Hydraulic jib for Unic

Unic Cranes Europe has developed a hydraulic luffing jib attachment for its URW295 and URW706 spider cranes.

Unveiled at Intermat, the updated URW295-2 and URW706-2 spider cranes feature a hydraulic luffing jib while retaining the same lift-to-weight ratio and dimensions as the original models. Effectively converting them into a form of articulated spider crane, the new models, while not the same, will offer an alternative to the increasingly successful Maeda MK1033CW-1.

The URW295-2 has a hook height of 11.6 metres and a 700kg lift capacity, while the URW706-2 has a hook height of 25.9 metres and an 800kg lift capacity. Both hydraulic luffing jibs can offset by up to 60 degrees and can also be fitted with a jib nose mounted hook.

Chief executive Graeme Riley said: “The Unic URW295-2 and Unic URW295-2 are great additions to our versatile UNIC range. Our ever expanding range means that we can bring efficient and safe lifting solutions to an even wider breadth of industries.”

The new attachments will be on show at Vertikal Days next week, where more information will be available as well as live demonstrations.
