The power options are AC, battery, diesel, petrol or hybrid power. You can operate it from the chassis control or platform control. And, we can add an auxiliary walking device for simple moving. Our special design helps any height of towable boom lift can fit into a 20ft container, which saves a lot of shipping cost. Also, a 40ft container can hold 3 units of towable boom lift. 

Self propelled boom lift, it can reach 8-20m, the working radius is from 5.3m to 11.7m, you can drive it on the platform from one working place to another working place. Instead of the outriggers, self propelled boom lift has balance weight to make it balanced when lifting. The power options are battery or diesel. You can operate it from the chassis control or platform control. According to different heights, it will need a 20ft or a 40ft container for shipping.
