German crane and aerial lift manufacturer Klaas has unveiled an all new truck crane mounted on a 3.5 tonne chassis, the K200.

Shown as a prototype at last weeks Platformer Days exhibition in Germany, the new crane has a maximum capacity of 1,000kg at a radius of between six and seven metres, while it can take 500kg out to 13 metres radius, while the maximum tip height is likely to be almost 23 metres, or if you prefer a hook height of just over 22 metres.
The boom is all aluminium with a riser topped by a three section telescopic boom and a short fixed extension, with the classic Klaas construction. On the Mercedes shassis the crane has an overall length of 6.8 metres, overall width of 2.1 metres and is 2.8 metres high on the road.
