Manitou has launched the ATJ 60 for North America, the highest-reaching articulated boom work platform in its lineup for the continent.
Manitou first introduced its articulated lifts to North America in 2018 and began adding straight telescopic boom lifts in October.
All of the models meet proposed ANSI standards for aerial lifts – now known as mobile elevating work platforms, or MEWPs – scheduled to take effect March 1. To meet those standards, the lifts have automatic load-sensing to prevent platforms from being overloaded, tilt sensing to prevent tip-over, and other safety features. (Check out Equipment World’s recent series on the new standards for a more in-depth look at what the changes mean for contractors, by clicking here.)
The ATJ 60 has a platform height of 59 feet 11 inches. Up-and-over reach is 26 feet 3 inches, and horizontal reach is 39 feet 4 inches.
