French rental and heavy haulage company Cauvas Occilev has taken delivery of a Spierings SK487-AT3 City Boy self-erecting mobile tower crane, the first City Boy in the country.
The SK487-AT3 can be operated as a full battery electric machine, and used as a plug-in hybrid model with a small, low emission diesel engine for topping up.
It has a maximum capacity of seven tonnes - which it can take to a radius of just under 12 metres - and can handle 1,700kg at its maximum radius of 40 metres. Four tower heights of 21, 24, 27 and 30 metres are available, while the jib luffs to 15, 30 or 45 degrees for a maximum lift height of more than 55 metres. Total weight is 36 tonnes and it has overall stowed dimensions of 13.1 metres long, 2.5 metres wide and four metres high.
The crane on its first job
Chief executive Benjamin Cauvas said: "What we value most is the City Boy’s unique electric versatility, combined with Spierings’ recognised expertise. With this crane, we want to create a new market by offering our clients a lifting solution for sites with restricted access, especially in city centres. It also allows us to meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible lifting solutions.”
Established in 2018, Occilev is a subsidiary of family run Cauvas, headquartered in Bonneuil-en-France near Paris. In 2010, the grandson of the founder, Benjamin Cauvas took over as managing director. Today, the company provides lifting services as well as heavy goods haulage, handling, and storage, with cranes ranging from 50 to 450 tonnes.
