Elliott Equipment Company, a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and material handling equipment headquartered out of Omaha, Nebraska, has delivered its new D47 digger derrick.
Per Elliot—who has been serving the utility, government, sign and lighting, energy, and transportation industries for over 75 years—the D47 is a high-performance digger derrick that is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding distribution applications.
The D47 has a class-leading 26,000-pound maximum lifting capacity, making it ideal for a wide range of lifting and material-handling tasks. It also has a 17- to 26-foot digging radius, making it capable of reaching even the most difficult-to-access areas.
Standard features, including 46 kV insulation, independent boom operation, transferable pole guide, line body, and rear-mounted hydraulic tool circuit, mean the D47 comes fully ready to work.
In addition to its powerful performance, the D47 is also equipped with several features that make it easy to operate and maintain. These features include full pressure, open center hydraulic controls, hydraulic side load protection, a premium planetary swing drive, a winch motor that is typically found on larger machines, and an ergonomic control console with a high-back air suspension seat for operator comfort.
The D47 is also backed by a lifetime structural warranty, which provides peace of mind to operators and owners.
"We are really excited to introduce the D47 digger derrick," said Jim Glazer, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Elliott Equipment Company. "This new product is designed with the operator in mind, and we believe it is the most user-friendly distribution digger derrick on the market today."
The D47 is available through Elliott Equipment Company and its rental partner, United Rentals, Inc. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, Untired Rentals is the largest equipment rental company in the world, with 1,487 rental locations in North America (in 49 states and all Canadian provinces), 14 in Europe, 23 in Australia, and 19 in New Zealand.

"We are excited to partner with Elliott and give our customers access to a new generation of digger derricks that help drive safety and productivity in the utility space."
