Haulotte has launched the HA26 RTJ Pro range of articulating booms that builds on the same design, architecture and performance levels as the HA16 and HA20 ranges.

The booms have been designed to meet the expectations of operators in terms of performance and ensure a cost-effective investment for rental companies.

“The versatile machine is suitable for multiple applications, such as construction, finishing, maintenance and renovation, industrial operations, demolition, landscaping and tree-cutting,” says a spokesman for the French company.

The HA26 models have a working height of 26.4 m, an up-and-over clearance of 9.3 m to overcome obstacles with ease, and 17.5 m horizontal outreach to work in hard-to-reach areas.

The new booms also address load capacity issues by including a 250-350 kg dual load capacity as an option. In the 350 kg mode, the platform can accommodate an extra 40 per cent of equipment by weight.

The HA26 range has an innovative lighting system called Activ’Lighting System-Safe Load, which enables safe loading and unloading in conditions of limited visibility. To reduce fuel consumption, the machines are equipped with the innovative Stop Emission System that automatically stops and restarts the engine. In addition, overall noise level is reduced allowing operators to work in sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools and offices.
