new 10' work platform


Recommended Posts

Got our first chance today to work our new 10' auto-leveling, rotating work platform by ReachAll Platforms. This thing is Sweeeet! Having the ability to rotate the platform really makes a difference. This attaches to our 23.5 ton crane. We had a 6' wide basket that did not rotate and was gravity leveled. Seems you were always working out of the corner of the basket, never in quite the right position. My guys and I agree that this is going to be a real time saver and save us rental fees for hi-rises that we no longer have to take to the ground to reface. Smooth operation and well built. Will be a lot more efficient when I don't have to remove the basket to get it into my shop. When stowed it extends 20" farther off the rear of the truck than the old basket, so I have to build a bump out on the back wall to accommodate the platform ( I new this going in). I've attached a few photos showing the platform.

Eugene,

Would you mind saying what the ballpark pricing was for that? Did you have to send the truck to them for fittment ?

Definately a sweet looking basket setup.

Thanks

Richard

Richard I bought a demo model so I got a really great deal. He makes a 5' and 10' model, and depending on the options the cost is between $12,000 & $20,000. I sent Tim my measurements for my boom and he made it to fit. He delivered it to me (it fit perfectly), set it up and trained us on it's use. It is not cheap, but you have to spend money to make money. We do more & more hi-rise work everyday, and it won't take long save in crane fees what I paid for it. I can see it making us much more productive, especially on hi-rise work and big channel letter jobs. Has to be faster to put up patterns, 2 guys can drill at one time, mount, put on faces, etc. I didn't mention in my first post that I also have radio remotes. With both of these options the crane is just like working out of a big bucket truck.

Eugene,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am having to make a decision here soon to either upgrade my old skyhoist or do something like this with my JLG. The JLG has remotes but I have never used them since I did mostly lifting with the truck. 20K is still cheaper than buying a whole new rig. I may have to give him a shout. Would be really nice if he offers a jib winch as well to compliment the forks.

Merry Christmas

Richard
