Terex Hi-Ranger LT40 · compact insulated EWP hire

For the jobs the big towers
simply cannot get to.

A Class 5 chassis with an insulated fibreglass boom, ANSI Category C — the machine we send when access is the problem, not height. 13.8 metres up, 8.1 across. We always have one ready to go, usually within a week, with a replacement behind it.

Small truck, real reach

Plenty of jobs are not beaten by height. They are beaten by a narrow driveway, a low gateway, a court that a twenty-four metre truck simply cannot turn in.

The LT40 sits on a Class 5 chassis, which is a genuinely small truck by the standards of this fleet, and still gives 13.8 metres of working height and 8.1 metres of side reach — nine metres once it is on its outriggers.

The boom is filament-wound fibreglass, which is what makes it both light and insulating, and it carries a Category C rating under ANSI A92.2. Controls are single-handed from the basket.

Reach and working envelope

Exactly where it will and will not get to

Every job comes down to one question: will it reach? This is Terex’s own engineering envelope for the LT40. The axes are in feet, with metres in brackets.

The three keys map straight onto the specification table below. B is the working height, 45.6 ft (13.8 m). A is the bottom of the platform, 40.6 ft (12.4 m). C is the horizontal reach — 26.6 ft (8.1 m) on rubber at a full 400 lb basket, out to 29.4 ft (9.0 m) once it is on outriggers.

Note how far the envelope drops below ground level on the right-hand side. That is the part people forget to ask about, and it is what lets this machine work down a batter, over a retaining wall or into a gully.

Rotation is continuous and unrestricted, so the envelope you see here applies right around the truck.

An insulated boom on a truck that fits

The reason a compact machine like this is worth having is that the insulation does not get smaller with the truck.

The LT40’s boom is filament-wound fibreglass rather than steel with an insert — the insulating property is in the structure itself. Terex rate it Category C under ANSI A92.2.

Because that is an American standard rather than the Australian one, tell us what you are working near and we will tell you plainly whether this is the right machine for it or whether you want one of the AS 1418.10 towers instead. That is a question worth asking before the truck arrives, not after.

It is tested and certified on the same six-monthly cycle as everything else we own.

Specification

This is the manufacturer’s standard product information for this model. We run more than one vehicle against most of these specifications and individual trucks can differ slightly from build to build, so please treat these figures as a guide rather than a quote.

Terex’s published figures from the LT40 specification sheet, revision 03/26. Terex prints no kV rating against the model; the 46 kV figure above is Terex’s own definition of ANSI Category C, not an LT40 specification. Hydraulic pressure, flow and boom speeds are not published. Ask us and we will confirm this one off its plate.

The full specification, as a document

Everything above, plus the rest of the fleet and how the hire works — laid out as a spec sheet you can send on to whoever needs it.

What you are actually hiring

Anybody can quote you a small truck. What decides whether a compact machine is worth having is whether it turns up certified, stays working, and gets replaced the day it does not.

We know which jobs beat a big truck

We run towers from 12.8 to 23.5 metres and we run them on our own jobs, so we have a fairly good idea of when the big machine is going to spend the morning trying to get through a gate.

Describe the site and we will tell you honestly whether the LT40 is the answer or whether you are giving up reach you are going to need. Sending the wrong machine costs us more than it costs you.

A small machine on the same schedule as the big ones

Compact does not mean lightly maintained. This truck is inspected every three months, electrically tested every six, load tested every twelve, and fully recertified on the same cycle as the twenty-four metre machine.

It also carries the same replacement arrangement. If it comes away from you, another tower goes out.

Not sure this is the right machine?

Tell us what is stopping the big truck — the gate, the turning circle, the clearance. That is what decides whether this is the machine or whether you are giving up reach you will need.

Ring and you will get an honest read on whether eight metres of side reach covers your job. It often does. When it does not, we will say so.

50

Years Combined Experience

Properly maintained. Always replaced. Guaranteed.

Every insulated tower we hire is serviced and certified in our own workshop, and the small ones are held to exactly the same standard as the big ones.

Our insulated fleet runs from 12.8 to 23.5 metres, and the LT40 sits at the compact end of it — the machine for sites the others cannot get onto.

Because we run these on our own jobs, we know which sites those are before you describe them.

How the hire works

Tell us about the access rather than the height. On this machine that is almost always the deciding factor.

01.

Tell us what is stopping the big truck

Gate width, turning circle, overhead clearance, ground conditions. Those are the numbers that make this machine the right call rather than the height.

02.

We check the reach against your job

Eight metres of side reach is a real constraint and we would rather find that out on the phone than have you find it out with the truck on your driveway.

03.

It arrives ready to work

Serviced, certified and driven to site. Because it is a smaller truck, it is often the quickest machine in the fleet to get to you.

You always get a replacement tower.

If this machine has to come away from you, another tower goes out. Where access is the reason you chose it, we will tell you honestly whether the replacement will fit the same gap — and if it will not, what we can do instead.

How a compact tower stays a serious one

The fibreglass boom is the reason this machine works near power, and fibreglass is exactly the component that suffers if maintenance gets casual.

Ours is inspected every three months with the covers off, electrically tested every six, load tested annually, and stripped and recertified by an engineer at ten years and every five after. Fibreglass repairs are done in-house.

Small truck, same standard.
