All-Hydraulic Controls

Two telescopic booms that have been sold under the Scanlift brand in North America — the 72-foot SL240 and 54-foot SL190 — have been redesigned with fully hydraulic platform controls and outriggers. Kubota diesels power both machines, and standard equipment includes four-wheel drive and four-wheel steer. Turntables allow continuous 360-degree rotation. Hydraulic outriggers level the machines automatically.

Number of models - Telescopic booms: 2

New models - Telescopic booms: SL190 and SL240

Product-line features: Finnish manufacturer Kesla marketed Scanlift platforms for 14 years. But the brand was not properly protected, so Kesla's two booms have been marketed in Europe as the XS Series under the Kesla name.
