Reversible Mobile Crane with Triple Telescopic Boom

A new self-propelled, walk-behind mobile hydraulic floor crane features triple section telescopic boom action to provide extra reach beyond the wheels and higher lift. The unit features 90° steering to each side, enabling the crane to turn in tight spots within its own length. It also features a track of 34-in. in overall width, which enables the crane to travel through standard doorways and narrow aisles.

The heavy-duty, welded-steel crane is available in capacities ranging from 1,000- to 20,000-lb with boom fully retracted. However, the crane's capacity is reduced as the telescopic boom is extended up to 240-in. on the larger units. The manufacturer states that the crane's electro mechanically operated propulsion allows for smooth, quiet, and clean operation. In addition, its variable speed drive has a precision acceleration and deceleration control, which allows the crane to travel at a very slow speed of 12-in./min and to accelerate up to 4 mph.

The crane is battery powered with hydraulically operated lift and telescoping action. All controls are built into the steering handle and are push button activated. Remote control is also available when an operator needs to manipulate the load manually, and control the unit from that position.

Optional winch-operated cable lift is also available in battery or hydraulically powered models. According to the manufacturer, the cable lift enables the operator to reach below ground level, and perform difficult tasks such as reaching into a man-hole, working from the first floor into the basement, or laying pipe below ground level.
