NEW POWERED PLATFORM
Economy Engineering Company introduces a new concept of
powered platforms. A fifth wheel provides maneuverability, allow0
ing the unit to turn 360 on its own axis. All operations including
lifting, driving and power steering are controlled from the platform. Unit can be driven while extended in the air. Large 21
square foot platform handles 2-3 men and their equipment.
The series 800 platforms are designed to be driven in tight
congested areas - anywhere that overhead work is requ ired.
Quiet and efficient D.C. power source provides fume-free,
non-polluting operation. Three models are available for working
at 16, 20, and 26 feet above the floor. 1,000 pound maximum

Arm·A·Light color sleeves are an economical innovation in
lighting. Exciting changes of atmosphere are possible instantly
by slipping an inexpensive plastic sleeve over fluorescent lamp
tubes.
Sleeves also offer protection against accidental or malicious
breakage and retain shattered glass in the event the tube is broken.
Five, brilliant shades are available - red, blue, green, pink
and, for summer stock - "Bug chaser" amber.
