Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has launched a range of versatile elevated work platforms (EWPs).
The chosen EWPs are made by Italian company Bravi Platforms – the first non-Toyota product to be offered by TMHA.
TMHA will be the sole importer into Australia, providing full support for the product, including maintenance contracts.
TMHA is distributing all six models of Bravi platforms and expects the three most popular will be the Sprint, with a 90kg material load capacity and maximum platform height of 3350mm; the Leonardo HD, with 180kg platform capacity and platform height of 2900mm; and the Lui 460, featuring a 280kg platform capacity and maximum platform height of 4,620mm.
The Bravi Sprint is aimed at large retailers as well as commercial maintenance and building management operations for tasks including window cleaning, ceiling repairs and replacing light globes.
It has a single mast which is operated via an integral hydraulic cylinder. This removes the need for chains and linkages, with fewer moving parts and no need for regular lubrication and maintenance.
At TMHA’s request Bravi made a number of changes to the standard specification to suit the local market.
These include a safety feature that cuts the hydraulic lifting system if the interlocking gate is not closed correctly, operator platform service lock, and a recess added to the cover to enable it to be used for storage.
