Smart Add Multitel Platforms
Smart Platform Rental have added the Multitel MJ 201 platform to their fleet. The New model was added on the same day that Smart opened their new Bristol depot.
The Multitel MJ 201 platforms are mounted on the Nissan Cabstar Euro 6 chassis cabs and offer over 12m of working outreach and over 20m of working height. They also have a very useful below ground envelope which makes them ideal for certian types of bridge work and motorway barrier inspections.
The geometry of the MJ 201 is unique for a platform mounted on a small 3.5 ton GVM chassis cab in that the telescopic fly jib means it offers not only all the advantages of a straight telescopic boom platform but also offers many of the advantages associated with an articulated platform, namely a with good up and over outreach.
The Platforms supplied to Smart Platform Rental include a number of optional extras such as an operator anti-entrapment system in the cage and ground controls on an umbilical cable. The cage on the Multitel MJ 201 had 90 degree each way cage rotation with a payload of 250 kg. The units are chapter 8 compliant.
Andy Burt Managing Director of Smart Platform Rental said the "we have looked at different Multitel products in the past over many years but until we more recently looked closely at the MJ 201 we had never seen the way they could add significantly to what we were already offering". "Over the next couple of months these platforms will become available throughout the whole of our depot network".
