A feature allowing all 4 wheels to be utilised for steering, drastically improving the manoeuvrability of the machine in environments where space is limited. The operator can easily cycle between steering modes from the cab.
Self Levelling Stabilisers
Self-levelling stabilisers can be deployed when the machine is stationary to provide additional stability and enhance the machine's lifting capacity.
Heating/Air Conditioning
The air conditioning option helps to automatically create a climate of constant well-being in the passenger compartment, even in the event of direct sunlight or very high or very low external temperatures. For this purpose the temperature, the intensity of the ventilation and the air distribution are regulated by sensors according to the settings and continuously adapted to the current conditions. Integrated dehumidification effectively prevents fogging of the crystals.
Rear-Mounted Camera
Video camera installed on the rear of the machine to increase visibility and thereby safety when manoeuvring. Thanks to the monitor in the cab it is possible to check any blind spot.
Additional Cameras
Kit composed of n.4 ball cameras with extremely robust case in polycarbonate for hard-to-reach areas outside the vehicle. Alignable on all sides. Camera images are displayed on the touch screen monitor in the cab, dividing the video into four equal sections.
