DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The UpRight TL37 is of the parallel linkage vertical boom design, mounted on
either a road towable trailer, or on industrial bogie chassis . The unique yet very
simple boom configuration gives the maximum safety and control ability combined
with a robust construction to withstand a heavy working environment.
The TL37 machine is designed for two man capacity with 215 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 TL37 has also an independent hydraulically operated
Flick-Out Boom and Rotating Cage for extra manoeuvrability.
The hydraulic system is of a fail-safe 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 lever operated valves. These valves are
located at both the base and in the cage, as standard.
Emergency lower valves are fitted as standard to allow the machine to be lowered
from the Base. Additionally, a hand pump is fitted in the cage for emergency
operation.
The hydraulically operated outriggers are fitted with load sensing interlocks, to
prevent the booms being raised without the outriggers being extended and under
load. An interlock prevents the hydraulic outriggers being accidentally retracted
while the booms are raised. A simple system of warning lights show the power is
on and each of the outriggers is under load.

or forces: the manufacturer, UpRight, must be consulted for approval of
special applications prior to use.
6. DO NOT use the
machine close to
live electrical
conductors. The
minimum safe
working distance
for a machine
working near
overhead power
cables is the
maximum
extended length of
the booms plus 15
metres, measured
with the booms
pointing towards
the lines, i.e. safe
working distance for the TL37 is 20 metres. It is the operator‘s responsibility
to ensure that, when working in the vicinity of live overhead high-voltage
lines, the minimum safe working distance is maintained. Erect a simple
barrier tape at the safe distance.
