The unit was the star attraction at this year's Construct exhibition

easily reach the top floor of a 12-storey building. The automatic
platform levelling feature provides operator comfort even at 120 feet.
"At UTE, we understand that getting the job done faster and safer is of
paramount importance, not to mention the substantial cost savings to
customers.

series is among the most powerful in the industry," said General
Manager, Power Systems and Material Handling Solutions at UTE, Manjula

Suitable for any maintenance work at extreme heights, the machine is
ideal even for steel mills, chemical plants, airports, and heavy
construction sites.

the 21st century.
