GK FLEXIBLE TRAILER PLATFORM FOR PARTICULARLY LIGHTWEIGHT DEPLOYMENT TA SERIES IDEAL FOR 3.5 T/7716 LBS TOTAL WEIGHT A total weight of just 1230 kg / 2712 lbs and optimal trailer characteristics the GK platform can be transported effortlessly by car and can be set up anywhere with minimal ground pressure. The 4-joint design gives optimal platform manoeuvrability and is very flexible to use. The sturdy construction and user-friendly technology ensure maximum working safety. What s more, the directhydraulic proportional control system results in jolt-free movements and extremely comfortable working. Particularly light and yet extremely stable through the use of high-quality materials these are the key features of the telescopic lifting platforms in the TA series. The small stabiliser spreads make it possible to work in the tightest spaces. Thanks to their simple operation and high reliability the TA platforms can supremely handle all types of duty and, mounted on light carrier vehicles of 3.5 t / 7716 lbs total weight, are the ideal units for rental firms.

TKA SERIES SPECIALLY FOR THE MUNICIPAL SECTOR The movable jib makes these platforms the perfect units for handling more-difficult tasks. Their short total length ensures excellent manoeuvrability. The use of self-centering telescopic profiles and the virtually maintenance-free sliding bearings increase the cost-efficiency of the platform enormously. As a result of the robust construction and excellent geometry TKA platforms are particularly well suited to deployment in the municipal sector.

STRONG ARGUMENTS SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY BISON sets the standards and delivers convincing arguments! The developments, some of which are patent-protected, have only one aim: To make BISON customers more successful in their work. Ultra-modern control technology Greatest-possible working convenience and long service life the top-grade hydraulic system and high-performance computer control unit match the platform s movements optimally to any situation. Crank-operated turntable (KS) Slewing within the width of the vehicle this advantage is only achievable with the patented crank-operated turntable. Preventing the need for blocking off opposite carriageways and problem-free deployment in the tightest spaces are unmatched advantages of the KS series. Internally routed drive system and hydraulics All the drive chains, flyer chains, cables and also the telescopic cylinder are accommodated inside the telescope and are thus protected against damage and the effects of the weather. Maximum lateral outreach BISON platforms offer the biggest lateral outreaches! This is thanks to its perfect lightweight construction and the use of the highest material quality as well as the skills of our engineers. Simple operation Full concentration is required to successfully carry out the jobs at hand! The platform is extremely easy to control from the basket by means of a sensitive electrohydraulic proportional control unit. Extra-compact total length thanks to crank-operated turntable Excellent manoeuvrability in all job deployments the crank-operated turntable reduces the vehicle length of a BISON KS lifting platform to a minimum. Hydraulic system Speedy servicing work is facilitated by the easily accessible and clearly arranged DANFOSS control system. Variable outrigger system The maximum working range is always available even if the outriggers cannot be completely extended owing to restricted space conditions, because the intelligent control system always ensures the greatest-possible working area. All four outriggers can be individually positioned. Automatic setup levelling Greatest-possible safety and gentle treatment of the unit on any terrain this is achieved particularly conveniently thanks to the automatic setup levelling system. The short setup time, which is hardly achievable by hand, saves time which you can use for doing other jobs. 12/13
EFFICIENT AND FLEXIBLE YOUR RELIABLE PARTNER Telescopes The inclined arrangement of the sliding bearings results in a self-centering effect of the telescopes and reduces lateral play to a minimum. Toolbox Generously dimensioned and easily accessible stowage spaces for material and tools are perfectly integrated. Automatic arresting device The automatic basket arresting device removes the need to closely observe the movements of the lifting boom, jib and telescope when moving the lifting platform in and out of the basic position.
