THE SECOND RECORD FOR SOCAGE Reached 28 meters height on 3.5 Ton

To celebrate the new project Socage has created a new name that will be introduced for the future models: Forste 28D. The name comes from the new range restyling inspired by the charity Association for Children “Forste” where the number indicates the working height and the letter stands for the type of boom, which in this case is 28 meters double articulated. 

 

This new model will be launched at Bauma in April and it once more will confirm Socage commitment to Innovation and the level of the know-how the Company has reached in the industry.  The state of the art R&D department is one of Socage greater achievements with a fifteen-year experience in the market. Despite the difficulties the market is facing, the Company is investing in training courses, new and upgraded 3D Design Software which allows the Technical Department to carry out stress analysis on individual components prior to production. The materials used are therefore optimized and the result is the greater performance of the overall platform.

 

The previous 28 meters model, DA328, is mounted on 5,6-ton truck that is able to reach 28 meters height, 16 meters working outreach with 225 Kg SWL.

 

From the combination between the experience and the new software Socage has created the Forste 28D, the first 28m double articulated platform mounted on 3,5T Chassis which allows anybody with a driving license to hire it. The Forste 28D is able to reach 28m working height, the SWL is 300 Kg, the maximum outreach is 14 m and it has electro-hydraulic controls.

 

This platform is ideal for the city centre as it is extremely compact (6690 mm travelling length and 2100 mm width with front and rear H frame outriggers) and allows the operator to optimize the stabilization area in order to obtain the best possible performance of the platform.

 

At the Socage stand in the outdoor area F13.1304/2, the visitors will also find other two new platforms, the telescopic with jib TJJ39 Forste and the telescopic T319.
