Omaha, Nebraska, August, 2011 – Elliott Equipment Company has raised the stakes once again by unveiling the new M85 HiReach material handling aerial work platform with 87' of working height on a non-CDL truck chassis. The M85 enters the industry with a sweet spot working height configuration and innovative features that have already captured the attention of some of the largest aerial operators in the market.
The M85 is a truck-mounted aerial work platform with an 87' vertical reach and 60’ of side reach. Elliott's engineers have built upon the most popular HiReach features by increasing platform capacity, redesigning the platform rotation and self leveling mechanism, and removing the external cable carrier to the platform. The M85 offers a 750 lb capacity 30x54” platform, an internal cable carrier system to deliver options like electric and hydraulic tool circuits to the platform, and full 180 degree platform rotation to allow the operator to stow the platform parallel with the boom. The unit also features an optional platform material handling jib with 500 lbs. capacity.
The weight and maneuverability of the M85 make it perfect for a wide variety of applications, including rental applications as no commercial drivers license is needed for operation.
Furthermore, the newly designed platform system only requires a 19 gallon hydraulic oil reservoir with 2,750 psi of system pressure thanks to a specially designed hydraulic system. The new system provides more room for tool boxes and supplies. To save even more space, the M85 features a maximum outrigger spread of 18’ on the rear outriggers, keeping the footprint to a minimum. Like all Elliott HiReach models, the M85’s dimensions comply with US road and bridge laws. The unit comes standard with an outrigger interlock system and is backed by Elliott's industry leading warranty for additional peace of mind.
