20M DIESEL ARTICULATING BOOM

Manitou 200ATJ – 20m Diesel Boom Lift: Unrivalled Reach and Rough Terrain Agility

The Manitou 200ATJ articulated boom lift is a powerful and versatile machine built for extreme challenges. Engineered to deliver exceptional vertical and horizontal reach with outstanding rough-terrain performance, this diesel-powered platform ensures maximum productivity and safety when working at height on diverse job sites.

Features

• 20.37m (66 ft 10 in) Max. Working Height: Provides substantial vertical reach, allowing operators to comfortably access very high work points on large structures, industrial plants, and challenging installations.
• 18.37m (60 ft 3 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
• Impressive 11.99m (39 ft 4 in) Max. Horizontal Outreach: Offers significant horizontal reach, enabling operators to work effectively over obstacles or across large spans, greatly enhancing flexibility and reducing repositioning time.
• 8.0m (26 ft 3 in) Up-and-Over Clearance: The articulated boom design allows for excellent "up-and-over" capabilities, enabling the platform to navigate over obstructions like walls, pipes, or machinery.
• 230 kg (507 lbs) Platform Capacity: Safely accommodates two operators along with a generous amount of tools and materials, facilitating efficient work execution at height.
• Superior Rough Terrain Performance:
  • True 4-Wheel Drive (4WD): Ensures maximum traction and mobility across challenging ground conditions, including mud, sand, gravel, and steep inclines.
  • Active Oscillating Front Axle: Maintains continuous ground contact for all wheels, enhancing stability and traction on uneven terrain.
  • 4-Wheel Steering with Crab Mode: Provides exceptional manoeuvrability in confined spaces. The "crab steer" feature allows the machine to move diagonally, which is crucial for precise positioning next to structures.
  • High Ground Clearance (e.g., 0.43m / 1 ft 5 in): Enables the machine to clear obstacles and traverse rough ground without issues.
  • Up to 40-45% Gradeability: Capable of climbing significant slopes, even when fully stowed, for excellent site accessibility.
• Powerful & Efficient Diesel Engine: Typically powered by a reliable Yanmar Stage V diesel engine (e.g., Yanmar 3TNV88C-KMU, approx. 25.5 kW / 34 hp), ensuring consistent power, fuel efficiency, and compliance with modern emission standards. An incremental hydraulic management system often helps reduce noise and fuel consumption.
• Proportional Controls & Simultaneous Movements: Features highly responsive proportional controls for smooth, precise, and accurate boom and platform movements. The ability to perform 4 simultaneous movements (e.g., drive, steer, boom extend, basket rotate) significantly boosts productivity.
• Large and Robust Platform: Equipped with a spacious, fully galvanized platform (approx. 2.1m x 0.8m) providing a comfortable and secure working area. It also features 90° left/right platform rotation for optimal positioning.
• Comprehensive Safety Features:
  • Audible Alarm and Illuminated Indicator Lamp: Alerts operators to critical conditions such as machine leveling, overload, and lowering.
  • Overload Protection System: Prevents operation if the platform load exceeds the safe working limit.
  • Tilt Sensor: Automatically limits functions if the machine's tilt angle exceeds safe operating parameters.
  • Emergency Stop Buttons: Located on both the platform and ground control panels for immediate shutdown in an emergency.
  • Standard Secondary Guarding: Provides additional protection for the operator against crushing risks.
  • Foam-Filled Tyres: Offers superior puncture resistance, reducing downtime on debris-strewn construction sites.
• Compact Stowed Dimensions: Despite its impressive reach, the 200ATJ has a relatively compact stowed length of around 6.3 meters and a height of 3.15 meters, aiding in transport and storage.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed for accessibility of components and features diagnostic systems to simplify servicing and maximize uptime.

Applications

The Manitou 200ATJ is a preferred choice for a wide range of demanding outdoor applications:

• Heavy Construction: Steel erection, curtain walling, bridge maintenance, facade installation, and major structural work.
• Industrial Maintenance: Accessing high-level machinery, pipework, and structural components in large factories, chemical plants, refineries, and power stations.
• Shipbuilding & Marine Maintenance: Providing elevated access in shipyards and for marine vessel repairs.
• Utilities & Infrastructure: Installation and maintenance of high-voltage lines, telecommunications equipment, and large-scale public infrastructure.
• Events & Entertainment: Setting up complex rigging, lighting, and sound systems at large outdoor concerts, festivals, and sporting events.
• Tree Care & Arboriculture: Reaching high branches for pruning or removal, particularly on uneven or sloped terrain.
• General Building Envelope Work: Cleaning, painting, and repair of large building exteriors.
