Time Manufacturing Co. unveiled four aerial devices in 2003 as part of the Versalift and Condor product lines. The VO-40-MHI aerial lift has 45 feet of working height while mounted on an 84-inch cab to axle chassis, which allows for easy maneuvering in tight places. The relatively inexpensive and fuel efficient 17.500 GVWR chassis also allows for lower acquisition and operating costs. The VO-43-I aerial lift has 47 feet of working height and includes many of the same features as the VO-40-MHI. The Condor CTA-104-I is an insulated, articulated/telescopic aerial work platform that has a combined platform and jib capacity of 2.200 pounds and a working height of 103 feet 6 inches. The VST-5500/6000 series aerial lifts are 55- and 60-foot platform height machines that were introduced as a direct result of customer requests for taller versions of the very popular 50-foot VST-5000.
The Altec AT37-GR is an aerial device mounted on an off-road carrier with a working height of 41 feet and platform capacity to 400 pounds. It’s designed to tackle severe off-road conditions. The loaded carrier is rated for driving on 10-degree slopes side-to-side, and climbing 15-degree slopes in forward and reverse directions. The 21-ply all terrain tires minimize ground pressure for driving across lawns, but can deflect objects that would puncture regular turf tires. Equipped with two sets of radial outriggers, the unit sets up quickly and can be operated on slopes of up to five degrees. Narrow travel width, low center of gravity, and full time all wheel drive help to access nearly any work area, increasing safety and productivity by reducing the need to climb trees and poles.
