5 December 2022UPTO: France Elévateur’s new range

A great moment in the life of any manufacturing company. The birth of a new generation of products, more efficient and less energy-consuming. We are therefore pleased to present UPTO, a new range of aerial work platforms on light commercial vehicles and chassis cabs. This is the result of our many years of experience and the use of mechatronic devices that optimise the technical performance and energy efficiency of the entire construction process and the final product.

UPTO range: what are its features?

The UPTO generation is the result of intensive work by our R&D department. At France Élévateur, our goal is to offer you ever more qualitative products. We therefore worked on reducing the weight of the structure and the energy consumption of the control system.

Several models from 11 to 18m on van and chassis cab will make up the UPTO range. 30% lighter, they will facilitate the transport of materials and reduce fuel consumption. To the same end, the innovative control system technology uses 20% less electrical energy.

You will also find driving assistance, such as automatic stabiliser or Home Function.

We’ve also paid particular attention to ergonomics and safety. For example, through lowered basket access thresholds and a completely redesigned control box.

On some models, the arm joint is particularly well thought out and easy to handle. The fly jib has a 180° articulation. The dual-movement control can also be operated without loss of speed.

To limit carbon emissions, we thought of including electric versions. An Eco Pack is therefore available for each model.
