Unics for Danish defence

The Danish Ministry of Defence - Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) - has purchased 12 Unic URW-1006+ 10 tonne spider cranes from local distributor Lissner, with the support of European master distributor GGR/Unic Cranes Europe.

The URW-1006+ spider crane features a 23 metre six section main boom topped by a three section telescopic jib, taking the maximum tip height to 32.5 metres. In this configuration and height the crane can lift 1,000kg at a radius of 4.6 metres, while it is able to achieve its maximum radius of 24.3 metres with a lift height of 15 metres, at which it can handle 150kg.
