The SuperMod modular suspended platform system is designed for strength and safety. A modular approach with maximium flexibility ensures that there is always a stage configuration available that will suit the application. On straight platforms, lengths of up to 48 feet, 9 inches are possible, with longer configurations using a hinge section and three hoists. Section lengths of 1/2, one, two and three metres let users build a platform to suit their needs. Cantilever platforms come in lengths of up to 62 feet, three inches with walk-through stirrups. Maximum separation for the stirrups is 48 feet, nine inches. Maximum cantilever is two meters beyond the stirrups. Corner platforms with 30-, 45-, 60- and 90-degree angles can be built with SuperMod using the hinged corner frame, drop-in truss, floor and handrail frame set. With the hinge section and four stirrups, it is possible to build a platform that will surround three sides of a structure. Even circular platforms can be achieved using three walk-through stirrups and eight 45-degree corner sections. SuperMod is built in North America for North American conditions with stronger trusses and stronger connectors make a smooth-riding, long-lasting platform.
Steel U-frames provide a rigid frame and steel stirrups have the strength to take jobsite conditions. Steel has 1/3 the flex of aluminum, providing a more rigid, better-riding platform.
The aluminum trusses weigh about the same as European trusses, but the toeboard is two inches shorter. The extra material is used in the bottom chord, making it extra thick. Add-ons include platform hinge sections; oversized stirrups for larger body casing hoists; bumper rollers; swivel casters; adjustable incline rollers and incline stirrups for working on sloped surfaces; and manual wire winders.

JLG has introduced its expanded range of high-capacity HC3 boom lifts. Available now are the 400S, 460SJ, 600S, 660SJ and 860SJ HC3 models, while the 450AJ, 600AJ, 800AJ and 800S HC3 booms are set to roll off production lines in the coming months. HC3 boom lifts offer an expanded work envelope and three capacity zones for greater reach than competitive models offering one or two capacity zones. In fact, HC3 models are rated for three occupants with tools in all three zones. The boom lifts include the 40-foot platform 400S HC3 model and the 46-foot platform 460SJ HC3 model, while the 600 Series HC3 models consist of the 600AJ HC3 and 600S HC3, each delivering a 60-foot platform height, and the 660SJ, which boasts a 66-foot platform height. Meanwhile, the 800 Series HC3 booms include the 80-foot-platform-height 800AJ HC3 and 800S HC3, and the 86-foot 860SJ HC3. All models offer 750- and 1,000-pound restricted capacity zones. The 400 Series, 600 Series and 800AJ models also offer a 660-pound unrestricted capacity zone, while the 800S and 860SJ have a 500-pound unrestricted capacity zones. An innovative load-sensing system from JLG limits operation of a machine when the platform is overloaded, automatically keeping operation within the allowable work envelope. The zero-calibration system on all HC3 models eliminates the need to use external weights to calibrate the lift. This saves time and effort, while increasing productivity. New LED displays improve visibility of the platform and ground consoles during operation. The displays sense ambient light conditions and adjust brightness accordingly, helping maximize visibility and operator comfort. Additionally, an innovative chassis tilt alarm alerts the operator when the machine is on a slope that exceeds five degrees. While the new HC3 boom lifts are heavier than their standard model counterparts, they retain the same footprint for ease of transport and use in comparable work environments.
