59ft electric Airo scissor lift

Italian aerial lift manufacturer Airo has launched a new battery powered 59ft XL20RTE Rough Terrain scissor lift, which offers a 20 metre working height and a 700kg platform capacity with six person rating. Features include four wheel drive, an oscillating axle, non-marking RT tyres, drive at full height and auto levelling jacks that can level up on slopes up to four degrees.

The XL20RTE has an overall width of 2.24 metres, an overall length of 4.52 metres and a stowed height of 3.35 metres - or 2.52 metres with the guardrails folded. Two 1.5 metre manual deck extensions take the platform length from 4.4 metres to 7.4 metres. Total weight is just over 11 tonnes, while two 48 volt 455Ah full traction batteries drive two AC electric motors to provide 40 percent gradeability and up to 4.5kmh drive speeds.
