With a 7m reach and two-piece boom design, the articulated “break” in the boom provides additional height and flexibility, allowing the crane to operate closer to the machine — ideal for piling and precision lifting operations. The machine also offers a slightly higher lifting capacity than standard models. Fully cabbed for operator comfort and convenience, and available with a cab guard kit, it is fitted with a hydraulic quick hitch and supplied with a full set of buckets (including ditching and various digging sizes). Operating on bio-oil and LOLER certified for lifting operations complete with lift eye and shackle. It is particularly well suited to wide beam canals, wide beam pontoons, towpath works, piling and dredging.
