German-based Mateco has added a new van mounted platform with hybrid drive to its rental fleet.
The LT 135 KD/E is mounted on a 3.5 tonne van and equipped with a 1000 volt insulated boom.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and vehicle payload of 400 kg, the platform is suited to carrying a range of tools as well as the operator. The hybrid drive also ensures low emissins and quiet use in urban areas.
The LT 135 KD/E has a maximum working height of 13.50 m, maximum lateral reach of 8.20 m. The hybrid drive counts for up to 18 litres of fuel saving each day. Maximum load in the basket is 265 kg.
