New Hüffermann electric crane

German crane and access rental company Hüffermann Krandienst has launched a new version of its electric self-propelled loader crane for industrial applications.

Based on a 53 tonne/metre Palfinger PK 53002-SH, loader crane, the AC powered crane has been designed for work in the automotive and food industries as well as general confined areas. Compared t the first generation crane which went into service a year ago, this one is lighter, more compact, includes four wheel steer, has a higher drive speed and can raise the boom while travelling.

The Hüffermann has long reach and above horizontal jib articulation

The unit will jack itself up to 1.2 metres to allow a trailer/flat bed truck to be reversed underneath for easy self loading. The two stage beam and jack outriggers can be configured asymmetrically with the load chart adjusted to suit the jacked base.

Maximum capacity is 10.5 tonnes and it can handle 2.5 tonnes at 16 metres radius. Maximum lift height is 25 metres. ATEX Explosion proof versions are available, while three different counterweight configurations are available in order to tailor the crane to suit various jobs and weight restrictions.
