As utility networks expand and vegetation management requirements become increasingly demanding, contractors face growing pressure to work more safely, efficiently, and reliably. From maintaining clearance around power lines to accessing difficult terrain in rural and urban environments, today's Utility Vegetation Management (UVM) professionals need equipment that is purpose-built for the job.
To address these challenges, Goman has developed a new insulated articulated aerial lift specifically designed for utility vegetation management applications--Goman All-terrain Tracked Cab Insulated Boom Lift Vehicle U17.
Combining a rugged tracked chassis, an insulated articulated boom, and a fully insulated work platform, this innovative machine delivers safe access to heights of up to 17 meters while maintaining exceptional mobility and stability in challenging environments.
Built on a Rugged Tracked Chassis
Vegetation management crews often work far from paved roads. Soft ground, muddy access routes, steep slopes, and uneven terrain can quickly limit the effectiveness of traditional truck-mounted or wheeled aerial lifts.
The new Goman Tracked Insulated Boom Lift Vehicle is built on a heavy-duty tracked chassis inspired by the durability and stability of crawler equipment. Its robust undercarriage provides excellent traction and low ground pressure, allowing operators to travel across terrain that would be difficult or impossible for conventional access equipment.
Whether working along utility corridors, in forested areas, or beside rural distribution lines, the machine offers reliable mobility where it is needed most.
Complete Visibility for Safer Operation
Safe machine positioning is critical in utility vegetation management operations.
To enhance operator awareness, Goman has incorporated a clear control cabinet on the chassis that provides broad visibility of the chassis from all four sides. Operators can easily monitor outrigger positioning, machine clearance, and surrounding obstacles during setup and operation.
This improved visibility helps reduce blind spots, increases situational awareness, and contributes to safer jobsite management.
For contractors working in congested urban environments or near critical utility infrastructure, this feature can provide an important operational advantage.
Insulated Boom and Bucket for Utility Applications
One of the most important requirements in utility vegetation management is maintaining safety when working near energized power lines.
Goman Insulated Lifts incorporate an insulated articulated boom together with an insulated bucket platform, providing an additional layer of protection for qualified personnel performing vegetation maintenance activities near electrical infrastructure.
The articulated boom configuration allows operators to maneuver around branches, utility poles, transformers, and other obstacles with greater flexibility than straight-boom alternatives.
With a working height of 17 meters, crews can safely access elevated work zones while maintaining precise positioning for pruning and vegetation clearance tasks.
Utility Vegetation Management professionals encounter a unique combination of operational challenges:
* Limited access locations
* Uneven and unstable terrain
* Dense vegetation
* Proximity to electrical infrastructure
* Strict safety requirements
* Pressure to maximize daily productivity
The Goman insulated articulated aerial lift has been engineered with these realities in mind.
Its combination of tracked mobility, insulated access capability, articulated reach, and operator-focused design creates a machine that can help crews complete more work with greater confidence and efficiency.
For utility contractors and vegetation management service providers, the machine offers several key advantages:
Improved Access
Reach locations inaccessible to conventional truck-mounted equipment.
Enhanced Safety
Insulated boom and bucket construction support safer operations around utility infrastructure when used according to applicable regulations and safe work procedures.
Increased Productivity
Quick positioning and flexible boom articulation help crews reach target work areas more efficiently.
Reduced Ground Impact
Tracked travel system distributes weight more evenly, minimizing ground disturbance in sensitive environments.
Lower Transportation Requirements
Compared with larger truck-mounted units, the compact design can simplify transportation and deployment.
Across North America, Europe, Australia and other regions, utilities continue to invest heavily in vegetation management programs to improve network reliability, reduce outage risks, and mitigate wildfire threats.
As these demands continue to grow, contractors require equipment that delivers a combination of safety, performance, and versatility.
Goman's new 17m All-terrain Tracked Cab Insulated Boom Lift Vehicle U17 has been developed to meet those needs—providing utility vegetation management professionals with a powerful tool for working safely and efficiently in the most challenging environments.
For contractors seeking a practical alternative to traditional access solutions, Goman is ready to help power the next generation of utility vegetation management.
