Tracked / self-levelling
Almac Athena 870 BL EVO
19ft tracked bi-levelling scissor lift, 7.9m working height, 250kg on a full 1.50 x 1.20m basket — diesel drive for soft and sloping ground.
Overview
The Almac Athena 870 BL EVO is a crawler (tracked) scissor lift with proactive bi-levelling: it keeps the basket level on slopes and uneven ground while rubber tracks spread the load on soft or finished surfaces. 7.9m working height, 5.9m platform floor and a 250kg two-operator basket measuring a full 1.50 x 1.20m — noticeably more room than the 850 BL. Standard drive is a Kubota Z482 diesel, with a 220V 2.2kW electric motor and a 220V 1kW generator available. Levelling range is plus or minus 16 degrees longitudinal at the front, 20 degrees at the rear and 15 degrees laterally. 2,460kg.
Where it works
Good to confirm: Tracked repositioning is slower than wheeled. Diesel as standard — confirm indoor use is acceptable, or ask for the electric option. Confirm surface rating before tracking over finished ground. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.
Decision panel
Seven questions, answered from this machine’s verified specifications. 5 still to confirm with the hire team.
A Confirm mark means the decisive figure is not on this record. Send us the site details and we will answer it before quoting; we never guess a specification.
Specifications
Grouped for quick scanning. A row appears once its figure is verified for this machine; anything not listed here is not yet on the record, and the Fit & access panel above marks it Confirm. The manufacturer spec sheet always takes precedence.
Transport
Swipe
Quoted by suburb, machine and access. We plan the truck, the unloading space and any overhead hazards before the run, tell us about docks, tight driveways and height limits when you book.
Customer pickup has not been confirmed for this machine. Delivery is always available and is quoted together with the hire; if you would rather collect, ask the team and they will confirm whether a trailer combination is approved for it.
Logistics
What we need from you, and what we take care of.
Swipe
Quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements, the machine and the delivery are quoted together for your dates.
Tell us the narrowest gate, doorway or gap the machine must pass through and we will confirm the fit before it is loaded.
Scissor-type EWP. No high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card (SL) accepted competency. Diesel site rules apply.
Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together, see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Send your suburb, your dates and the tightest access width. We will confirm the machine and quote the delivery with it.
Safety
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before it leaves the yard. The operator still checks it before each shift, tick these off as you go.
Swipe
Tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Never operate a machine with a known fault, we will repair or swap it.
Ticking here is a memory aid on your phone, nothing is stored. The machine’s own logbook and pre-start check sheet are the record. Based on the manufacturer’s daily check requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance for this kind of equipment.
Site prep
Five minutes of checking here is what keeps a delivery from becoming a return trip.
Swipe
Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area. Handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
Tracks are gentle on surfaces, but confirm pavers, pit lids and irrigation lines on the route can take the machine’s weight.
Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height, and an exclusion zone for people below.
Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
Avoid
The things that most often send a machine back or hold up a job.
Swipe
Measure to the actual task height, then choose the machine. Nothing added “just in case”.
An 820 mm door leaf is not 820 mm of clear opening once the stop and hardware are counted. Measure the gap.
Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground. Say so when you book and we will send a tracked machine.
Shopping centres and managed sites need the paperwork approved before the truck arrives.

Working height, not platform height
This machine is rated at 7.9 m (about 26 feet). Working height is what a person can reach from the platform, not the height of the platform floor. The difference is roughly two metres, and it is the figure most quotes get wrong.
A spec sheet answers what the machine does. It cannot tell you whether it fits your gate, your ground or your slab, so ask us. Two details is enough.
We will come back to you on the details you gave. Your PDF has downloaded already.
