Altequip’s range of EWPs already has fans in Australia. Altequip knows spiders and EWPs. It understands the importance of quality and reliability when working at heights, and is rapt to be able to offer Socage’s cutting-edge products to the Australian market – products like the Socage Raptor 21 S.
Socage’s Raptor spider machines deliver exceptional lifting capacity and versatility in a range of models with advanced safety features and intelligent control systems, all backed by service from Access Service Australia.
Raptor 21 S
The Raptor 21 S spider boom lift especially suits the Australian arb market.
With a maximum working height of 20.80m, the 21 S reaches out to 10.3m. The basket payload is 230kg (two operators + material) in the whole working area without any limitation, and the lift is fitted with automatic stabilisation and automatic closing for easy and safe use.
Sustainability was incorporated into the design and manufacture of the 21 S, and it offers
• Zero emissions
• Bi-energy as standard (an additional diesel engine incorporates a 230V electric motor that allows working without emissions, essential in some enclosed spaces)
• Three different travel speeds, and
• Exceptional manoeuvrability, thanks to 380º rotation and the hydraulic jib with double articulated arm.
It’s a lightweight lift equipped with extendable, white, non-marking tracks, and is among the best-performing and most compact tracked lifting platforms available.
From someone who knows
Lumberjack (Qld) Pty Ltd took delivery of the hard-working Socage Raptor 21 S and was very impressed.
‘Our Socage Raptor 21s Spider Lift from Altequip has been a game changer for our business,’ wrote Mark Kennedy, Vegetation Coordinator for the Caboolture, Queensland-based company. ‘The Raptor’s versatility and capabilities have allowed us to access trees we wouldn’t normally reach in a traditional truck-mounted elevated work platform.
‘Operating the Raptor has been effortless, from unloading to loading up with quick setups between movements. It’s fully remote controlled so you can walk alongside when manoeuvring into tight positions, and operation from the basket is great. The controls are very smooth and responsive with no delays, which makes moving around the tree a breeze’.
That’s a big recommendation already, but Mark had more to say.
‘Some of the features we like are how it’s towable on a light vehicle capable of towing 3.5t, and the basket can be taken off and replaced super easily, making it more accessible for tighter areas.
‘Also, other little features we like are the auto stow, basket levelling and a horn which is all done from the upper controls.
‘All in all, we are very happy with the purchase of the Socage Raptor 21s Spider.’
That’s a big recommendation from a very happy customer.
