DESCRIPTION

The JLG K13 is of the parallel linkage vertical boom design, mounted on a road
towable trailer. The unique yet very simple boom configuration gives the maximum
safety and controllability combined with a robust construction to withstand a heavy
working environment.

The K13 machine is designed for two-man capacity (200 kg S.W.L.)

The machine incorporates a bottom boom with tie rod, a short vertical boom and a top
boom with tie rod. The K13 also has an independent hydraulically operated flick-out
boom for extra manoeuvrability.

The hydraulic system is of a failsafe design throughout, with built in hydraulic lock
valves on all the rams as a precaution against hose failure. The machine is controlled
by means of proportional manual control valves of the direct hand lever operation
type.

Emergency lower valves are fitted as standard to allow the machines to be lowered
from either the platform or the base. There is also a base control valve fitted as
standard, repeating all the functions of the basket control valve.

The outriggers are fitted with interlocks, to prevent the booms being raised without
the outriggers being extended. A simple system of warning lights show the power is
on and each of the outriggers is under load.

The K13 meets or exceeds the applicable requirements of AS1418.10 as originally
manufactured for the intended applications and use.
