When working at height, having the right equipment is critical for efficiency and safety too. Whether you’re in the construction or maintenance industry, tree lopping, or running industrial projects across Brisbane and the rest of Australia, a Socage truck-mounted platform is a solid choice for reaching high places.
At Altequip, as the exclusive Australian distributor of Socage products, we understand the precision, power, and reliability you need from your equipment. Today, we’ll guide you through all of our seven available Socage truck-mounted platforms to help you pick the best fit for your job.
ForSte 75TJJ for Ultimate Height and Versatility
- Best for: Industrial worksites, large-scale construction, and maintenance projects that demand height, precision, and versatility.
Need access to extreme heights? The ForSte 75TJJ is the perfect solution.
With an incredible working height of 75m and horizontal reach of 40m, this model is built for the most demanding tasks across construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects. Its 600kg load capacity can easily accommodate up to six operators and materials.
The key feature of 75TJJ is the dual-jib system for exceptional manoeuvrability, even in the most confined spaces. Thanks to its 700° turret rotation and optional hydraulic winch (up to 1500kg capacity), the 75TJJ doubles as a crane for lifting heavy loads.
Safety isn’t compromised, either. Its multi-zone stabilisation system adjusts to fit tight spaces, while the 7″ LCD screen shows all the necessary data for precise control. It’s also equipped with remote controls.
ForSte 54TJJ for Complex Tasks With Power
- Best for: Maintenance work, utility services, and mid-level construction projects where height and horizontal reach are key.
Compact but mighty, the ForSte 54TJJ offers a balanced mix of height, reach, and adaptability.
With a working height of 54m and horizontal reach of 40m, this platform is perfect for major urban operations or industrial maintenance where space is a limitation — powerline maintenance, window cleaning, telecommunications, etc…
Like the 75TJJ, it features a double-jib system, so operators can reach hard-to-reach areas without any problems. It also has a hydraulically extendable basket with a maximum 600kg capacity, plus an optional hydraulic winch.
This EWP also includes 700° turret rotation and multi-zone stabilisation to fit any terrain. The colourful LCD screen displays all the needed information with intuitive controls.
ForSte 14A for Off-Road
- Best for: Off-road maintenance projects, rural powerline inspections, and the telecommunications sector.
For lighter, more mobile jobs that still require impressive height, ForSte 14A is ideal.
It can be mounted on 4×4-vehicles like the Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, or Ford Ranger, so going off-road won’t be a problem. With a working height of 13.5m and horizontal reach of 10m, it’s perfect for projects in remote or tough-to-reach areas — rugged terrain, urban restrictions, etc…
Despite its smaller frame, the 14A still has a load capacity of 230kg, enough to carry two operators and tools for maintenance or inspection tasks. The platform can be customised as well, with accessories tailored to specific industries like telecommunications or energy.
With no rear overhang and optimised load distribution, the ForSte 14A is especially popular for fleet operations requiring compact, user-friendly EWPs.
ForSte 20T SPEED for Quick Setup and Efficiency
- Best for: Jobs that demand high productivity and frequent repositioning, like tree trimming, lighting installations, and roadwork projects.
Speed, stability, and functionality. The ForSte 20T SPEED is a high-performance boom lift truck for jobs that require frequent repositioning.
Its 19.6m working height and 12.5m horizontal reach meet the needs of tight urban areas or mid-range maintenance jobs. Thanks to automatic stabilisation from the 230kg basket, operators can set up quickly and start tasks immediately, saving time on-site.
What sets this EWP is the advanced slope positioning and Socage SPEED HE+H stabilisation system, so safety and productivity go hand-in-hand. Operators can stabilise the platform at the push of a button, even from the basket. Its vertical stabilisers are built for uneven or sloped terrains, making it perfect for roadworks.
On top of its excellent stabilisation, the ForSte 20T SPEED is also lightweight and customisable, with options like electric or hybrid power systems.
ForSte 35TJ for Power and Outstanding Reach
- Best for: Commercial construction, maintenance projects, and industrial plant operations.
The ForSte 35TJ is designed for tackling challenging jobs that require extended reach and heavy lifting.
With a 35m working height and an impressive 30m horizontal reach, this platform comes with a load capacity of 400 kg, allowing up to four people, plus materials.
It also has the hydraulic jib and 700° turret rotation found in other models but with an added bonus of a telescopic boom for even more manoeuvrability. The multi-zone stabilisation system makes it easier to work in tight or awkward spaces, while the optional hydraulic winch on the boom can lift up to 1000kg.
If safety and efficiency are the top priorities, the ForSte 35TJ is the perfect choice.
ForSte 37DJ Speed for Urban Precision and Mobility
- Best for: Signage installation, window cleaning, and roof repair in urban settings.
Adaptable and easy to manoeuvre, the ForSte 37DJ Speed is an excellent balance of mobility, productivity, and performance.
With a 37.3m working height and a 21m horizontal reach, this truck is perfect for jobs that require precision in urban and industrial environments.
One of the standout features is its SPEED automatic stabilisation system, which simplifies setup and maximises safety. Stabilisation controls from both the basket and ground make it easy to work on uneven or tight ground conditions. It’s compact, so it’s easier to navigate through inner-city areas or small industrial sites like warehouses or power plants.
ForSte 32DJ Speed for Urban Efficiency
- Best for: Electric line maintenance, tree trimming, and property maintenance.
The ForSte 32DJ Speed offers everything you need for urban and industrial projects where mobility is one of the top priorities.
The platform has a 32m working height and an 18m horizontal reach, supported by a load capacity of 280 kg, perfect for three operators plus tools.
With its double-articulated platform and hydraulic jib, it provides all the features you’d expect from a high-performing EWP but with added urban-focused functionality. Like the 37DJ Speed, the SPEED automatic stabilisation system and fixed vertical stabilisers improve usability and safety while minimising downtime during setup.
It can handle tight urban spaces and is even suitable for hire without a driver thanks to its simplified stabilisation.
