Swift 380

When higher reach is necessary with the convenience of a highway speed towable, light weight lift for use on turf the SWIFT380 is your answer. Strong, durable and turn-in-its-own length maneuverability for use in tree trimming, painting and roof cleaning, power washing and sign and light maintenance.

The multi-section boom with ~360 degree base rotation positions the operator’s feet at 38′ on the worst possible (10 degree) slope, up to 40′ on level ground or to 19.6′ side reach beyond the lift centerline. Quick Reach feature allows use of the upper boom only (without base rotation) up to approx 20′ without use of the stabilizers for quick access. Base rotation requirements require use of the SWIFT Set-up single button self-leveling stabilizers to level and raise the lift for operation.

Swift Lift 380+ valves controlled from the platform with manual overrides
Swift 380+ Retractable Axles either powered or manually operated

Swift Lift 380+ Kohler 18HP engine enclosure

Lifts feature a stiff steel tube frame spine supporting the drive end, enclosure, centrally located stabilizer mount, base rotation boom and platform end axle. The main frame acts as the hydraulic fluid reservoir simplifying hosing runs throughout the lift.

The enclosure includes separate insulated engine compartment and isolated hydraulic/electric compartment to reduce heat and provide easier access for serviceability. Platform controls operate all lift functions. Ground controls duplicate all boom and stabilizer functions and can be used for setup/service or operator override for an incapacitated operator. Ground controls do not include the drive/steer functions. All lift hydraulic function controls include manual overrides.

The EFI (electronic fuel injected) engine assures reliable starting from Start/ESTOP pushbuttons in the platform or key switch operation at the Main Control Panel. Engine speed is automatically controlled by platform joystick or ground control Enable function. EFI engine control reduces noise, reduces heat and reduces fuel consumption (approx 20%).

The multi-section boom uses non-greaseable, high strength nylon pin bushings. Cylinders include counterbalance holding valves. Joystick positioning controls can activate multiple cylinders simultaneously by operator choice to speed boom operation. Quick reach feature allows Upper Boom stick operation to approx 20’ without deploying the stabilizers. When needed SWIFT set-up, self-leveling stabilizers deploy individually, each sense ground contact and raise and level the lift frame at operator direction. With raised boom the system alerts the operator if a stabilizer has lost firm contact on soft ground, stops boom operation and allows resetting that stabilizer while maintaining boom position without lowering.

The operator’s aluminum platform is lightweight, includes a integral tool tray and optional 120VAC GFCI outlet and/or pressure washer connections connected to inputs at the main frame. Operator’s platform controls include dual axis joystick for either drive or boom functions based on mode selection, stabilizer extend/retract pushbuttons, engine start/ESTOP pushbuttons and Upper/Lower Boom override pushbuttons to alter joystick boom reactions.

  • Towable & Self-Propelled

    Drop and stow the ZERO tongue weight tow bar. Engage the durable, tandem chain drive at the simple multi-pin plate disconnect. Drive, Stabilizer and Boom operations from the platform.

    Self-propelled with or without stabilizers without boom rotation.

    Quick Reach allows drive function while raising Upper Boom use to 21’ without stabilizers

  • Swift Setup

    Single button control of stabilizers feature ground sensing and self-leveling on slopes up to 10 degrees for level frame boom use. Provides resetting individual stabilizers reacting to soft ground while boom is raised.

  • Retractable Axles

    Allows reducing the machine width to 4′ while maintain drive functions for narrow access (manual or hydraulic powered options)

  • Platform Details

    All aluminum construction reduces weight. Isolated handrail protects operator’s hands. Tool tray for tool convenience. Single Joystick control. Pushbutton stabilizer control and EFI engine start/ESTOP.

  • Joystick Control

    Mode selection for single joystick operation allows either drive functions of FWD/REV direction, speed, acceleration/deceleration, steer and drive speed range or boom functions for upper and lower boom arms, base rotation and jib operation. Boom stick speeds operation, raise/lower and EFI engine throttle activation on ENABLE.

  • Aluminum Enclosure Details

    Full volume 11 gallon fuel tank with flameproof, vented safety cap, removable covers for service access to insulated engine compartment and hydraulic/electric compartment.

Feature Spotlight: Swift Setup

SWIFT Setup single pushbutton control deploys the self-levelling stabilizers. Each stabilizer stops at ground contact and waits until all stabilizers are firmly anchored. Stabilizers act collectively to raise and level the lift to an elevation preferred by the operator or until uneven ground conditions would prevent a level frame to allow the boom to be raised. The stabilizers manage slopes up to 10 degrees for level frame boom use. With the boom raised in operation the system alerts the operator if a stabilizer has lost firm contact on soft ground, stops boom operation for safety and awaits the operator to reanchor the ‘unset’ stabilizer using the single pushbutton while maintaining boom position without lowering.
