January 12, 2005—The Falcon FS121T track-based atrium lift, manufactured by ReachMaster, Kingwood, Texas, is ideal for outdoor rough-terrain applications, but it also can be used in indoor projects because of its compact size, low weight distribution for sensitive flooring, and its ability to climb stairs.

 

Technical features include a 115-foot platform height, 180° platform rotation, and an adjustable width between 3.9 and 4.9 feet. The FS121T also uses a 20-foot dual-link jib enabling it to reach up-and-over objects. It can be driven in a folded position from the basket, and transporting is easy because the machine can self-load onto a flatbed truck or trailer.

 

The unit's quad track has the ability to climb up to 35º, and the front and rear end can be adjusted vertically using a patented hydraulic system that allows the unit to climb up stairs or steep slopes. The outrigger system can be setup in multiple positions, and the automatic setting and leveling provides an optimal footprint in both even and uneven terrains.
