Shacman 18m insulated bucket truck
18m Telescopic Aerial Work Platform Truck
This aerial work platform truck is designed for safe, flexible, and efficient lifting operations in municipal maintenance, electric power line work, communications, and facility services. The telescopic boom structure provides smooth height positioning and stable operation in complex work environments.
Stable and Efficient Telescopic Boom Structure
The lifting mechanism uses a telescopic straight boom with three high-strength steel sections and an insulated FRP working section. This design ensures excellent rigidity, precise boom extension, and reliable operational stability at height.
Working Height and Reach Performance
With a maximum vertical working height of 18 meters and platform height of 16.3 meters, the truck meets most urban and industrial maintenance needs. The maximum horizontal reach of 12 meters at 10-meter working height expands operational flexibility in confined or roadside spaces.
Safe and Comfortable Operator Platform
The insulated work platform features a 1,800 × 800 mm interior size, with a durable fiberglass shell and polyethylene liner. The platform supports up to 250 kg and allows ±90° rotation with automatic leveling to maintain operator comfort and safety while working at height.
Insulation for Live-Line Electrical Work
The upper boom section and platform offer ANSI A92.2 Class B insulation capability, enabling 46 kV live-line operation. This ensures electrical safety when working on distribution lines, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Reliable Outrigger Stabilization
The vehicle is equipped with front V-type and rear H-type hydraulic outriggers, forming a stable support footprint of 4.1 × 3.8 meters. This ensures secure and stable operation on varied terrain conditions.
Smooth and Precise Control System
Electro-hydraulic proportional control valves provide smooth boom operation and precise movement adjustment. The hydraulic system pressure range of 16–25 MPa with 25–30 L/min flow ensures sufficient power for continuous duty cycles.
Economical and Reliable Chassis Platform
The unit is built on the Shacman SX1040DD6331 chassis with a 4×2 drive configuration. It is powered by the YN Power D20TCIF11 engine (93 kW) paired with a WLY 6-speed transmission. The compact 3,300 mm wheelbase allows excellent urban maneuverability, while the cabin provides comfortable single-driver operation.
Applications
Ideal for power utilities, municipal engineering, construction maintenance, street lighting, communications installation, landscaping, and industrial facilities.
