Guaranteed safety. To work with peace of mind safety is essential. Loading and

unloading a boom is always a delicate procedure, particularly in conditions of

limited visibility. To enhance users safety, Haulotte Group developed an

innovative and ultra high performance lighting system - Active Lighting System

Safe Load. This lighting system illuminates the controls and the area

around the boom. Users can thus safely carry out their maneuvers.

Greater productivity. With perfectly simultaneous movements it quickly extends to full

height to reach the work area. In particular, the HT 28 model features a

working height of 28 meters and a horizontal out reach of nearly 24 meters.

Thus users can reach even the most inaccessible work areas. Maximum comfort.

At such heights it is essential for users to trust their machine, that's why

this telescopic boom is equipped with a rigid boom to avoid jerks and the spring

effect that might generate a feeling of danger. Thus users can work with complete

peace of mind. Enhanced durability. To withstand the test of time like all new

machines developed by Haulotte Group, the HT 26-28 range incorporates the latest

design standards, ensuring robustness and high durability to maintain greater

resale value. Cover hoods feature a metallic framework for extreme rigidity

and sturdiness. Steering rods are located inside the frame for protection in case

of impact. The upper control box is

protected thanks to a highly resilient protective housing. the weighing system

located within the connecting piece between the platform and jib is

protected from damage. Easy maintenance. In the workshop every effort was made to

simplify service operations. This telescopic boom is equipped with the

Active Screen onboard diagnostic system. A comprehensive tool that provides

access to the complete malfunction resolution procedure,

machine settings, maintenance alerts and service intervals. For fleet management,

the HT 26-28 range is equipped with a universal telematics connector as

standard. It allows you to quickly connect your own telematics devices to

the Haulotte machines. Cost efficiency. This telescopic boom was designed to optimize

long-term cost effectiveness. When operators are working at height, the

engine often runs for no reason, resulting in the hour meter counting

hours unnecessarily. That is why the HT 26-28 range is equipped with

the innovative Stop Emission System, that automatically stops and restarts the engine.

The system reduces use of the engine and peripheral components by up

to 20%. Thereby extending the life of your

engine and assuring higher residual value. The machine causes much less

pollution, thereby reducing respiratory risks for users. The machine also

produces less noise. A considerable benefit when working in sensitive areas,

hospitals, schools, office buildings etc.

Trump to roll back Obama's crackdown on military equipment for local police - Duration: 6:15.

Trump to roll back Obama's crackdown on military equipment for local police

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday rescinding former President Barack Obamas restrictions on the transfer of military-style equipment from the Department of Defense to local law enforcement agencies.

In remarks before the Fraternal Order of Police in Nashville, Tennessee, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Monday that Trump will undo Obama's executive order blocking the Pentagon from transferring such equipment to local law enforcement.

The order will take effect Monday and will instruct executive branch agencies to take steps to undo directives, guidelines and policies related to the Obama order.

Obama's order came in the wake of violent riots in Ferguson, Missouri, in which police, controversially, used armored vehicles and other heavy, military-type equipment in efforts to quell protests sparked by the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed when he was shot and killed by police.

Many blamed the use of such imposing equipment for inciting tensions that ultimately turned violent.

These restrictions that had been imposed went too far. We will not put superficial concerns above public safety. We will do our best to get you what you need, Sessions said Monday. Good equipment saves lives.

The executive order that the president will sign today will ensure that you can get the life-saving gear you need to do your job and send a strong message that we will not allow criminal activity, violence and lawlessness to become a new normal..

The previously restricted equipment that will potentially once again be available to law enforcement includes body armor, riot shields, firearms, ammunition and computers, according to a Justice Department document.

Also potentially available will be grenade launchers — used by law enforcement to fire nonlethal projectiles like bean bags, paint balls and tear gas — as well as tracked, armored vehicles, aircraft, explosives and battering rams.

In addition to allowing the Pentagon to once again transfer surplus equipment to law enforcement agencies, Trump's executive order will return to full funding grant programs that allowed law enforcement to purchase the types of equipment in question.

Under the statute that initially allowed for the transfer of such equipment, law enforcement agencies must certify that they have adopted publicly available protocols before they can acquire military-style gear.

The vital importance of equipment that will once again be allowed to flow from the military to law enforcement is currently on display in Texas, Sessions said, where first responders, along with the National Guard, have used large vehicles, aircraft and other life-saving equipment in rescue operations related to Hurricane Harvey, which has triggered record flooding in Houston.

In a document detailing the president's order, the Justice Department suggests that, while controversial, the distribution of military-style equipment ultimately keeps both law enforcement officers and the communities they protect safer.

As examples, the document cites the use of an armored vehicle in the police response to a 2015 terrorist shooting in San Bernardino, California, and a military-style helmet that stopped a bullet and saved the life of an officer responding to a 2016 terrorist shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

Beyond keeping officers safe and lowering crime rates, Sessions also said Monday that military-type equipment actually reduces the number of complaints against officers.

Trumps order will also save taxpayer money, Sessions said, by putting to use military equipment that might otherwise sit idle or be disposed of because its no longer of use.

"It represents a policy shift toward ensuring officers have the tools they need to reduce crime and keep their communities safe," the Justice Department document said.

"It sends the message that we care more about public safety than about how a piece of equipment looks, especially when that equipment has been shown to reduce crime, reduce complaints against and assaults on police, and make officers more effective.".

Trump Expected to Lift Ban on Transfer of Military Equipment to Police - Duration: 3:03.

Trump Expected to Lift Ban on Transfer of Military Equipment to Police

President Donald Trump is planning to lift an Obama administration ban on the transfer of some surplus military equipment to police departments, USA Today reported on Sunday.

The plan, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions may outline in his address to the Fraternal Order of Police on Monday, would reverse an executive order made by President Barack Obama that blocked the transfer from the military of armored vehicles, large-caliber weapons, and other heavy equipment to local police forces.

Obama initiated the ban after police in Ferguson, Missouri, used armored vehicles and other heavy equipment when dealing with unrest there in 2014 following the shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.

In implementing the ban, Obama said the use of such equipment made the police appear as an occupying force to many local residents and worsened the divide between law enforcement and the community.

But, according to a Trump administration summary of the new program recently circulated to some law enforcement groups and obtained by USA Today, a lifting of the ban would restore the full scope of a longstanding program for recycling surplus, lifesaving gear from the Department of Defense, along with restoring the full scope of grants used to purchase this type of equipment from other sources,

adding that Assets that would otherwise be scrapped can be re-purposed to help state, local and tribal law enforcement better protect public safety and reduce crime.

Law enforcement groups have long been seeking a reversal of the Obama policy, saying that access to such equipment was needed to better respond to local unrest.

The Obama ban was made on the advice of a White House advisory group formed after the riots in Ferguson and which maintained police should avoid using provocative tactics and equipment that undermine civilian trust.
