Socage steps up

Socage has unveiled its concept for its 100 metre plus truck mounted lift, which will be based on its new 70 metre model TJJ 70 which it will launch at APEX in September. The new 70 metre model will be mounted on a four axle 32 tonne chassis with a main telescopic boom, 22 metre telescopic jib and a short final articulated jib. An optional 900kg lifting capacity winch will also be available for handling loads.
