VITAL
REASONS WHY
BIG
REACH
PLUS ARC-TYPE
EXTENDED REACH
Reach 8' 4" ahead of the wheels, and then with the machine standing still, you can project the load an additional 46 inches.
The advantage of a big reach and then an extended reach over vertical mast vehicles cannot be overestimated. Reach means doing more jobs, much faster, because you can reach over ditches, across the beds of trucks, through doors and windows and to the back of scaffolds. it also means you can effectively use a number of attachments, including concrete hopper, aggregate buckets, etc.
With arc-type extended reach you have a full 46" of transverse movement and the safety of placing loads with the machine standing still. (See reach chart for full specifications.)
