L55R HiReach

BUILT FOR STABILITY, SMOOTH CONTROL, AND DECADES OF PERFORMANCE

The Elliott L55R HiReach became a dependable mid-height aerial trusted by sign, lighting, and public works crews for its smooth boom control, generous reach, and durable build. Its precise three-section boom and hydraulic self-leveling, rotating two-man platform made overhead work comfortable and accurate, while the DynaSmooth control system provided responsive, fine-tuned handling. Though no longer in production, the L55R remains in service across the country—proof of Elliott’s long-lasting engineering and support.

HYDRAULIC CHAIN-FREE BOOM DESIGN

Engineered with a smooth, chain-free hydraulic boom system, this design eliminates many of the wear components found in traditional boom mechanisms. The result is quieter, more reliable extension and retraction, reduced long-term maintenance, and consistently stable movement, ideal for crews who rely on precise positioning day after day.

DYNASMOOTH UPPER PLATFORM CONTROLS

Featuring Elliott’s advanced DynaSmooth control system, operators benefit from a foot-enabled safety switch and a selectable hi/lo joystick range for finely tuned adjustments. These responsive controls allow for delicate positioning near signs, lighting fixtures, and sensitive infrastructure, enabling confident, precise operation at any height.

UNRESTRICTED SIDE-REACH ENVELOPE

Designed to maximize work area coverage, this model offers an unrestricted side-reach envelope within its chart capacity limits. Operators can take full advantage of the boom’s horizontal movement without unnecessary limitations, enabling faster job completion, less repositioning, and greater flexibility across complex or spread-out job sites.

OVERSIZED TURRET AND BEARING SYSTEM

A robust turret paired with an enlarged bearing system provides exceptional stability, smoother rotation, and long-term durability. This heavy-duty foundation ensures the unit performs reliably under daily commercial use, whether working along roadways, industrial sites, or elevated maintenance applications.

OPTIONAL MAIN BOOM WINCH

For enhanced lifting capability, the optional main boom winch delivers powerful material-handling performance with or without the work platform attached. This flexibility allows crews to hoist signs, lighting equipment, and structural components directly from the boom, reducing the need for additional lifting devices and streamlining field operations.

OFFICE IN THE SKY® EXTERNAL CABLE CARRIER SYSTEM

Elliott’s innovative external cable carrier system brings power, air, and essential tools directly to the platform, supporting everything from drills and welders to testing devices. This built-in utility pathway improves efficiency at height and enables operators to complete more tasks without descending for additional equipment.

WARRANTY-BACKED PERFORMANCE

Backed by a one-year parts and labor warranty and a lifetime structural warranty, this model offers exceptional long-term confidence and investment protection. Operators benefit from Elliott’s industry-leading support, ensuring reliable performance throughout the equipment’s service life.

OUR FAQs

What makes the L55R ideal for high-reach applications?

The L55R delivers a 58 ft working height and 51 ft side reach with a smooth, three-section hydraulic boom that offers precise “point-and-shoot” control. Its stable, self-leveling, rotating platform provides reliable overhead access, making it an excellent choice for sign installation, lighting maintenance, and public works applications.

Does the L55R support both personnel and material lifting?

Yes. The L55R can be equipped with an optional 5,900 lb main boom winch, allowing operators to lift materials directly from the boom with or without the work platform attached. Combined with its 500 lb platform capacity, the unit supports both personnel access and material-handling needs on the same jobsite.

Can the L55R be operated in tight or congested areas?

Absolutely. Built as a mid-height aerial with a compact overall design and efficient outrigger setup, the L55R works well in roadside environments, parking lots, sign corridors, and municipal streets. Its unrestricted side-reach envelope allows operators to cover more area with fewer truck movements, ideal for limited-space environments.

What safety standards does the L55R meet?
The L55R is fully ANSI A92.2 compliant and constructed with a robust hydraulic, chain-free boom, oversized turret, and heavy-duty bearing system for long-term stability and safe operation. It also includes Elliott’s DynaSmooth upper controls for predictable boom movement and is backed by a one-year parts and labor warranty plus a lifetime structural warranty.
