With the continuous improvement of operational standards in fields such as building renovation, municipal maintenance, and landscaping, the 12m Cherry Picker has become an essential piece of equipment. It not only compensates for the inefficiency of traditional scaffolding but also solves the pain point of limited operating range for small lifting equipment. The development of the CATHAY 12m Cherry Picker is based on a deep understanding of industry needs and technological innovation.
From an industry perspective, a 12m operating height is the optimal range: it can cover the exterior wall construction of most commercial buildings and billboard installation (typical building heights are 3-4m, 12m can meet the needs of 3-4 floors), and it is also suitable for scenarios such as municipal road street light maintenance and the pruning of tall trees in landscaping. However, many similar products on the market suffer from pain points such as "insufficient stability, complex operation, and poor adaptability": some equipment cannot operate on slightly uneven ground, novices require extensive training to master, and malfunctions are prone to occur in extreme weather conditions-all of which are key factors restricting construction efficiency.
Addressing these pain points, the core technology design of the CATHAY 12m Cherry Picker directly tackles the core issues. For the support system, we employ four independent hydraulic telescopic outriggers, coupled with intelligent level sensing technology, enabling rapid adjustment of the machine's balance. This allows for stable operation even on surfaces with an inclination of ≤5°, solving the support challenges in complex terrain. The power system offers both diesel and battery options. The diesel version is suitable for long-term continuous outdoor operation, with a runtime of over 8 hours, while the battery version meets the requirements for noiseless and zero-emission indoor operation, balancing environmental protection and efficiency requirements in different scenarios. Furthermore, the equipment's precision hydraulic drive system ensures smooth, jerky lifting and rotation movements. The work platform has a maximum load capacity of 200kg, supporting two workers simultaneously carrying tools, significantly improving the efficiency of a single operation.
Regarding the expansion of applicable scenarios, we adhere to the concept of "full-scenario adaptability." Designed for narrow working spaces in building renovations, CATHAY 12m Cherry Picker features a compact body with a minimum turning radius of only 3.2m, allowing it to maneuver flexibly through narrow streets in urban CBDs or indoor workshops. For outdoor operations in municipal engineering, the equipment is equipped with a waterproof and dustproof control panel and a high-strength steel body, capable of withstanding complex climates such as high temperatures and heavy rain, with a failure rate far below the industry average. In garden pruning scenarios, the 360° rotating work platform allows construction workers to cover the entire working area without moving the machine, reducing the number of times the equipment needs to be adjusted.
Safety is the core bottom line for aerial work platforms, and it's also the top priority in our product design. CATHAY 12m Cherry Picker features triple safety protection: First, the torque limiter monitors the working load in real time, triggering an alarm and locking the operation immediately if the rated weight is exceeded; second, the platform is equipped with fall arrest guardrails and an emergency stop button, allowing for rapid power cut-off in emergencies; third, the entire machine has passed international safety certifications such as ISO and CE, and key components are sourced from well-known brand suppliers, eliminating potential safety hazards at the source. As a product manager, I firmly believe that "good aerial work platforms should not only be easy for users to use, but also give them peace of mind."
Every technical detail of the CATHAY 12m Cherry Picker embodies the concept of "efficient construction and safe operation." In the future, we will continue to iterate our technology to provide more industry partners with better high-altitude operation solutions.
