Fassi

Fassi had this nice finnish Scania R in 10x4 version on display. It belongs to Kurko and has got the new topmodel, the F2150RAL installed. The L says it is the long version. The base crane extends 8x and gives 24,5 meter outreach with 4,1 ton capacity. Maximum load is 28,7 ton at 4,75 meters. The 6x extending jib gives the crane an outreach of 41 meters with 970 kg capacity. The JDP option on the jib lets it lift a maximum load of 7 tons. This crane folds down in driving direction and therefore takes away a part of the loading floor of the truck.

A new crane model is this F1650RA, an 8x extending crane with an outreach of 19,4 meters and a capacity of 5,245 tons there.

Recently Fassi took a share in Cranab. From now on Cranab is back in the logging crane business for trucks, with this crane as the first result. This is the TZ12 which will also be sold via the Fassi network.

 
Hiab

This Arocs was parked in a narrow corner on the Hiab stand. The 8x4 truck is equiped with a Hiab 1058 E8 and a Jib 150X-6. The interesting part of this truck is the subframe, it was built by FMG from Austria. It has got a fixed leg on the left side that extends to the front aswell and a swivveling leg on the right side. With these the crane gets stability to the front.

An interesting development of Hiab is this HiVision system. The crane is equiped with a camera, it's the red box on the top right. The driver can now use some VR-glasses to operate the crane from out of the trucks cab. It doesn't need to leave this cab during the loading procedure. With this system the regular crane cab can be left out.
If this is the future of craning, we will see!

 
Hidrokon

Hidrokon showed this foldable knuckleboom on a Ford Cargo 3232S 8x2, a truck built in Turkey. The crane is the HK906+S5, a 6x extending base crane with 15,2 meter outreach and 4,725 ton load, or 12,55 tons at 6 meter. With the 5x extending jib a distance of 26,2 meter is reached with a load of 1,42 tons.

 
Manitex

This Manitex 2829C on a Iveco Trakker 360 6x6 was parked between the halls. It's a telescopic crane that extends 3x and has a boom length of 28 meters, which gives a height of 31 meters. The maximum load on this crane is 24,5 tons at 1,5 meters, or 15,66 tons at 3 meters. Optionally a jib can be installed which gives 14 additional meters of boom, which means a height of 45 meter is possible. Interesting feature are the side outriggers and the central outrigger.
