Haulotte’s new COMPACT electric scissors

They integrate the Group’s high-quality standards and meet all the requirements for working at heights from 8 to 14 metres on all types of stabilized ground.

The new models offer five working heights, from 8 to 14m, with load capacities from 250 to 450kg and two frame widths to suit the working environment.

“It is exciting to offer this fresh range to Australia. The new models are easy to use, versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications,” says Keith Clarke, General Manager of Haulotte Australia.

The COMPACT scissors have been designed to ensure long-term durability and an optimal ROI. All sensitive elements are integrated to operate in dirty environments. At the front of the machine, the steering sensors are housed to avoid damage. At the rear, the ladder, motors, platform, and charger sockets are built into the counterweight to prevent costly and time-consuming repairs. To simplify transport, lateral and longitudinal forklift pockets are available.

Guardrails have been reinforced using larger section tubes and two vertical reinforcement bars help absorb impacts and limit deformation. All models are equipped with easily foldable guardrails, which remain in the footprint of the chassis.

COMPACT scissors guarantee high productivity and utilization rates capable of climbing slopes up to 25% and lift to 450 kg (3ppl) depending on the model. Full height travel is possible. The COMPACT 8, 10 and 12N models operate indoors and outdoors without height or load restrictions and two chassis widths are available. Asynchronous motors have significantly improved the energy efficiency of the range.

COMPACT scissors can be equipped with SHERPAL to improve operational utilization and improve safety and security. The electric transmission (AC motors) ensures smooth operation all the way up to the work area. The proportional movements allow precise maneuvers, and the upper control box is equipped with an ergonomic joystick and a drive-speed selector. The front steering wheels have an optimal turning radius as the motors are located at the rear. COMPACT scissors can also be equipped with a new secondary guarding system, which detects the driver’s position and movements in real time using LiDAR technology. In dangerous situations, the machine stops immediately and restricts forward movements.

COMPACT scissor lifts have been designed to facilitate routine maintenance operations. Components are easily accessible, electrical and hydraulic elements have been separated, and the routing of hoses have been designed to avoid the risk of friction and leaks. Asynchronous motors require no routine maintenance and have been tested to guarantee robustness.

To improve the performance and the lifespan of the battery, COMPACT scissors are equipped with Activ’Energy Management. The intelligent CAN BUS charger constantly monitors battery parameters to ensure optimal charging. It also incorporates dedicated charging cycles for battery maintenance and can be fitted with centralized watering solutions, either manual or automatic.

Diagnostic solutions facilitate troubleshooting and reduce downtime. Including Activ’Screen, which provides real-time information about the machine’s status, the Diag app deliver diagnostic data with detailed resolution procedures, and SHERPAL* telematics, which allows remote machine diagnosis, reducing downtime by providing fault codes and remedies.
