JINAN, China – Shandong Cathay Machinery Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer of high-performance crawler spider boom lifts, has received highly positive feedback from a British client David Harrison, who recently took delivery of the CTA-18TC Spider Platform Lift. The new unit has been officially put into regular operation for facility maintenance, exterior renovation and tree care projects across southern England. After weeks of field tests and daily use, David Harrison shared his genuine experience and high recognition of the CATHAYLIFT product quality, performance and overall value.
David Harrison runs a well-established local access and property maintenance company based in Brighton, UK. His team mainly undertakes aerial work for historic buildings, commercial venues, residential communities and landscape maintenance. After extensive market research, parameter comparison and communication with multiple suppliers, David finally chose the CATHAYLIFT CTA-18TC crawler spider boom lift, attracted by its compact structure, all-terrain adaptability, diverse power options and complete safety configurations.
"The CTA-18TC Spider Platform Lifthas completely exceeded my expectations since the day it arrived," David Harrison commented. "First of all, its compact body design is a game-changer for our daily work. The machine can easily pass through narrow passages that most large aerial platforms cannot reach, which perfectly matches the complex working environment of old buildings and dense communities in the UK. Equipped with high-quality rubber crawler tracks, it travels smoothly on lawns, cobblestone roads and uneven ground without damaging the ground surface, so we no longer need to lay extra protective plates before operation." He added that the built-in hydraulic outriggers with one-button automatic self-leveling system work extremely well. Even on sloped sites, the four outriggers can quickly adjust to keep the whole machine balanced, bringing solid stability during high-altitude operations.
In terms of power and working performance, David spoke highly of the flexible power configuration he selected. "We picked the DC battery power version for most indoor and urban residential jobs. It runs quietly with zero exhaust emissions, which is friendly to the surrounding environment and residents. The 18-metre working height and reasonable working radius fully cover all our routine maintenance tasks. The 227kg load capacity allows one operator to carry tools, spare parts and auxiliary equipment to the working platform at one time, avoiding frequent up-and-down movements." The 359° continuous rotating turntable also won praise from his team. The flexible boom movement enables precise positioning, making fine operations such as wall repair, lamp replacement and branch trimming much easier and more accurate.
Operation and safety are always the top priorities for aerial work teams in the UK, which has strict construction safety regulations. David mentioned that the dual control system of the CTA-18TC is very user-friendly. The ground LCD touch panel supports multiple languages and displays real-time machine data, while the platform control console and wireless remote control allow operators to flexibly switch control modes. "All our workers can get familiar with the operation within a short time. What impresses us most is the comprehensive safety protection devices," he said. "The emergency lowering valve, anti-dropping device, explosion-proof valves and tilt angle protection system are all fully equipped. Once the body tilts over 3 degrees, the machine will automatically lock the lifting function. With a wind resistance level up to Grade 5, we feel fully secure no matter working indoors or outdoors." As a CE-certified product complying with EU machinery standards, the CTA-18TC also smoothly passed the local equipment inspection in the UK.
"We are delighted to receive such positive feedback from Mr. Harrison," said the sales director of Shandong Cathay Machinery Co., Ltd. "Every client's recognition is the biggest motivation for us to keep improving. CATHAYLIFT will continue to adhere to high-standard production, optimize product performance and upgrade comprehensive services. We will keep launching more practical, safe and efficient aerial work equipment to serve global clients and create greater value for the aerial access industry."
