The four axle T 750 has a five section main boom, topped by a three section top boom and a short articulated jib. The unit has a maximum platform capacity of 600kg, and can achieve its maximum height with a 320kg in the platform. Maximum outreach is 41 metres with 100kg in the platform. The company’s Dynamic Reach System (DRS) also provides the optimum working envelope based on the position of the outriggers, the boom, slew position and the weight in basket.
