Hop Work Platform

The Hop Work Platform is a front-mounted personnel lift designed for safe and efficient work in hop fields. Mounted on the tractor’s front loader, it allows workers to access upper levels of the hop trellis system—for example, to attach hop wires or perform maintenance tasks.

Designed for attachment via quick-change front loader system, manufactured and

certified in accordance with EU type-examination (EC type approval), including

official certificate.

The Hop Work Platform is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. It is

designed solely for the installation of guide wires on hop trellis systems and for the maintenance of overhead wire structures in hop fields.

Features

  • Low-profile construction for safe and comfortable entry and exit.
  • Work platform with all-round hand guard and automatically locking entry/exit gate.
  • Hydraulic tilt adjustment of the work basket to the left and right for slope

    compensation.

  • Manual turntable with locking mechanism underneath the platform enables 90° rotation of the basket for road transport.
  • Thanks to the integrated mechanical parallelogram linkage, the platform

    remains parallel to the ground at all times – no manual adjustment by the

    tractor operator required (mechanical parallelogram guidance of the front

    loader arm is necessary)

  • The work basket can be custom-built up to a width of 3,50 meters based on

    customer request.
