HEIGHT
3 and 4-story service ceiling. All materials on the job must be moved often along the ground only, but height is vital. The Econmobile 620 with forks has a maximum take-off height of 30' 8". Concrete can be poured and aggregate buckets can also be dumped at this height. With crane hook attachment, you can go to 33'.
POWER-CAPACITY
Four thousand Ib. capacity to 30' 8". Engineered for tough jobsite conditions, Econmobiles use giant Roadbuilder tires (14:00 x 24") for maximum traction and a cushioned, floating ride, preventing spilling of loose material. Loads are centered over the forward drive wheels for maximum traction in sand, mud, or snow. An optional NoSpin differential (limited slip) transfers torque from a slipping wheel to a gripping wheel. An even flow of power is delivered through a Borg & Beck torque converter and hydraulic reversing transmission to an Eaton NoSpin double planetary drive axle.
SPEED
30 MPH top speed can double efficiency. No other machine with both reach and height provides this high top speed. It's an important plus. On sprawling jobsites, a 30 MPH speed can easily double efficiency in comparison with machines with speeds less than half the Econmobile. Another advantage is the ability to rapidly move from one jobsite to another. Note that Econmobiles are towable and can be either driven or towed to other sites. Econmobile hydraulics are fast. A load can be raised to 30' 8" in approximately 20 seconds!
