Innovative equipment He says the Vision name was also chosen to convey the idea of in-cab visibility. “To increase visibility further, a reinforced gridless roof certified to ROPS/FOPS level 2, is available as an option for closely monitoring loading operations at height.” The pressurised cab on all Vision and Vision+ models provides a healthy working environment and additional sound insulation for greater operator comfort. Another innovation is an optional driving remote control for controlling the machine from the basket or for when the operator is outside the machine. As a result, it is possible to move it safely without having to return to the driver’s cab. A hydraulic pump is fitted on all the new models. With a hydraulic flow of 116 l per minute, the Vision range ensures an execution speed 50% quicker for simultaneous boom movements. The improvement provides a 30% quicker execution speed on the 2260 and 2660 models in the Vision+ range, which are equipped with a pump that delivers a flow rate of 185 l /min. The new Stage V engine, which provides power of between 156 and 211 hp depending on the model, also helps to reduce consumption on these models. “The lifting capacities and load charts have been significantly improved, most notably the capacity at maximum height, improved by up to 100% and, at maximum reach, by up to 25%,” says Razzoli. He says the weight of these machines has been reduced by more than 5% while benefiting from an increase in their load capacity of up to 15%. Safety and ergonomics A pack of five LED headlamps ensures full lighting around the machine. Two additional boom head work-lights provide good visibility during loading operations at height. A rear camera which sends images to the cab allows the machine to be manoeuvred with confidence. Four accesses built into the chassis enable the operator to climb into and out of the machine regardless of the cab’s rotation. The new 8” vertical touchscreen on the Vision range and available in a 12,1” XXL version on the Vision+ range, provides a human-machine interface. Both ranges also feature hydrostatic transmission offering greater driving flexibility and giving the operator a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The latest addition to the Vision+ range, the MRT 3570, allows the operator to carry out handling operations of up to 35 m. For increased visibility at this height, the group has introduced a new electric seat that tilts

or big-bags with optimum visibility. They are lighter and more robust, and are fitted with a fork locking system. Winch, jib and crane performance is enhanced by a winch equipped with a new hydraulic motor suited to the new MRTs. With a capacity ranging from 600 kg to 2 t, they meet the requirements of the new MRT range perfectly.

A new 100% aluminium platform is now available across the whole Vision+ range. Weighing just 180 kg for a loading capacity of 365 kg, the PSE 4200/365 is lighter than the previous range, allowing a greater outreach. “The new attachments are designed based on customer feedback, to help them optimise their operations,” says Razzoli.
