The HT16 RTJ O/PRO smart telescopic range by Haulotte works up to 16 meters in height

The latest addition to the RTJ range is an outdoor telescopic boom designed forversatile applications: heavy construction, finishing, maintenance, sports and other events. It perfectly combines efficiency with excellent all-terrain ability. Incorporating Haulotte safety standards and latest innovations, the new telescopic boom provides a  dual platform capacity along with 4-wheel steering and is ideal for work up to 16 meters (46 feet) high

Outstanding productivity and excellent all-terrain capabilities 

Designed for working in challenging environments and tackling the most demanding projects, the HT16 RTJ O/PRO (HT46 RTJ O/PRO in North America) shares the same design and performance characteristics as the other models in the Haulotte RTJ range.

The new RTJ machine has the best outreach on the market and offers a weight capacity of 250 kg (550 lb). For applications requiring heavy equipment, the dual-load option increases the basket load capacity to 350 kg (770 lb). Haulotte’s new telescopic boom elevates the operator to the work area quickly (less than 1 minute to full height) thanks to quick and simultaneous movements associated with a 360° turret rotation.

The mechanical axle drive allows for the use of a smaller, simpler engine (24hp/18.5 kW) while maintaining the same performances as other RTJ booms. Thanks to the smaller engine, the telescopic boom eliminates the need for a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). In STAGE V regulated countries, there is also no requirement to use a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

Ergonomics, Superior agility and maneuverability on all terrains

The HT16 RTJ O/PRO telescopic boom is a reliable machine combining robust design with ergonomic controls and integrating Haulotte’s exclusive innovations: Activ’Lighting System and Activ’Shield Bar for optimal safety, easily climbs over obstacles and slopes up to 45%.

The operator controlled locking rear differential allows maximum traction in the most difficult rough terrain situations. Proportional controls guarantee smooth operation and precise movements on the way up to the work area. The new telescopic boom operates anywhere, even on the roughest terrain. It is the only machine of its category featuring 4-wheel steering.

In the production of this machine, Haulotte, as always, has relied on the best suppliers on the market, for better working performance but also to ensure a low level of corrosion: the ergonomic control box with joysticks enabling proportional commands offers improved driving comfort, ensitive elements such as the steering cylinders, jib and cable channel are protected to avoid damage, all components requiring regular maintenance are easily accessible, making maintenance operations and damaged parts replacement simple and less time-consuming. Hose routing is designed to prevent friction and leaks.

Exclusive innovations to work in complete safety

To allow workers to work even in low light conditions, HT16 RTJ O / PRO is equipped with a high-performance lighting system located along the telescopic boom, thanks to the Haulotte Activ’Lighting System. It also provides guidance to the machine in the event of an injury or environmental crushing injury: in an entrapment situation, the operator is pushed towards the bar and the machine stops automatically. The safety gap provides a clearance for the operator.

The Haulotte Activ’Shield Bar system, integrated into the control panel provides more informations about machine configuration, information on machine functions, and preventive maintenance recommendations. The advanced diagnostic program saves time and money and maximizes machine uptime.

Haulotte tries to produce machines with the lowest possible emissions. Thanks to the Haulotte Stop Emission System, the machine switches off automatically after a 90-second period of inactivity. This avoids overheating of the engine but is also a great contribution to the environment. The start and stop system is automatic, so when you press the deadman pedal the engine restarts immediately. Fuel savings of 20% are estimated, as well as a strong reduction in pollution and noise disturbance.
