2. What Is a 24m Boom Lift?
A 24m Boom Lift is a type of self-propelled aerial work platform (AWP) designed to provide temporary access for people and equipment to hard-to-reach areas up to 24 meters (approximately 79 feet) high. This category typically refers to telescopic boom lifts, also known as “stick booms,” which are characterized by a straight, extendable arm that provides exceptional horizontal and vertical reach.
How It Works: Power, Reach, and Control
Power & Propulsion: The TIANLU 24m model is available with multiple power options, including advanced lithium-ion batteries for zero-emission operation or high-efficiency diesel engines like the Kubota D1105 for rugged, off-grid outdoor tasks.
Mobility on Site: Equipped with heavy-duty, puncture-resistant tires and four-wheel drive, these lifts can navigate rough, uneven terrain. With drive speeds up to 4.8 km/h when stowed, they move efficiently between work areas.
Precision Lifting: Using hydraulic cylinders, the telescopic boom extends smoothly. Operators use intuitive proportional joystick controls from the platform to manage boom functions with precision, even at full extension.
Working at Height: The operator works from a secure platform equipped with guardrails, safety harness anchor points, and often AC power outlets for tools. The TIANLU design ensures minimal sway, providing a stable work environment.
Efficient Stowage: After completing the task, the boom retracts, and the machine’s compact stowed dimensions allow for easier maneuvering on crowded sites and efficient transport between locations.
3. Key Features of the TIANLU 24m Boom Lift (TRTB Series)
The TIANLU 24m Boom Lift is engineered for performance, safety, and versatility, incorporating advanced features that set it apart in the AWP market.
- Maximum Outdoor Reach: Provides a working height of up to 27.9m (91.5 ft) with a horizontal outreach of up to 12.5m (41.0 ft), perfect for covering large areas from a single setup position.
- High Load Capacity (Dual Capacity): Features a dual-rated platform capacity, allowing for 300 kg (661 lbs) of unrestricted lifting or up to 450 kg (992 lbs) in a limited range, capable of lifting up to three workers and their heavy tools or materials.
- Robust Construction (Q345 Steel): Built with high-strength Q345 steel, this boom lift offers 20–30% greater durability and structural integrity than standard steel, ensuring longevity even in the harshest outdoor environments.
- Rough Terrain Capability: Equipped with oscillating axles and four-wheel drive, it maintains traction on uneven ground. With a gradeability of up to 45%, it can handle slopes and soft ground conditions commonly found on construction sites.
- 360° Continuous Rotation: The turntable provides non-stop rotation, allowing for precise positioning without having to stop and reverse, significantly improving work efficiency.
- Eco-Efficient Power Options: Choose from powerful diesel engines for extended outdoor use or zero-emission, low-noise lithium-ion battery configurations for noise-sensitive or environmentally regulated sites.
- Advanced Control System: Features an intuitive, platform-mounted control box with digital diagnostics, providing real-time machine data and simplifying troubleshooting.
- Jib Articulation: A vertical jib with ±90° rotation adds an extra degree of flexibility, allowing operators to fine-tune their position around obstacles like beams, roof edges, or pipes.
