The crane at its most compact

The new crane features a three section six metre telescopic boom that can lift just over 1,000kgs to a height of around three metres and will lift 300kgs to a 5.8 metres hook height or take 225kgs to its full outreach.

The crane is only 2.4 metres long by 860mm wide and 950mm high at its most compact. Additional stability comes from an extendable water tank counterweight system and rolling outriggers/stabilisers that are swung into the forward position for maximum outreach. All capacities can be pick & carried.
