UK rental company Lee Aerial Lifting has ordered the very first Klaas K2350 truck mounted crane off the production line, its second unit from the manufacturer. The new crane is expected to arrive shortly.
The K2350 is mounted on a four axle chassis, while the K2300 on which it is based is on three axles. It features a three section 31 metre main boom topped by a five section telescopic jib for a maximum tip height of 51 metres at which point it can handle 750kg. It can also take one tonne to a radius of 36 metres at a height of 14 metres, while at its maximum radius of 45 metres, it can handle 250kg at a height of 11 metres.
The unit – ordered at Bauma in April – follows its purchase of a 4.5 tonne Klaas K2300 truck mounted crane which has proved to be a popular unit in the film and TV industry since it was delivered in March. The company said that following its positive experience with the K2300, it decided to order the K2350 during Bauma earlier this year.
Lee Lifting operates from a base near London’s Heathrow Airport, covering central London, but has also built up a strong business working with the regional film studios of Pinewood, Leavesden, Shepperton, Longcross and Elstree studios.
