Common Platform

Built into every crane

Every build shares the same modular construction, drive architecture and safety package, and is electrically, hydraulically and mechanically tested before delivery.

Six-module build

Fixed boom, knuckle or telescopic boom, pedestal with slewing column, control panel, operator cabin and platform, shipped pre-tested.

Twin-drive slewing

Two motor-reduction gear units with safety valves and brakes drive the 360°-limited slew.

Over-centre luffing

Hydraulic luffing cylinders with over-centre safety valves keep every lift controlled.

Load safety

Hoist limit switch (anti-two-block), overload alarm, load-monitoring system and emergency stop on every build.

Emergency lowering

Hand-pump emergency lowering, with flood lighting for safe operation in low visibility.

Class certified

Fully load tested and certified to BV or ABS Lifting Appliance on a project basis. Rated for Sea State 4.
