Böcker AG presents transport system for solar-cell modules and brandnew lift Junior HD 24K at Intersolar 2009

Werne (ots) - Intersolar is considered as one of the world's most
important tradeshows for solar technology and has become an integral
part of Böcker's schedule of trade fairs. Again in 2009 the company,
based in Werne/Westphalia, will present the Toplift ECO and the HD
Junior in Munich. These two lifts have been designed to make the
assembly of solar-cell modules safer and more efficient.

The Toplift ECO is a well-proven and sturdy ladder lift which is
particularly cost-efficient and the ideal lift for beginners. All
ladder elements are made of light-weight aluminium and can be
connected easily up to a maximum lifting height of 20 meters.
Moreover a manually adjustable knee joint is available for the
Toplift ECO so that the installation of solar power plants on pitched
roof becomes even more convenient. The efficient drive unit
accelerates the carriage up to 25 m/min while the simple
cable-operated electric control is extremely user-friendly and
convenient.

Lifting heights up to 24 metres and maximum load-bearing
capacities of 250 kg make clear that the trailer based lifts of the
Junior series are the more powerful alternative to the efficient
Toplift ECO. The hydraulically-operated construction lift is
assembled in no time and reaches lifting speeds up to 48 m/min.
Operations are accelerated considerably and the assembly of
solar-cell modules becomes noticeably more efficient. The models of
the Junior series are equally available with a manually adjustable
knee joint. In addition to that Böcker presents on this year's
Intersolar the brand-new construction lift Junior HD 24 K with an
integrated, mechanically adjustable knee joint. Particularly when
frequently installing solar power plants on pitched roofs, the new HD
24 K safes time. All Junior models are characterised by extremely
compact dimensions which can be reduced additionally by the
retractable axle and tow bar. As a result, the Junior fits even
through a standard-sized door and thanks to the minimum required
space there a suitable place of operation in virtually any situation.

For both lifts, Böcker offers a closed transport system which
consists of a solar platform and a solar module fitting platform. The
solar platform is attached to the carriage of the Toplift ECO or the
HD Junior respectively. Due to the clamping device the solar-cell
modules are safely stored on the platform and cannot move or fall
down. And in order to protect the sensitive panels from damage by
vibrations during the transport, all surfaces are gum-covered.

The Böcker solar module fitting platform SMV 150 is used for the
transport of the solar panels on the roof. This platform is hooked in
the assembly rails of the solar-cell modules so that no other
assembly works on the roof have to be carried out. So a direct
transport to the place of installation is conveniently possible.
Being adjustable in length and having a load-bearing capacity of 150
kg, the Böcker SMV 150 can be easily adapted to different sizes of
solar-cell modules.

All in all the Böcker transport system is an ideal solution for
the installation of solar-cell modules. Transport is clearly
accelerated, operations become more efficient and safety for people
and material is improved drastically.
