The handover

All three are equipped with a 230 volt AC mains motor drive for indoor or quiet outside operation in addition to a Hatz diesel for more typical outdoor work. The units also have a third battery powered auxiliary control system complete with its own hydraulic pump for emergencies, allowing the operator to descend if the other two should fail.
