Dingli upgrades compact RT scissors

Chinese aerial lift manufacturer Dingli has improved and upgraded its 33ft JCPT1217RT compact Rough Terrain scissor lift, to the JCPT1217RTI.

The improvements aim to give the machine better off road traction and gradeability, and include the replacement of the previous White hydraulic drive motors with bigger, higher power Sauer Danfoss drive motors, along with the addition of an oscillating axle along with a move from one large hydraulic pump to two smaller independent pumps.

The new Dingli JCPT1217RTI 33ft compact Rough Terrain scissor lift

The changes have been made in repose to customer input, with gradeability increasing 33 percent over the previous model to over 40 percent on the new model. The hydraulic block has been re-engineered to provide two drive modes, when for travelling on smooth surfaces at speed, when the machine operates in rear wheel drive only for maximum efficiency and speed. Alternatively when operating slowly on difficult ground conditions or slopes, four wheel drive kicks in for maximum tractive effort. This extra drive is made even more effective with the new oscillating axle, along with a redesigned chassis frame which increases ground clearance by 100mm to 290mm.

Gradeability is now more than 40 percent

Overall width of the new machine remains at 1.73 metres/68 inches, while overall length is 3.32 metres with outriggers installed, or 2.67metres without. Platform capacity is 450kg, on the main 2.5 by 1.55 metre deck, a 1.43 metre roll out deck extension is included in the specification with a capacity of 236kg. Overall machine weight is 3,870kg. These improvements will also be carried over to other models in the family, the 39.4 metre JCPT1417RTI and 26ft JCPT1017RTI.

Vertikal Comment
It is interesting and perhaps surprising to see such a company such as Dingli reacting so positively and promptly to customer comments and perhaps a few grumbles, and then announcing the changes openly. It sounds as though the few but not insignificant changes will give this new machine far greater potential both at home and in the export market.
The proof though, will as they say be in the eating. Expect to see these new machines arriving in Europe early next year.
