XCMG GKS40A Truck-Mounted Telescopic Boom Lift

Overview

The XCMG GKS40A is a truck-mounted telescopic aerial work platform (伸缩臂高空作业车) offering a 40 m maximum working height and 26.5 m maximum outreach on a Foton truck chassis. It is designed for high-reach and obstacle-crossing work such as building maintenance, construction and municipal tasks, with full 360° slewing over the outrigger footprint.

Key Features

Manufacturer-stated highlights (official product page; the original list skips item 2):

• 1.65 m fly boom (jib) with luffing range of −106° to +30° — up-and-over obstacle clearance plus smooth, safe short-range positioning.
• Load grading of 120 / 260 / 400 kg — max. outreach 26.5 m with a corresponding working height of 27.8 m for a wide working envelope.
• Full slewing at all outreach levels with equally extended outriggers — simple and safe operation.
• 7-section synchronous telescoping boom with large-section profiled construction — deflection reduced by 20% for precise, efficient work.
• Two-stage telescoping outriggers — load and outreach automatically matched; works flexibly in confined sites.
• Intelligent basket levelling for a stable platform; smart throttle control cuts fuel consumption by 20%.
• IoT platform for real-time fleet and vehicle status monitoring.
• Wireless/wired remote control, radiator and electro-hydraulic auto-levelling system.
• External slewing mechanism — easier routine maintenance and servicing.

Intended applications: high-reach aerial work and obstacle-crossing work.
