The D86 is a new ANSI 10.31 digger derrick from Elliott Equipment. Like its predecessors, the D115 and D105, the D86 is specifically designed for transmission and heavy-duty construction projects.

The D86 is mounted on a tandem axle chassis and boasts an 86-foot sheave height, 200,000 lb.-ft. or torque, a 41-foot digging radius, and a 16-foot digging depth. The unit is equipped with Elliott's high boom pin point geometry allowing for maximum power out of the whole, a variable displacement piston pump, anda  new ergonomic seated control console.

Optional features include a heavy-duty tilting pole claw attachment and pole guide for gripping large poles, radio remote control boom and digger operation, and out and down EZ-CRIB high-penetration two-stage vertical outriggers with full or mid-span operation.
