FAW 4x2 18m Folding Boom Aerial Work Truck 4.5t Blue-Plate Stainless Basket Cherry Picker for Municipal Maintenance

A 4,495 kg blue-plate chassis, an 18-metre folding boom and a stainless steel basket built to survive city work. This FAW aerial truck is sized for municipal crews that need reach without a heavy-truck registration, and for contractors who want one compact unit for lighting, signage and tree care.

Compact chassis, full-size reach

The 4,495 kg gross vehicle weight keeps this FAW 4x2 inside the light-truck class used in many export markets. A 3,300 mm wheelbase and a single cab make it easy to position on narrow service roads, while the folding boom delivers an 18 m working height and a 16 m platform height.

The multi-section folding boom folds into a compact transport envelope, so the truck can travel between jobs without an escort in most jurisdictions. Continuous 360-degree rotation lets the operator work over a footpath, a wall or a parked row of cars without moving the chassis.

Stainless basket and daily safety

The basket is fabricated in stainless steel with a mesh floor and side rails, a specification that suits humid coastal cities and wash-down fleets. It carries two persons at a rated 200 kg and self-levels through the boom arc.

Four H-type hydraulic outriggers spread the load and level the truck on sloped verges. The outrigger circuit is interlocked with the boom; hydraulic locks hold every cylinder if a hose fails; and an emergency descent system brings the basket down under manual control.

Where this truck earns its keep

Street-light replacement, traffic-sign installation, tree pruning, facade cleaning, CCTV and telecom maintenance all sit inside the 18 m envelope. The folding boom is particularly useful where the truck cannot park directly under the work point, because the knuckle can reach over an obstacle.

For municipal fleets, the light chassis reduces road-tax and licence friction, and the stainless basket cuts repainting. For rental fleets, the compact footprint and simple five-speed manual keep operator training short.

Export configuration

Left-hand drive is standard, right-hand drive optional. The export package includes the GB announcement, boom test certificate, operation manual and spare-parts book. Paint colour, basket branding and additional work lights can be specified before production.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Is this truck a 40-metre unit?

No. The photographs show a 4,495 kg light chassis with a folding boom; the real working height is 18 m. A 40 m platform requires a much heavier chassis and is a different product class.

What licence does the chassis require?

The 4,495 kg gross weight places it in the light-truck class in most markets; confirm the local licence category with your registration authority.

How many people fit in the basket?

Two persons at a rated 200 kg, with a stainless steel floor and side rails.

Can the boom reach over an obstacle?

Yes. The folding knuckle allows the upper arm to work over walls, parked cars and low structures.
