New Böcker trailer crane

German crane and hoist manufacturer Böcker has launched a new 2.5 tonne electric powered trailer crane, the AHK 36e X.

The new crane features a three section main boom, topped by a standard three section 11 metre luffing jib extended hydraulically, for a maximum tip height of 36 metres, with the optional two metre manual extension.

The jib has a capacity of 500kg and can be telescoped when under load, while the electric drive winch has a 1.5 tonne line pull. An optional work platform offers a maximum working height of 32 metres. The onboard battery allows for 140 lifting cycles, and recharges from a standard 230 volt outlet.

An optional additional counterweight provides more capacity at long reach, offering an additional two metres radius with a 250kg load. The extra counterweight plates attach to the crane's frame after setup and can easily be installed by a single person.

The new chassis design includes an improved outrigger setup with auto levelling and sensing, which also increases the working slope angle at the rear by 25 percent, while also providing greater ground clearance when stowed for transport. The outrigger set up includes auto levelling and monitoring.

The company said: “As a Böcker trailer crane of the NeXt generation, the battery powered crane combines uncompromising performance with sustainable drive technology and sets standards for demanding construction sites. With its hydraulically extendible jib, the electric 1.5 t winch, a revised chassis and optional additional ballasting, the new crane always utilises its performance potential - without compromising on range, payload or working speed.”
