HOWO 18m Insulated Boom Aerial Work Platform Truck for Power Grid Utilities
Product Overview
Engineered for ultimate safety in high-voltage environments, our HOWO 4x2 18m Insulated Combined Boom Aerial Work Platform Truck is the premier choice for global power grid utilities and live-line electrical maintenance. Featuring a specialized RHD (Right-Hand Drive) layout, a premium 45kV-certified wet-winding fiberglass telescopic boom, and an integrated material handling jib, this truck guarantees 100% electrical isolation for operators while delivering exceptional working efficiency.
Key Advantages
- Dual-Layer Over-Duty Insulation: Features a 2.0m main insulation fiberglass telescopic boom and a 0.4m lower chassis insulation gap, protecting both basket operators and ground crew from fatal shocks.
- 1.2m Effective Pre-Extension: Eliminates the operational dilemma where a boom reaches the site but cannot work due to insufficient insulation extension.
- Auxiliary Material Handling Jib: Equipped with a non-conductive nylon pulley system and insulated rope, allowing safe, live-line lifting of heavy electrical components (up to 18m) without a secondary crane.
- Ultra-Smooth 3D Control: High-precision hydraulic proportional control with a 3D intuitive joystick ensures stepless speed regulation, preventing any jerking or shaking during high-altitude operations.
- Fully Internal Cable Routing: All hydraulic hoses and electric cables are hidden inside the boom structure to prevent snagging during phase-crossing operations.
