• Simultaneous hydraulic movements with automatic end-of-stroke deceleration, for smooth and precise maneuverability.
• Go-Home function, automatically initiating the boom’s folding sequence.
• Wall function, controlling telescopic extension when working near vertical obstacles.
• Automatic jib folding, reducing transport dimensions and setup times.
• New Jib Plus with +/-65° lateral rotation, for highly precise aerial maneuvers.
• Heavy-duty steel covers, for maximum durability and protection.

The first two models, the AJ 15 and AJ 17, will available by the end of 2025 and will be followed by a new generation of tracked articulated boom lifts will follow.

Andrea Artoni, CEO of Almac, said, “With AlmacTech we are not simply launching a new line of machines—we are starting a journey. The AJ-Line embodies our vision of how a conventional product can be transformed into a new working experience. For us, innovation means listening to the market and turning needs into solutions that simplify, protect, and empower operators. That is what will make the difference for our partners and for everyone working at height.”
