National Crane has announced a new Rapid Attach Platform for its NBT boom truck series previously unveiled at Crane Days 2018. The completely redesigned platform will replace previous iterations and comes in two styles: yoke style (Y-RAP2) and rotating style (R-RAP2). The yoke style is available now and the rotating style will be available this year.<p></p><p>(The creation of the new Rapid Attach Platform was brought about by Voice of the Customer feedback, part of The Manitowoc Way,÷ said Bob Ritter, Engineering Manager for Boom Trucks. </p><p>The two-person, steel, non-insulated, yoke-style platform is extremely efficient to attach thanks to its one-pin system and innovative self-centring boom nose adapter. The new platform was also designed for more demanding jobsites and can attach at ª15 degrees. It retains a weight limit of 1,200 lb for the basket and 500 lb for the jib.</p><p>The new platform is perfect for aerial work with many of the NBT series machines due to the design including two industry-leading, utility-focused features: a pressure intensifier option and a remote-control docking station direct from the factory, according to the company.</p>
