Sinoboom Unveils New Boom Lift Steering Technology for Tight Spaces and Diverse Terrain
At the recent Bauma China exhibition in Shanghai, Sinoboom showcased new boom lift steering technology designed to enhance maneuverability in tight spaces and on a variety of terrain. Each of the lift’s four wheels is controlled by an independent motor capable of positive and negative torque output, enabling autonomous driving and braking of each wheel. Maneuvering the equipment around tight angles and through narrow spaces is enhanced, making travel around complex worksites more efficient. |
