Telescopic Boom Lift

Telescopic boom lifts — new XCMG stock with straight-line outreach

Our stock includes 34 new XCMG telescopic boom lifts, running from compact 18 m machines up to the XGS58K for large-scale work. A telescopic boom is the right tool when the job is out as much as up: the arm extends in a straight line, so you reach over tanks, walls and structures instead of going around them, and you reposition the chassis far less often.

The XGS range in stock covers the XGS18ACK, XGS20ACK, XGS22ACK, XGS24ACK-Li, XGS28ACK-Li, XGS28ACKII-Li, XGS30ACK-Li, XGS32ACK-Li, XGS34ACK-Li, XGS40ACK-Li, XGS45ACK-Li and XGS58K. The units marked Li are battery-electric, which suits indoor industrial work and sites with noise or emission restrictions.

Choosing the right unit

• Height and outreach together. A machine that reaches your height may still not reach your working position. Check the outreach envelope at the height you will actually work from.
• Electric or diesel. Battery units run indoors and in enclosed plants; diesel units give unlimited shift duration and better rough-ground capability.
• Unrestricted platform capacity. The unrestricted capacity at full outreach is a different number from the maximum platform load. Specify on the unrestricted figure.
• Jib and platform rotation. A powered jib adds working flexibility at height for a small cost difference.
• Chassis width and weight for transport. Larger telescopic booms need specialist transport. Check axle loads and shipping height before you buy.

Export and support

Quoted FOB China or CIF to your destination port with the full export document pack, the technical file for customs and spare parts supply. Tell us the working height, the outreach you need and the surface you will work from and we will narrow the range for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a telescopic and an articulating boom lift?

A telescopic boom extends in a straight line, which gives longer horizontal reach and simpler controls. An articulating boom uses a jointed arm to reach up and over obstacles. Straight-line access favours telescopic; congested sites with overhead obstructions favour articulating.

Do the battery-electric models have enough working time for a full shift?

Working time depends on the duty cycle you run. Share your shift pattern and we will confirm the battery specification for the model you are considering.

Can a telescopic boom lift be used indoors?

Yes, but only an electric or battery machine should be run inside. Diesel units are for outdoor work because of the exhaust. The Li models in our stock are the ones to look at for indoor industrial maintenance.

What access do I need on site for delivery?

Large telescopic booms arrive on a low-loader and need hard standing and crane offloading. We confirm each unit’s shipping dimensions and weight in the offer so you can arrange site access in advance.
