R&B cranes CE marked

Japanese based R&B Engineering has CE marked two of its Spider cranes ready for a European launch.

The first two units to be CE approved are the 2.8 tonne CR285D, which weighs 1,750kg and boasts an 8.9 metre main boom and the significantly larger CR335D which is rated at 2.98 tonnes but weighs 3,760kg and features a 12.5 metre main boom.

While the two cranes carry a similar nominal capacity they are totally different beasts, the 285 is rated at 1.5 metres radius and the 335 at 2.5 metres. The cranes do compare directly with the Maeda MC285 and MC305-2 models.

The full R&B mini crane range includes four models but at the moment the company does not have plans to CE mark he two smaller models, the CR174G and CR235GL although this may change if demand warrants it, once the company has appointed some distributors.
