China-based equipment manufacturer LGMG has officially launched its new heavy-duty boom lift, following its presentation at the ConExpo-CON/AGG construction exhibition in the US in February of this year.

Designed for outdoor construction and industrial applications, the AR14J-H (AR45J-H) is a 7.4-tonne (16,300-lb) machine that has a Kubota V2403/D1105 diesel engine at its heart.

It has a maximum working height of 15.9m and an outreach of 7.7m, with an up-and-over reach of 7.4m.

It also benefits from four-wheel, crab and front-wheel steering modes, which allow it to handle varying site conditions, such as hard and uneven terrain. A one-touch wheel alignment feature that enables easier and safer operation, and provides 45% gradeability.

The large 450kg (992lb) capacity platform of the AR14J-H (AR45J-H) can accommodate up to three people, and proportional lift and drive controls is said to deliver more comfortable operation. 

LGMG has equipped the articulating model with an intelligent self-diagnostic system.

Other features that aim to reduce the boom lift’s TCO include a boom that descends using gravity to reduce fuel consumption and a swing-out engine tray.

The gives owners and technicians quick access to the engine, reducing the time needed for maintenance and servicing and thereby lowering the TCO.
