First 223ft boom in Europe

The first 223ft XCMG XGS70K telescopic boom lift in Europe has gone to work with Hire Safe Solutions in the UK.

The XGS70K has a five section telescopic boom, topped by a three section jib with 131 degrees of articulation, providing a working height of just under 70 metres - 69.6 metres to be exact - and a maximum outreach of 32.5 metres with 230kg in the platform. The maximum platform capacity is 460kg at an outreach of 27 metres, while 300kg is possible at just under 30 metres.

Gerard Jennings of Hire Safe Solutions said: "We are delighted to announce the arrival of the very first 70 metre self-propelled boom lift in Europe. As the machine is new to the industry, we have taken time to get our engineering teams trained in the maintenance and use of the unit ensuring the best possible experience for the customer.”

The second unit has arrived in the Netherlands and should be delivered next week.
