New CMC 65L tracked aerial lift is perfect for indoor adventures

CMC North America’s new, electric 65L tracked aerial lift is perfect for working indoors, lifting two workers and 500 lbs. of material to heights of over 65 feet – previously unheard of reach for a unit this size.

Officially capable of lifting a maximum weight of 507 lbs. to a maximum working height of 65 feet (hence, 65L) and maximum lateral reach of 34 feet, CMC says its new 65L is an ideal solution for both indoor and outdoor maintenance crews.

To deliver on that promise, CMC says operators can leverage fully 90 degrees of rotation for its two-man basket, as well as 180 degrees of turret rotation. Articulation that, when combined with the 65L’s narrow track that lets it go through a 36″ man door, will enable operators to access even the trickiest work areas.

The new 65L lift is also relatively light weight. Coming in at “just” 6,569 lbs., CMC says its 65L can safely operate on delicate flooring surfaces such as finished hardwood, tile, or marble – making it ideal for work within museums, schools, or shopping centers. The company also says the remarkably low PSI exerted by the 65L also reduces potential damage to landscaping or other ground surfaces when compared to heavier options.

CMC 65L specs

• Max. working height: 65’4”
• Max. lateral reach: 34’
• Max. basket load capacity: 507 lbs.
• Basket rotation: +/-90° (optional)
• Turret Rotation: +/-180° (360° non-continuous)
• Total weight: 6,569 lbs.

Eletrek’s Take

While work like this in shopping malls and hospitals isn’t on the same level as the Bobcat E10e doing historical excavation at St. Jerome’s, it’s still a great example of electrification finding new places to do work in where diesel or LPG aren’t welcome. An aerial lift like the 65L or smaller electric spider crane means crews can work indoors without polluting the space, and without disturbing the way people live and work while it’s on the job.

Electric is the way.
