT24RT and 86ft BT28RT.

One of the new Dingli Rough Terrain telescopic booom lifts

The new machines have a quite different look to most other machines on the market, with a low slung counterweights, and clean super slim superstructure. This is due to the fact that the all of the running gear, including the engine - a fuel efficient, emissions friendly Deutz Tier 4 Final power unit, are located in the chassis. Both models use a short riser, three section main boom and two section telescopic jib with 130 degrees of articulation.

The 24 and 28 have low slung counterweights

In terms of lift mechanism they adopt the same concept as the Manitou 260TJ and 280TJ and also use the same concept of off-road axles, rather than hub mounted hydraulic motors – perhaps no surprise given Ricardo Magni’s background. This also means that as with the Manitou they are slightly short on outreach at 21.8 metres – compared to the 23 metres on Skyjack, JLG and Genie

The 24 and 28 feature telescopic articulated jibs

The new machines appear quite radical, with their longer tail swing and low hung counterweight, this combined with the chassis mounted power train, will provide a very low centre of gravity, which probably explains how they can be significantly lighter and narrower. The information we have seen indicates a working width and a stowed width, how that works with axles we are not sure. But both are class leading at 2.3 metres for transport and 2.4 metres in work mode. The overall weight of 15.2 tonnes on the BT28RT is comparable with some articulated boom lifts.

The jib stuck under for transport

Platform capacities are also strong at 350kg unrestricted on the 24 and 350kg restricted on the 28, with a 250kg unrestricted capacity. Many regular telescopics currently only offer 230kg, although this is likely to change in January with Genie likely to launch an XC model with 350 and 454kg, and JLG to also add dual capacities - as Skyjack and Manitou already do.

Secondary guarding, four wheel drive, oscillating axle and perforated cushion tyres are all standard equipment. The official launch of what will be an eight model line up, is scheduled for next Tuesday in Shanghai. The Vertikal Press will be there, reporting from the scene.
