UTEM UVN35A Features and Benefits

A telescoping boom unit designed to mount on vans of at least 9500 lb. GVWR. Providing enclosed storage and excellent maneuverability.

Feature: Strong in Structure, Light in Weight
Benefit: Capable of mounting on a 9500 lb. GVWR van providing 34 feet 2 inch working height and up to 23 feet 4 inch side reach on a very maneuverable van, increasing productivity.

Feature: Telescoping Boom Assembly
Benefit: Provides direct point and shoot access to work and easy ground access to the basket.

Feature: Pedestal Houses Hydraulic Oil Reservoir with Sight Gauge, Oil Filter and Electrical Components
Benefit: Protected from damage yet easy to access for maintenance and service, reducing the end user cost.

Feature: Unique Bridge Mount Pedestal
Benefit: The bridge mount pedestal, a unique SkyVan feature, maintains the center of the body floor unobstructed and available for storage. Access from the front seats can also be provided.

Feature: Joystick Boom Control with Enable Control
Benefit: One hand control of all boom movements even with the enable control.

Feature: Upper Controls Mounted Beside the Platform not on the Boom
Benefit: Controls are stationary relative to the operator as opposed to being located on the boom where the position of the controls changes with boom elevation.

Feature: 10 Micron Return Filter and 100 Mesh Suction Line Screen
Benefit: Constant cleaning and filtering of hydraulic oil protects hydraulic components.

Feature:Integral Holding Valves on Extension and Boom Cylinders
Benefit: Lock cylinders in position in the unlikely event of a hose or fitting failure. Integral holding valves eliminate manifold leakage and are less susceptible to damage.

Feature: Unloader Valve
Benefit: Integral to the main control valve, the unloader valve diverts hydraulic oil away from boom control solenoid valves, preventing uncontrolled movement in the event a control valve fails to return to the neutral position.

Feature: Gravity Leveled Basket with Dampener
Benefit: Self-leveling of the basket with dampened motion while the boom is being positioned, affording safety and comfort for the operator.

Feature: Basket Caliper Brake System
Benefit: Operator can easily lock or release the basket brake under load to allow the basket to level, unlike locking pin assemblies, which can be difficult to release.

Feature: Zinc Plated Pivot Pins
Benefit: Prevents corrosion, reduces maintenance and costly downtime.

Feature: Infinitely Adjustable Outer Boom Wear Pads
Benefit: Easily adjusted or replaced without dismantling boom. No shims are required for adjustment.

Feature: Non-Tracking Insulation Gap on Insulated SkyVan Units.
Benefit: Thirty inches of non-tracking insulation is provided, eliminating wear and contamination on the fiberglass boom that will degrade the dielectric integrity.

Feature: Dual Holding Valves on Extension Cylinder
Benefit: Prevents the inner boom from drifting in or out from the stowed position.

Feature: 540* Non-Continuous Rotation with Mechanical Stop
Benefit: Provides a work envelope all the way around unit with no annoying "dead spots". It is much less complicated and requires less maintenance than continuous rotation or other non-continuous rotation systems with electrical limit switches or solenoid valves.

Feature: Shear-Ball Rotation Bearings
Benefit: Smoother rotation and long life resulting in lower maintenance and operating costs.

Feature: Hour-Glass Shaped Worm Engages Rotation Bearing
Benefit: Prevents free wheeling in the event of hydraulic failure. Distributes load over multiple teeth plus fewer moving parts providing long life and requiring less maintenance.

Feature: Exposed End of Worm Shaft is Hexagonal
Benefit: Allows for manual rotation in an emergency or for maintenance.

Feature: Control Cables and Hoses Routed Through Hose Carrier Inside Boom
Benefit: Eliminates damage to hoses and cables from contact with foreign obstacles causing expensive repairs and downtime.

Feature: Smooth Operation, Low Friction Components
Benefit: Reduces amp-hour requirements of batteries allowing up to fifty cycles even with the vehicle engine off with fully charged batteries.

Feature: Serviceable and Reliable Electrical Components
Benefit: Sealed electrical connectors and switches, plug-in relays and user-friendly controls provide for safe operation, less maintenance, and more trouble-free operation.

Feature: Numerous Options are Available
Benefit: Permits customization of an aerial lift to fit each specific customer’s needs. The most popular options are listed below:

• EH Hydraulics—Provides a 12VDC motor/pump to operate the aerial lift.  This configuration conserves fuel, reduces engine wear, reduces pollution and allows operation inside buildings.  The batteries are charges by the vehicle electrical system.
• DP Hydraulics—Provides for either a PTO or engine accessory belt driven hydraulic pump if the vehicle engine is running or a 12VDC motor/pump to operate the aerial lift.  This configurations provides the versatility and features of both HE and EH Hydraulics.
• Hydraulic Leveling—Provides for automatic leveling of the platform and a means to tilt the platform for clean-out or rescue with upper and lower controls.
• Proportional Upper Controls—Provide exceptional “feathering” of the boom controls.
• Emergency Lowering by Gravity (Emergency Descent)
• 12VDC Powered Emergency Lowering
• Hydraulic Tool Circuit (HE and DP Units Only)
• Electric Tool Circuit (Non-Insulated Units Only)
• Nitrogen/Air Line to Platform
• End Mounted Basket
• Manual Basket Rotator
• Splicing Basket
• Two-Speed Engine Throttle Control
• Basket Covers
• Adjustable Basket Seat
• Basket Heater
• Special Paint
• Round Rotating Splicing Basket
