TRUCK MOUNTED CRANES GO FAR

Truck mounted cranes are getting bigger and bigger. This is also the case for BMS Esbjerg, who recently invested in a very large crane with a huge range in both height and outreach.

Thanks to the new truck mounted crane, BMS Esbjerg can assist its customers with lifts over rooftops, into backyards, and in many other places where space is limited. While erecting a sizeable mobile crane often takes relatively long time, requires a crew, and not least involves pretty much space, it can now be done quickly and efficiently by a single employee with a truck-mounted crane – and without taking up more than a single lane.

The new crane at BMS Esbjerg is a 200 tons-metres Palfinger PK 200002L loader crane mounted on a Volvo truck.

The long boom design is mainly intended for operations with high outreach. The hydraulic lifting height is roughly 49 metres thanks to the long boom design – and due to double circuit control, the crane has a high working speed.

With the 15-degree reverse linkage system on the knuckle boom and the 25-degree reverse linkage system fly-jib, the crane can reach through low door openings and also work inside buildings. Furthermore, the variable stabiliser positioning of the High-Performance Stability Control System allows the full lifting capacity of the crane to be used, even when working within tight spaces.Anden kolonne
