January, 2007 — Here's a look into the 5th boom in the Summit Series Line

Bil-Jax, Inc., a leading manufacturer of scaffold and aerial lifts since 1947, has announced their new 2622T Telescopic Aerial Work Platform.  The   trailer-mounted boom lift provides 32' of working height and 22' of outreach and features an automatic, self-leveling hydraulic outrigger system that allows for set-up in 30 seconds when all four outriggers are deployed simultaneously.

The outriggers provide an industry leading leveling capability of 12.5 degrees and feature large, 10” diameter non-marking footpads for use on rough terrain job sites or sensitive flooring applications. The 2622T is the 5th model in the Bil-Jax Summit Series line of trailer mounted boom lifts.

This new 2622T Telescopic Aerial Work Platform is available with either 24v DC battery power or an optional DC and Honda gas hybrid engine package.  Other features include: a 2-person platform with a rated load capacity of 440 lbs.; 700-degree turntable rotation; outrigger interlocks; and an optional 110v GFI duplex outlet at the platform. 

The 2622T can be operated from either the platform or ground control station.  Both feature a display panel with control buttons that are logically positioned around a single machine image for easy identification of button functions. 

The 2622T’s boom design consists of one primary boom arm containing a telescopic section that is easier to operate than conventional articulating booms that frequently require multiple elevation changes of two boom arms in order to lift and position the platform. 

The 2622T is easily towed behind vehicles with adequate towing capacity and a Class 3 hitch.  A maximum tow speed rating of 65 mph is one of the highest in the industry, providing for faster transportation to and from job sites and equipment yards.

Several options make the 2622T even more versatile.  These include a material lifting attachment that allows the machine to be easily converted into a light-duty crane by employing the platform quick disconnect system and the optional material lifting attachment.  The material lifting attachment can be used for sign installation, setting trusses, and a variety of other material lifting and positioning applications.

For on-site powered maneuverability, a drive option lets users operate the outriggers and drive the machine from the platform when it’s in the fully-lowered position.  Other options include: an air line to the platform; spare tire; tool tray; and a combination hitch with an adjustable height coupler.  A number of hitch couplers are available to meet individual towing preferences.  Bil-Jax plans to introduce additional options and accessories in the future.
