Benefits and Uses of Palazzani Lifts

April 13, 2022

Compact tracked lifts are similar to standard boom lifts, except they feature four legs or outriggers that extend from the base to serve as supports. These legs create an insect-like appearance, which is how this type of lift got the nickname “spider lift.”

At Wellbuilt Equipment Inc., we rent, service and sell a wide variety of aerial lifts, including spider lifts from Italian manufacturer Palazzani. In this post, we’ll explain what sets Palazzani’s spider lifts apart from other comparable machines. We’ll also discuss typical applications for spider lifts to provide some insight into what makes these machines so powerful in real situations.

TZX 730

Weighing in at just 5,500 pounds, the TZX 730 from Palazzani is lightweight but mighty. Its maximum outreach is 33 feet with a maximum working height of 73 feet, which gives it unrivaled performance capabilities when compared to other machines in its price and size range. Plus, it has a minimum width of only 3.3 feet, so it can effortlessly slip into narrow spaces.

Here are just a few of the qualities that make the TZX 730 an excellent choice for your projects:

  • Radio control: The TZX 730 comes with wireless remote control, making operation easy both inside and outside the basket.
  • Smooth driving: The non-marking track drive system on the TSX 730 enables you to drive over any surface, including delicate floors, with precise movements. You can work both inside and out without risking the ground’s conditions.
  • Small footprint: The aluminum boom construction allows the machine to be incredibly lightweight while still allowing for total outreach, enabling you to work in any size space.
  • Unrivaled control: The individually rotating two-position outriggers allow for quick setup in confined areas, while the machine’s articulated arms with double telescopic extensions allow for maximum aerial agility.
  • Intuitive operation: The TZX 730’s controls are simple and easy to learn, so even new operators will be able to get to work quickly and safely.
  • Unparalleled stability: The TZX 730 has a maximum lift capacity of 440 pounds. The basket is incredibly stable, so you can perform your work without that uncomfortable floating feeling you might get on similar lifts.

The TZX 730 is currently available for sale from Wellbuilt Equipment Inc., so feel free to reach out with any questions.

TSJ 82

The TSJ 82 spider platform lift from Palazzani is slightly larger than the TZX 730 at just over 8,700 pounds, but it’s still small and compact compared to many similar machines.

Key features of the TSJ 82 include:

  • Long reach: The TSJ 82’s single-arm telescopic boom with articulated jib gives the machine an impressive maximum outreach of 59 feet and a working height of 82 feet. It also provides an unmatched 44 feet of side reach at a height of 40 feet, setting it apart from other spider lifts in its size category.
  • Impressive agility: With its articulated jib, the TSJ 82 is able to rotate 660 degrees at any placement and any height without any tail swing.
  • Touchscreen technology: The TSJ 82’s innovative touchscreen terminal makes operation a cinch. The touchscreen prompts walk you through machine and outrigger setup, while the included diagnostic tool provides an easy way to monitor the health of all the lift systems with only a few taps.
  • Easy operation: Like the TSX 730, the TSJ 82 comes with a wireless remote so you can control it from anywhere within range. The basket comes equipped with two joysticks that control all the machine’s movements. Plus, the machine has QR code labels that link directly to instructional videos — any time someone needs a refresher, they can just scan the label.
  • In-basket power: The basket is fully equipped with air, water and electric capabilities, allowing you to complete various tasks like pressure washing and painting while in the air.
  • Simple maintenance: The TSJ 82 is especially easy for mechanics to work on because all the lift’s internal systems are accessible from one point.
  • Durability: With a 550-pound lift capacity and booms constructed from high-strength STRENX steel, the TSJ 82’s in-air stability is dependable for even the most demanding jobs. Valuable components like the hose are strategically placed inside the boom, which protects them from harm and keeps your equipment working longer.

If you’ve been thinking of introducing a spider lift into your fleet, consider renting the TSJ 82. You can try out the machine on your own worksite before you buy, which is advantageous for those who are new to spider lifts. We also offer the TSJ 82 for sale, so feel free to contact us with questions.
