Dynamic Self-Levelling
Some of our Elevado EWP’s feature dynamic bi-leveling. this refers to the self-levelling ability the machine.
“Dynamic” means the machine can automatically level itself while it is moving and in use.
“Bi-Levelling” means the chassis levels across two axes. This allows the platform to work on both side slopes and fore-and-aft slopes.
A few boom lifts are described as “self-levelling”, but not all self-levelling systems work the same way.
For elevated work on uneven terrain, a boom lift needs a way to keep the platform level. This is often done with stabiliser legs. Some machines can also level their chassis while parked.
But parked levelling only solves part of the problem.
The real test is whether the machine can keep working as the ground changes.
This is where Elevado is different.
Elevado rough terrain boom lifts are designed to self-level while driving with the boom raised. This allows the operator to move across uneven, sloping and unprepared ground without needing to stop, lower the boom or reset stabiliser legs.
The system uses high-precision inclinometers to monitor the slope of the ground. It then uses hydraulic cylinders to adjust the chassis position across both axes in real time while the machine moves.
This helps keep the machine stable and the platform level while working on rough ground.
Elevado machines also include safety systems that monitor the machine’s operating limits. When the machine approaches those limits, it will stop and alert the operator with audible and visual alarms. The operator must then return the boom or chassis to a safer, more stable position before continuing.
Elevado stands behind its self-levelling technology.
The system was first developed in Europe around 15 years ago and has since been tested, refined and proven in demanding forestry and agricultural environments. More recently, Elevado machines have been further developed for the Australian market, with models suited to construction, civil works, agriculture and rough-ground access.
No conditions. No workarounds. It just works.
CherryHill Back 4 More
It brings us great joy to announce that CherryHill Orchards has taken delivery of its second pair of Elevado Pinnacle machines.
This now brings their fleet to four Elevado Pinnacle machines working across their orchards, helping with the installation and maintenance of protective netting.
For orchard netting work, the Pinnacle is a clear choice. The Elevado
Tracks VS Wheels on EWP’s
Elevado’s main focus is elevated access on rough outdoor ground. For this reason, we primarily build wheeled machines.
Tracked machines can work well on smooth slopes or soft ground, but rough outdoor terrain is rarely smooth. On worksites, farms and orchards, the ground often includes ruts, holes, gutters, mounds, washouts and sharp changes in level.

Southern Cross Netting Receives Two New Pinnacle Machines
Southern Cross Netting has taken delivery of two new Elevado Pinnacle machines for their latest project installing hail netting over a car storage yard.
The team needed two machines in a hurry to keep the job moving, and Elevado was more than happy to help. With machines available and ready to go, we were able to
