Zoomlion takes aerial work platforms to new heights

Zoomlion recently released the world’s highest straight boom aerial work platform, the ZT 82J which features a working height of 82.3 metres. The ZT 82J was released during bauma China along with a number of other new products in the range.

The launch of Zoomlion’s new Intelligent High Machines included the ZT51JEH, a hybrid telescopic boom lift with a working height of 50.6 metres and the ZA42J crank arm aerial work platform with a working height of 44m.

Zoomlion’s ZT 82J features a maximum working load of 454 kilograms and a gradeability of 35 per cent. It continues the characteristics of Zoomlion’s intelligent high-speed products in the ultra-high metre range.
It also adopts the technology of super-long boom composite motion and double-cylinder cooperative control. It features 21 security protection technologies to ensure the safety mechanisms rank the ZT 82J first in the industry.

With an operating height of 50.5m the ZT51EH is a hybrid telescopic boom lift platform with a maximum working load of 454 kilograms. It not only meets the needs of an electric operation for urban and indoor applications, it can operate continuously in the field without the need to recharge the battery. On a full charge the ZT51EH can work continuously for seven days, solving the problem of having to continuously recharge.

Zoomlion’s ZA42J crank-type aerial work platform is the largest in the range. It features an operating height of 44.03m but has an operating spanning reach of 24.5m. Its tower arm adopts a multi stage oil cylinder for expansion and contraction, making telescoping safe and stable. It features a fast lifting function and also a dip function which enables it to reach a depth of 5.5m.

Recently, Zoomlion conducted product familiarisation training for contractors on the ZT68J boom lift. This model features a working height of 67.5m and an outreach of 31m.

David Valquez, Zoomlion’s Sales Manager for Victoria and South Australia was happy with how the training went.

“We had WGTP and CPB working with the machines and the overall feedback was very positive,” he said. “They commented on the easy-to-use design of the machine and how the simple, intuitive controls made operation seamless. They felt it was rock-solid in terms of stability and felt very safe operating it at impressive heights. The smooth and precise movement are exactly what is needed when working at 68m.”
