Haulotte Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of people and material lifting equipment, has launched a new articulating boom lift following the success of the HA16 and HA20 ranges of articulating booms.

Designed and enhanced to meet the expectations of users, the HA26 range is versatile for various applications including; construction, finishing, maintenance and renovation, industrial operations, demolition, landscaping, and tree pruning.

Combined with three key assets: a working height of 26.4m, up-and-over clearance of 9.3m to overcome obstacles with ease and excellent 17.5m horizontal outreach to work in hard-to reach areas, the HA26 range provides the best working envelope.

Due to machine weight limits, users cannot always load all of their tools at once and Haulotte addressed this issue by including a 250kg / 350kg dual load capacity as an option. When in 350kg mode, the platform can accommodate an extra 40 percent of tools by weight.

The HA26 range is claimed to be suitable for any terrain including rough terrains. With a grade ability of up to 45 percent, the machine has an oscillating axle for superior ground adhesion and a hydraulic differential wheel lock that effectively distributes power to the wheels. Its high ground clearance allows users to get over obstacles. It also has a smaller turning radius and a well-dimensioned frame to manoeuvre in confined spaces.

With a focus on safety to protect users by preventing risks, especially crushing risk, the HA26 range is also equipped with the Haulotte ACTIV’Shield Bar 2.0. The system is now fully incorporated into the upper control protection cover that guarantees better ergonomics and enhanced robustness. With the provision of a “safety gap”, the user is protected from any risk of crushing without compromising productivity.

In addition, users may lack visibility when driving due to the size of the boom, potentially causing accidents. The newly-launched innovated platform however, gives users greater visibility by raising the jib to a vertical position even when the machine is moving at full speed.

The HA26 range is also equipped with the Activ’Screen on-board diagnostic system and the Stop Emission System which stops and restarts the engine automatically while operators are working at height. For fleet management it is equipped with a universal telematics connector as standard. It adapts to any type of telematic system and allows the operator to quickly connect their own telematics devices to Haulotte machines.

Based in L’Horme, France, this leading European manufacturer offers an extensive range of aerial work platforms including: vertical masts, push arounds, scissor lifts, articulating booms, telescopic booms and telehandlers. With Singapore as the hub for equipment sales, spare parts & services support for Haulotte machines across Asia, Haulotte Singapore has a Sales and Customer support team (Parts & Services) to directly serve the Singapore market (rental companies and end users). Outside Singapore, the company has an extensive distribution network for sales and after-sales activities for Haulotte machines (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan).
