Elliott Equipment Co. (Omaha, NE), in collaboration with dealer MIRK Inc., is announcing a lightweight, aluminum body and toolbox, custom-built package designed specifically for Elliott’s material-handling HiReach aerial work platforms. The complete, six-toolbox package weighs up to 60% less than a standard, steel flatbed and toolbox setup, the company reports.
The two-piece aluminum bed features an extruded grip surface. It can include a wide variety of underbody boxes, torch boxes and lamp bins constructed on treadplate or smooth aluminum, with locking doors. The company cites such benefits as lower chassis costs, less maintenance, increased rust protection and a higher resale value.
