Unic to launch its smallest crane in March

Unic Cranes Europe will launch what they claim will be the worlds smallest crane at SMOPYC in Zaragoza, Spain on March first. The unit designated the A094CR measures only 590mm wide and weighs just 1000kg.

Unic claim that the A094CR is the world’s smallest and lightest mini crane, designed for manoevring into the tightest most restricted of working areas. Once in position, the A094CR is capable of lifting a tonne (0995kgs) While its 5.49m long boom provides a maximum hook height of 5.6m.

Gill Riley, managing director of UNIC Cranes Europe, said:
"The A094CR increases the UNIC range of mini crawlers to five models. It is our smallest yet, and being so lightweight, will come into its own for interior work where floor loading has to be low. And with three joint fuel options, petrol, LPG and mains electric, polution in confined areas won't be a problem for operators."

The A094CR will also feature remote control, computerised audible warning system and an overload warning device that senses outrigger loadings to alert th eoperator.

Regarding the Spanish market, Gill Riley added: "Spain will be another new market for us. With 12 dealers now established in the region,- the latest being in South Africa - we are currently in discussions with several Spanish companies and hope to have someone in place in time for SMOPYC."
