Hird Sales recently had the pleasure of delivering a brand-new Oil & Steel Octoplus 21 tracked spider boom to the team at CJ Luff Ltd, specialist tree surgeons. Despite the typical UK weather, the team’s enthusiasm for their new equipment was clear, and with good reason.
The Octoplus 21 boasts a maximum working height of 20.7 metres and a maximum outreach of 10.6 metres, while maintaining a remarkably narrow 785 mm width in tracking mode, ideal for accessing confined or challenging sites common in tree surgery tasks.
CJ Luff’s new Octoplus platform includes a variety of customisable features that support both safety and productivity:
- Self-levelling functionality for stable operation on uneven terrain
- Adjustable tracks for navigating tight spaces
- Homing and wall climbing features for precision positioning
- Fly jib for extended reach and flexibility
- Remote control charger located conveniently in the basket
- Onboard water, air, and USB supply in the basket for operator ease
- Dual power options with diesel engine and mains-powered motor
This combination of working height and outreach, compact footprint, and versatility makes the Octoplus 21 a smart investment for tree surgeons and facility maintenance teams alike looking to enhance operational safety and efficiency.
