The 55 metre P550 joins the award winning P480 in the shares many of its features, including its revolutionary X-jib with 240 degrees of articulation and 400 degrees of platform rotation. Outreach on the 550 is 40 metres, with 20 metres of it coming from a longer upper boom/jib, compared to the P480, while the rest of the additional height comes from longer main boom sections.

Product manager Yves Schlessiger, said: “In the development of the P550, we made sure that we would not sacrifice any free mobility in offering this range. This makes our products superior to conventional access platforms and enables entirely new application areas. Thanks to the sensitive proportional controls, even at great heights, the user can precisely direct the jib of the P550 for operations on buildings, masts or even beneath overhangs”.
