Sinoboom launches new narrow articulating boom lifts

Hunan, China

Chinese-headquartered MEWP manufacturer, Sinoboom, has launched two new models in its suite of narrow electric articulating boom lifts - the AB13ERJN and AB15ERJN.

Sinoboom says both models have 355-degree turntable rotation and 180-degree platform rotation, are a width of 1.5m and have a payload capacity of 230kg.

The AB13ERJN model has a platform height of 13m and a horizontal reach of 7.4m, while the AB15ERJN model has a platform height of 14.8m and a horizontal reach of 7.1m.

Peter Peng, head of Sinoboom’s product planning department, says the launch of the two models follows the success of their predecessor, the AB10ERJN articulating boom lift, launched in 2023.

The Raymond Corporation’s iWarehouse ObjectSense Detection & Notification System (iW.ObjectSense) has been named the Material Handling Innovation of the Year award at the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards.

The awards are held by SupplyTech, an independent market intelligence organisation which evaluates and recognises technology companies, products and services in the global logistics and supply chain.

The iW.ObjectSense system uses a dynamic detection field which adjusts in real-time, based on the forklift’s speed and steer angle. Visual and audible notifications alert operators to potential hazards, offering stop or slow down functionality.

Shannon Curtis, Raymond Corporation’s director of product marketing, says: “We are pleased to accept this award from SupplyTech Breakthrough and will continue to support operators in material handling through intelligent automation and data transparency as they navigate the next generation of the supply chain and modern, optimised operations”.
