Swift 206

The evolution of the SWIFT product increases its usability for a wider variety of trimming tasks. The SWIFT206 IS the quickest lift to the work and the most maneuverable. The pivoting platform now requires fewer lift movements speeding up the trimming of a tree or hedge. New SWIFT product features design improvements and product enhancements for serviceability, structural strength, reduced weight, lower operating cost, expanded operating capabilities and increased safety.

The SWIFT206 is available with either standard or pivoting platform arrangements. Each exceeds ANSI Safety Requirements and DOT Regulations.

Lifts include structurally enhanced frame and boom using replaceable, self-aligning bushings for boom and platform pins to strengthen support for a ‘platform pivoted’ operator located at the edge of the lift profile.

An aluminum enclosure includes separate insulated engine compartment and isolated hydraulic/electric compartment to isolate heat and provide easier access for serviceability. The aluminum fuel tank has twice the usable fuel capacity of prior lifts for all day operation. A larger capacity, baffled aluminum hydraulic reservoir with cleanout and suction strainer controls oil quality.

A more efficient hydraulic system dramatically reduces hydraulic system temperature. The aluminum platform reduces weight and features integrated tow lights and tool tray (standard platform) or tool hangers (pivoting platform).

Transit speed and gradeability are increased, positioning speed is automatically reduced with a raised boom and the safety warning system is automatically activated.

The EFI (electronic fuel injected) engine speed is automatically controlled by the joystick to reduce noise, reduce heat, reduce fuel consumption (approx 20%) and increase starting reliability from the platform. A more durable drive system is manufactured with and supported by parts made in the USA reducing foreign made part inconsistencies.

Feature Spotlight: Pivoting Platform

The pivoting platform requires fewer lift movements for tree trimming allowing more tree coverage from any platform position. Drive continuously without repositioning the lift. Face trim hedges up to 30′ and top hedges to 26’6″ and 6′ width with standard tools. Extension tools will complete facing taller hedges and topping greater widths. Tool hangers are configured to hold extensions tools and removable platform extensions can allow longer extension tool use if needed. The ‘no jack or stabilizer’ operating capabilities of the standard platform SWIFT206 are retained with a pivoting platform version placing the operator up to the edge of the lift profile in either driving direction. Platform egress is possible from either side depending on pivot direction. Lift joystick and engine controls are identical for standard and pivoting platforms reinforcing operator effectiveness for either version. The platform pivot can be changed at any time, in any boom position with a pivot control switch. The platform pivots around the joystick controls maintaining constant joystick direction operability regardless of platform position.
