The vehicle is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine of 2,953 cm³. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and a kerb weight of 3,325 kg, only 175 kg of payload remains, since most of the weight goes into the work platform itself. Vehicle length is 6,490 mm on a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, with a width of 2,200 mm and six wheels.
Six wheels on a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg point to twin tyres on the rear axle, used on vehicles with a heavy body close to the weight limit for better load distribution. Such a low payload of 175 kg is typical of work-platform vehicles, since the boom, basket and hydraulics alone already take up a considerable share of the gross vehicle weight.
When buying such an aerial work platform used, besides the usual check of engine and brakes, the condition of the hydraulic system, boom joints and the basket's safety devices matters most, and these must be inspected regularly by a competent examiner. Corrosion at the chassis-to-body connection, which is particularly stressed by the heavy body weight, is an important check point. Parts for the work platform itself are usually only available through Isoli or its distribution partners.
