Italian low level aerial lift manufacturer Gromet, has added an upgraded model to its Axolift product line, the 10ft Elift 300 self-propelled mast type lift, based on the Elift 350 - its most popular model.
The EL300 has a 4.95 metre working height with a maximum platform capacity of 180kg - one person - with 20kg on the mast top tool tray. Improvements over the 350 include 10mm more ground clearance taking it to 35mm. Improvements to the three section box section mast include low friction ball bearings in place of nylon wear pads, and a hydraulic oil collector in the base in case of leaks.
The control box in the 890mm by 695mm platform has been relocated to a better position and improved with a new, easier to use operator friendly joystick controller, while the electrical system has been refined and updated for improved performance and serviceability.
Changes have also been made to the electric drive system including better protection for the motors, while platform descent is powered, rather than relying on gravity. Service access to the hydraulics has almost been made easier.
The unit has an overall width of 770mm an overall length of 1.23 metres and an overall stowed height of 1.77 metres. Total weight is 380kg. As with the 350, fork pockets are built in to the top of the chassis for better balance when lifting or moving the machine with a forklift, as is a footbrake on the rear axle in addition to the regular motor mounted brakes. Power comes from a single 24 volt 11Ah battery with onboard charger.
Shipments of the new machine are due to begin next month.
