The electrical emergency lowering system can be controlled from the platform and from the turntable. Due to its telescopic boom, Nostolift XS 240 has a wide side reach, and the work is also facilitated as the slewing mechanism rotates without limitation. The jib boom as standard equipment ensures agile movements.
