Mounted on a Volvo FE fully electric three axle chassis, the K950LEX is the result of a collaboration between Klaas Kranbau, Nederhoff, All-Up, and the Hengelo branch of Volvo Truck dealer Nijwa. It is rated at seven metres wheere it can lift its five tonne maximum capacity to a height of up to nine metres. It features a four section main boom and four section luffing upper boom/jib for a maximum tip height of 45 metres. It can lift one tonne at a 28 metre radius or take 500kg to 36.5 metres. An optional work platform attachment offers a working height of just over 41 metres. Standard features include self-levelling outriggers, extendable counterweight, slew limit settings and point to point memory function. It features two electric motors driven by a 225 kW battery pack, allowing a driving range of up to 275km on a single charge.
