the ATJ Range, articulated diesel range,

8.95m and overall weight 8100kg the
160 ATJ+ operates in rough terrain

Instant Access has a long history
of involvement in Sydney’s major
infrastructure projects and will utilise
the Manitou 160ATJ+ on a major tunnel
construction project.
“The 400kg capacity is set to boost the

and less risks involved in carrying out the
daily tasks underground,” Stephen Fraser,
CEO of Instant Access, said.
“As a specialist access solutions provider,
a key part of our growth strategy is to
add complimentary products to our
EWP range and we see this as a great
opportunity to partner with Manitou on
this key infrastructure project.”
Richard Green, General Manager –
Access Hire Division, said: “We are
proud of our ability to specialise and
tailor our product offering to meet the
customer’s specific needs. The Manitou
160ATJ+ is ideally suited to these major
infrastructure projects and being able to
supply a unique product like this to our
clients is very exciting.”
Instant Access is a provider of access
When activated, the SkyGuard
system stops all functions in use, then
temporarily reverses most functions
that were in use when the system was
activated. This reverse functionality is
the only feature of its kind in the market,
Corey Raymo, Category Director – Global
Booms said.
“Making the SkyGuard system standard
on our booms is a big step forward for
JLG and a real game changer for the
access industry,” Corey said.
“The issue of operator safety is the
number one priority for us at JLG and
the driver behind many of our product
innovations, which is why we feel it’s
so important to offer SkyGuard to our
customers as standard equipment,
included in the price of the machine.”

JLG Industries has made the SkyGuard enhanced control
panel protection system standard across the JLG portfolio
of boom lifts.
In mid-July, Manitou Australia
organised a special event to
celebrate and show its support to
the Manitou Group Elevation Week.
The concept was simple: collect as
many clothing items as possible and
fill a Manitou bucket in one day. In only
a couple of hours, the challenge was
already completed.
200kg of clothing items: jeans, t-shirts,
coats and shoes were collected from
MAU Staff and even from Dial A Dump
Industries (DADI) which is one of the
leading waste management service
providers in New South Wales.
The 200kg of clothing was then
delivered to the local St Vincent De
Paul Charity Association in Sydney; an
Australian association with more than
40,000 members and volunteers, who
assist people in need and combat social
injustice across Australia.
LiftRite Hire & Sales, an Australian
Manitou Dealer, also organised its own
Manitou Fill A Bucket day at its local
head office in Perth,Western Australia.
LiftRite’s initiative was very successful,
filling a whole bucket as well.
