The LZT58J features a five section pentagonal main boom topped by a six metre two section telescopic jib with 125 degrees of articulation, offering a 58.8 metre working height, and an outreach up to 25.5 metres, with an unrestricted platform capacity of 300kg. The maximum platform capacity of 454kg is available at an outreach of up to 22.5 metres.

Dick Bac, owner of Dutch international aerial lift sales and rental company Bac said: “We are really excited to deliver the ZT58J for this project, it is such a stable and powerful machine on site and is ideally suited to the work inside and out.”

Zoomlion Access sales and marketing director Jason Liu added: “The purchase and application of the first ZT58J in Europe is definitely a milestone of how Zoomlion Access products are trustworthy, and its innovation has been developed aligning with the market demand. As a global manufacturer, we’ve seen a product gap of ultra boom lifts in Europe, and that’s the trigger for innovating ZT58J.”

The Świnoujście LNG terminal is currently being expanded to cope with increased imports and storage of Liquified Natural Gas, to cope with losses from the Russian pipeline closures. When complete, it will have a capacity of 7.5 billion cubic metres a year and be able to satisfy about half of Poland's annual natural gas demand.
