15.86m Diesel Boom Lift XC Hire Specifications

The 15.86m diesel boom lift XC is designed to provide safe and efficient access for outdoor working-at-height applications. Built for demanding construction and industrial environments, this machine combines exceptional rough-terrain capability with enhanced lifting capacity.

Providing a maximum working height of 15.86m and a platform height of 13.86m, the machine enables operators to safely complete overhead tasks while maintaining excellent productivity. The articulated boom design allows users to work around obstacles, structural steelwork, machinery, pipework, roofing structures, and building features that may restrict direct access.

The standout feature of the 15.86m diesel boom lift XC is its Xtra Capacity (XC) design. Unlike standard boom lifts that typically offer platform capacities around 227kg, the XC model provides a dual-envelope operating system that allows operators to safely carry substantially heavier loads. This makes the machine ideal for projects involving glazing panels, cladding materials, pipework, ducting, steel components, and multiple operators with tools and equipment.

Powered by a reliable diesel engine, the machine delivers excellent outdoor performance and dependable operation throughout the working day. The full-time active oscillating axle system, four-wheel drive, and rough-terrain tyres provide outstanding traction and stability across uneven ground conditions.

The impressive 7.55m horizontal outreach and 1.52m artculatin Jib allows operators to access difficult-to-reach work areas without constantly repositioning the machine. This improves productivity, reduces downtime, and supports safe working around obstacles.

The 15.86m diesel boom lift XC is particularly suitable for:

• Steel erection projects
• Cladding installation
• Curtain wall installation
• Glazing projects
• Roofing works
• Industrial maintenance
• Mechanical installations
• HVAC installation
• Pipework installation
• Construction projects
• Infrastructure works
• Facilities management
• Electrical installations
• Signage installation
• High-level inspection work
