CONVENTION GUIDE

Following a complete re-design
Haulotte’s HT23RTJ’s performance is
beyond expectations and outshines its
competition.
It’s the safest and most efficient
67
foot straight stick boom with a
capacity of 450kg.
A smooth machine, the ride up is steady
and boom bounce is absent. Performance is
excellent, twice as fast to reach full height
with a lift speed 1 min quicker than the
competition.
The HT23 RTJ will be on display at the
Hire and Rental Show – Stand 122
