When a job requires substantial working height and access through restricted areas, choosing the right aerial work platform is essential.
The GLT LIFTS GCT60 tracked boom lift is the highest-reaching model in the GLT LIFTS telescopic crawler boom lift range, with a maximum working height of 59'1"/ 18 m and horizontal reach of up to 24'7" @ 507 lbs / 29'6" @ 265 lbs / 7.5m（230kg）/ 9m (120kg).
Its compact tracked chassis, expandable crawler tracks and dual-power configuration make it suitable for a range of elevated maintenance and access tasks. Applications include tree care, utility maintenance, building façade work, and industrial facility repairs.

The GCT60 features an expandable crawler track system that adjusts the machine's track width to suit different access requirements.
Retracted tracks: Approximately 2 ft 11 in (0.90 m) wide, helping the machine pass through narrow access points.
Expanded tracks: Approximately 4 ft 5 in (1.35 m) wide, providing a wider track stance before the machine is positioned for work.
This feature helps contractors manage the transition between restricted access routes and open work areas. During elevated operation, the outriggers provide the machine's support; expanding the tracks is a separate function that adjusts the track width.
For buyers comparing a compact crawler boom lift, this adjustable width can be an important consideration when planning transport, access and setup.
The GCT60 is equipped with a Yanmar diesel engine and a 220V electric motor. This configuration provides power options for different site requirements, including outdoor work and suitable indoor applications.
Before use indoors, confirm ventilation, electrical supply, floor capacity and the operating requirements of the selected configuration.
Wireless proportional controls and Danfoss proportional valves support precise movement of the boom and other machine functions.
Standard safety features include a load moment limiter (LMI), outrigger sensors, automatic leveling, a three-mode safety interlock and an emergency hand pump for equipment recovery.
The Smart Power Proximity Safety System is optional. For suitable configurations, it can monitor distances near electrical hazards and provide staged warnings. Confirm system availability and configuration with the factory. It does not replace required electrical clearances, site risk assessments or established safety procedures.
Non-marking white rubber tracks are also available as an option for applications where minimizing floor marks is important.
The GCT60 can support elevated tree-care tasks such as canopy inspection, branch trimming and deadwood removal where the site and work method are suitable. Its tracked chassis and adjustable track width can help with access planning around residential properties and landscaped areas.
For selected utility applications, the GCT60 can provide elevated access for inspection and maintenance around utility infrastructure and substations. Work near energized equipment requires trained personnel, approved work procedures, appropriate clearances and a suitable machine configuration.
The GCT60 can help crews reach elevated exterior areas for façade inspection, repairs and building upkeep. Its horizontal reach can be useful when planning access around architectural features and other obstacles.
For indoor and outdoor facilities, applications may include replacing high-bay lights in warehouses and sports arenas, servicing overhead fixtures in exhibition halls, inspecting high ceilings and maintaining building exteriors.
Before indoor deployment, verify doorway clearance, overhead obstructions, floor load capacity and available setup space.
At suitable industrial sites, the GCT60 can support maintenance tasks involving factory lighting, overhead piping, building infrastructure and elevated equipment inspection. Confirm that the working envelope, floor capacity and site conditions meet the machine's operating requirements.
