12m Indoor use Battery-Powered Towable boom lift
Background and Customer Requirements:
The customer is a steel company from South Africa, which is currently building a new factory. The contractor has provided four folding arm machines for on-site factory construction but is not responsible for internal decoration. Previously, the customer always rented from rental companies, but the cost of several rentals is enough to buy a new one, and the usage time is also inconvenient. Therefore, the customer decided to buy a new one for their own factory, and when it is idle, it can also be rented out.
Customer's Usage Site:
Customer Requirements:
We received the customer’s inquiry on June 20. The customer said they wanted a 12m towable boom lift and hoped to receive it in August.
After checking the transportation time, it takes 40 days to reach the customer’s designated port, which means we must arrange transportation immediately. After checking the factory inventory, we found that there are still 12m diesel-powered ones in stock, so we contacted the customer to ask about the power type they wanted. The customer said that the operation would be carried out indoors, and the diesel engine is too noisy, so they wanted a battery-powered one. This indicates that the current spot in stock cannot meet the customer’s needs, and we have to redo it immediately.
Urgent Stock Preparation
After receiving the bank receipt, we immediately started production. Although the delivery time is tight, we always put ensuring product quality first. In response to the special requirements put forward by the customer:
(1) The battery working time must be 8 hours or more
(2) Later maintenance is inconvenient
What We Did:
1.Indoor Mute + Long-Lasting Battery Life
1.1 Four large batteries to meet 8-hour operation time
1.2 Maintenance-free batteries
1.3 Visual control panel to display battery power
1.4 Waterproof stickers for identification and precautions
2.Add emergency batteries to prevent emergency situations
Aiming at the limitation of traditional trailers that “manual emergency lowering requires the cooperation of multiple people”, we added two backup batteries, which can realize single-person operation and can be easily lowered on the platform or on the ground.
2.1 Display battery power
2.2 Waterproof stickers with precautions
2.3 Set the program only for emergency lowering to prevent the customer from mistakenly using the emergency battery during use towable boom lift, resulting in power exhaustion and inability to lower in an emergency
New Problems in Production:
1. The customer requested to remove the traffic lights when shipping to avoid unnecessary disputes during import.
However, there are multiple wires connected in the middle of the traffic lights, and direct disassembly will affect the product function and subsequent use.
So we designed a detachable frame, which is convenient for transportation and quick assembly, and can also prevent damage to core components during transportation.
To ensure the customer’s smooth customs clearance, we added a permanent frame number on the towable boom lift to meet the requirements of customs clearance for equipment identification.
What We Did:
1. For the wires that need to be connected, we use cards of different colors for marking to facilitate the customer’s installation.
2.Customize power plugs and charger plugs according to the local sockets of the customer.
Accessories and circuit diagrams
To simplify the operation process, we posted graphic operation steps in prominent positions of the towable boom lift to ensure that users can use it quickly.

For safety:
1.Equipped with traffic lights, which automatically light up when the front vehicle brakes or turns, ensuring environmental safety during movement.
2.At the same time, it is equipped with a triple brake device (electric brake + hand brake + high-speed brake) to comprehensively ensure the stability of the equipment during start, stop and movement.
3.Emergency stop buttons are available for both upper and lower controls:
4.Hydraulic lock: It closes the oil inlet and outlet passages of the hydraulic cylinder to prevent the folding arm from suddenly falling, and always ensures that the folding arm stays at the target position to ensure operational safety.
5.Overload protection: There is a weight sensor under the platform. When the equipment exceeds the rated load, the equipment will alarm and cannot rise.
6.Equipped with an oil level gauge for easy checking of the hydraulic oil condition.
