Dinolift
Dinolift introduces a new battery operated version called DINO 180TB. The new DINO 180TB represents all the typical and acknowledged features of the DINO family. The machine is easy to use, compact and continues the fresh, good-looking DINO design. Proportional steering and telescopic boom secure stable and close access to the work target even at long outreach and the hydraulic outriggers enable quick and easy set up. The driving system and the basket rotation are standard as in all DINO models. Although equipped with the battery case the machine is lightweight and therefore easy to tow and move at the work site. Thanks to the batteries the DINO 180TB can be used wherever electricity is not available. The machine works with mains power as well, and it is possible to use the machine even when charging the battery. With DINO 180TB also the environmental aspects have been taken into account. The machine is energy-saving since the motor is running only when using the boom functions.

Bil-Jax
Bil-Jax, Inc. will have the new X-Boom on display at APEX. The X-Boom is a lightweight, self-propelled boom lift. Instead of a heavy counterweight and hefty price tag the X-Boom reduces the weight and cost using auto-levelling hydraulic outriggers. X-Booms match industry standards with 45% gradeability, 3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) drive speed and four-wheel drive capability. Hydraulic outriggers have replaced the heavy counterweights found on conventional self-propelled machines. Set-up is complete in less than 30 seconds. This makes the X-Boom lighter and less expensive than other self-propelled booms on the market. Two models are currently available. The 36XT is a Telescopic Boom featuring 43 ft (13.4 m) of working height and a 32 ft (9.8 m) maximum outreach. Weighing in at 4,900 lbs (2,223 kg), operators can transport the 36XT on a trailer with a medium duty SUV or truck. The 45XA is an Articulating Boom with a working height of 51 ft (15.6 m) and 27 ft (8.2 m) of maximum outreach. The weight of the 45XA is less than 4,580 lbs (2,077 kg). No commercial driver’s license required to two an X-Booms. There are a variety of options available for these lifts. Bil-Jax also offers a transport trailer to package with the X-Boom.

The na90za is a 7.3 tons weighing articulated working platform on tracks with a unique ability to turn the platform for a 180°.
