Northwest Express Roadbuilders was recently commissioned to construct the $840 million Northwest Corridor toll-lanes project in Georgia. The project includes construction of new toll lanes on 30 miles of Interstates I-75 and I-575 in Cherokee and Cobb counties, adding traffic capacity and greater mobility through the city. 

Haulotte's 55 XA articulating boom lift is an effective way to work at height for anyone who needs a quiet, easy-to-use lift that can set up in 30 seconds and deliver 500 lbs. of platform capacity at up to 55 ft. of platform height or 33 ft. of horizontal reach. Haulotte presented the machine at the Lift and Access Showcase in Las Vegas, Nev., last October, with Haulotte's general manager for Canada, Tom Bell, handling the demonstration and commentary.

The 55 XA is a self-propelled hybrid lift that can work indoors or outdoors and is easy to transport between jobs, easy to maneuver on site, easy to set up, and easy to run. Bell said that those characteristics make machine especially good for small to medium rental companies and for contractors.

Stowed for travel, it measures 21'2" long, 5'8" wide, and 6'9" high. It can fit through a double door, and its four-wheel steering (standard) gives the machine an inside turning radius of just 6'10".
