Now it finally arrived and went straight to action: our new 60-tonnes Electric Crane. With his enormous lifting capacitiy of 60 tonnes it bridges the gap to extremely high weights, that we have not been able to lift before. Due to its modular construction, this crane is able to reach a maximum lifting capacity of 60 tonnes by loading additional ballast onto it. However the basic vehicle is light enough to be transported without explicit permit and can flexibly be deployed at very short notice. It has a fully electric power unit and is thereby working emission-free. It can be controlled either from the cabin or by a remote control. Due to its small dimensions (height and width each 2,35m) it can be used even in the smallest driveways. The use of different hydraulic jibs allows us to lift extreme weights even in confined spaces up to the roof. These photos show the transport of heavy-weight machinery (26-tonnes). 

Once again this was tight!

Actually the job was to move some compactors up to a weight of 11 tonnes on an industrial site. As usual, we had to deal with confined space conditions. First problem was, that the machines were too high to simply be moved from one building into another. This made it necessary to put the machines on their side before they could be moved. In this case, some of the factory gates had a height of only 2.65 meters, which mostly is too narrow for cranes and forklifts of that size. Luckily „Hubert“, who took part in this mission too, is only 2.52 meters high. Our „Bakran“ is in fact 2.74 meters high but fortunately we are able to dismantle the upper part of the cabin, which reduces its height to 2.51 meters
