The Leguan 135 access platform raises standards by introducing many new features designed to make operation easier, safer and more efficient. The new model is of compact design but without compromising on stability or reach. Powered by a choice of either its 13 hp Honda petrol engine or electric motor depending on internal or external use, the 135 provides automatic levelling with up to 13.2 m vertical and 6.8 m horizontal reach with a safe working load in any position of 140 kg. With a more restricted envelope of operation the machine is capable of lifting up to 230 kg which allows two people and tools.

As with all Leguan platforms, the 135 is available mounted on either tracks or four wheels. The latter version is all-wheel drive and has a travel speed of up to 3 km/h whilst the tracked version provides excellent all-terrain ability, helped by a generous ground clearance of 265 mm. Both types feature a four speed transmission with two speed ranges for maximum on-site manoeuvrability.

In addition, a remote control unit is supplied as standard which enables the platform to be operated safely whilst either travelling or lifting and the telescopic boom system allows 360 degree rotation as well as a wide 120 degree jib to allow negative angles to be achieved.
