15m Boom Lift at a Power Plant

Putting the 15m Boom Lift to the Test

CPL recently organised a customer-specific open day to address the unique needs of a long-standing client. Having previously acquired pick-up mounted platforms from us, they required a different solution for specific tasks at their plant. Introducing the Almacrawler Jibbi U-1570 Evo tracked platform to the power company emerged as a robust alternative that could meet the required specifications for working at heights.

Following a day of rigorous testing, the 15m Boom Lift was brought to the site to ensure its suitability for the task at hand. Its selection was driven by features like its basket rotation angle of +/- 90° and lightweight towable specification. The team was particularly impressed by its ability to navigate through tight spaces, given that the JIBBI 1570 is just 1.35m wide when the tracks are retracted.

Remarkably, this model is designed without outriggers, facilitating rapid setup and stowing, making it perfect for short-duration jobs that require efficient execution. The ability to drive the unit without stowing it away proved to be a significant advantage: the machine can be moved at heights of up to 9.5m, enhancing efficiency and time-saving without compromising safety protocols. This successful trial reinforces the JIBBI 1570's effectiveness as a versatile and efficient solution for tasks requiring precision and mobility at elevated heights.
