At the Bauma China exhibition in Shanghai, Sinoboom introduced innovative steering technology for its boom lifts, aimed at improving maneuverability in confined spaces and challenging terrain.
The new system features four-wheel independent motors, each capable of delivering positive and negative torque, allowing for precise autonomous driving and braking. This design significantly enhances the equipment’s ability to navigate complex worksites efficiently.
Operators can select between two advanced steering modes. The “Tank Turn” mode allows the boom lift to execute full 360 degree rotations, leveraging its four-wheel independent control system.
Combined with precise boom movement functions, this mode increases flexibility in restricted spaces. Meanwhile, the Simulated Four-wheel Steering mode offers the performance of traditional four-wheel steering at the cost of two-wheel steering. This ensures smooth and precise operation on high-traction surfaces like concrete and gravel.
“With construction sites becoming ever more complex, our customers’ needs for machines that have the flexibility to move around them easily is growing steadily. This technology allows operators to move the boom lift to the ideal workspace more easily, and therefore complete their tasks more quickly, with the result that work overall is more efficient," Peter Peng, head of Sinoboom’s Product Planning Department said.
"This is a clear benefit for contractors and fleet managers alike,” Peter Peng, head of Sinoboom’s Product Planning Department, highlighted the advantages.”
Currently available on the electric-powered AB16EJ Plus articulating boom lift, Sinoboom plans to extend this advanced technology to additional models in the future.
