The new Comet X-Trailer is Australia’s most compact trailer mounted boom lift with a stowed length of just 3.10m. This makes it the most compact in its class and only takes a single car space when parked. Where traditional trailer mounts have a longer boom length from the base, Comet has minimised this length. Comet’s smart design has decreased the booms length to improve storage without sacrificing overall performance. As a result, it is more compact when towing and allows for improved access when working both indoors and outdoors. The lightweight design also ensures is can be towed by a range of vehicles including mid-size sedans.
The Comet X-Trailer has a working height of 12m with a lift capacity of 200kg. A horizontal outreach of 4.5m makes it ideal for accessing high or tricky areas. Furthermore the 360-degree rotation provides extra flexibility in movement when on site. Where operators require a compact boom whilst maintaining a good working height and reach, the Comet achieves this. This makes the cherry picker ideal for a range of applications including sign writing, electrical, painting, glazers and facility maintenance.
The trailer mounted boom lift is built to the highest quality standards by one of Italy’s oldest and most respected EWP manufacturers, Comet Officine. These machines are fully compliant and meet strict European and Australian standards.
United are proud to be offering another new and innovative product to the market. The Comet trailer mounted boom is available to purchase, and soon to hire, being the latest edition to the national rental fleet.
