Haulotte, the European leader of people and material lifting equipment, reveals two new electric articulating booms: SIGMA 46 and SIGMA 46 PRO.
As a genuine culmination of the group’s know-how, the new models incorporate Haulotte’s exclusive innovations and high-quality standards.
They combine excellent performance with a high level of serviceability, and meet all requirements for working at heights up to 46 ft platform height. Versatile, the latest additions to the Haulotte family are designed for many indoor and even outdoor applications, such as industrial maintenance, finishing, renovation, cutting-edge industry or events. The boom of your dreams becomes reality.
Your best productivity ally
The SIGMA 46 electric articulating booms offer the best in class working envelope on the market. With their high up & over clearance and excellent outreach, it is easy to overcome all obstacles to reach the most remote work areas.
The jib with horizontal rotation ensures precise and safe approach without repositioning the machine. This additional movement flexibility enables operators to save precious time with maneuvers and access areas that are not accessible with a regular jib.
SIGMA 46 booms answer the industry’s expectation in terms of efficiency thanks to its two simultaneous movements and its ultra-fast elevation speed (90 seconds to full height). Some applications require the use of multiple equipment. SIGMA 46 models can carry up to 500 lb of load and 2 operators without envelope restriction for maximum performance.
SIGMA 46 operates indoors as well as outdoors, on all types of stabilized slab floors, thanks to its wide, solid, and notched tires and its high ground clearance (7 in). The homogeneous tilt (4° no matter the boom orientation) makes it easy the reach the work zone without machine repositioning and time lost.
Agility in all situations
SIGMA 46 models are perfect to work in confined spaces. They operate without any risk of damaging the surrounding environment as the turret stays within the chassis footprint while rotating. Thanks to a compact footprint and narrow turning radius, operators can easily maneuver in the tightest spaces.
SIGMA 46 fulfils all the criteria ensuring both driving and positioning precision. Asynchronous motors and proportional controls ensure smooth and fluid movements. The ergonomic control box is like the one used in Haulotte RTJ range for familiar and quick handling. Finally, the architecture of the machine also allows a perfectly vertical elevation of the arm.
Increased comfort and safety
SIGMA 46 booms can be equiped with both a front and lateral door for easy entry and a robust tool tray providing a large storage capacity. Driving safety is improved with the centered boom arm. For better safety and stability, the driving speed automatically adjusts during turns and on slopes.
The exclusive anti-entrapment system Haulotte Activ’Shield Bar is available on the SIGMA 46 models. In case of entrapment, the operator is pushed towards the bar integrated into the upper box cover, and the machine stops automatically. The Safety Gap allows a large clearance, preventing driver entrapment.
The integrated, high performance, Haulotte Activ’Lighting System, supports safe maneuvers, especially in low light conditions. Ten low energy consumption LED spotlights perfectly light up the machine controls and surrounding areas for easy loading and unloading operations.
- Primary front, under-basket and rear ground projectors;
- Side and platform lightings;
- Anti-glare control box lighting;
- Lower control panel illumination.
Particular attention paid to battery care
Available on SIGMA 46 models, the Haulotte Activ’Energy Management solution reduces the Total Cost of Ownership by optimizing the batteries’ performance and lifespan. The integrated smart charger adapts the charging curve and integrates specific cycles dedicated to battery maintenance. To simplify maintenance and ensure an optimal battery health, customers can opt for a centralized waterfilling system.
To optimize power consumption and ensure the machine can handle daily work requirements, SIGMA 46 models feature gravity platform lowering and a precise charge indicator on the upper control box.
A service-oriented design
Equipment uptime is essential, that’s why SIGMA 46 reflects Haulotte’s high quality standards. Haulotte chose to separate the electric and hydraulic elements to easily perform maintenance. Hose routing has been carefully engineered to avoid the risks of friction and leakage. Known for their performance and reliability, AC motors do not require any regular maintenance.
Featuring reinforced hoods with wide openings, SIGMA 46 offers direct access to components, reducing downtimes. The whole machine has been subjected to rigorous endurance testing to guarantee their robustness.
Powerful diagnostic solutions
The Haulotte Activ’Screen interface helps users with daily maintenance operations. This onboard diagnostic tool givesaccess to machine settingsand displays detailed troubleshooting procedures on a large screen.. Technicians can access the same features on their mobile devices using the Haulotte Diag app.
Connected to the machine’s CAN bus architecture, the SHERPAL module decodes the data transmitted by the various components on the machine. The Haulotte telematics solution* provides accurate data to perform remote diagnostics, optimize technicians call-outs, adopt best “energy” practices, and at a high level, make the right decisions at the right time.
