This Mercedes Actros 3346 belongs to Rüf Transporte from Au (A). |
|
It's a short 6x4 with the half-long cab and the 460 hp V6 engine. At the back of the truck stands an Effer 955 8S, extending 8x to 20,5 meter. It is also equiped with a 6x extending jib.

Here we see how compact this crane truck is. The loading box is just long enough so that the crane can lie there. This gives a better weight distribution during road transport. The truck was built by Wohlgenannt.
|
|
The crane is rear mounted, which is the only way to have such a heavy crane mounted onto a 6x4. The weight of the crane mainly rests on the tandem.
|
|
Stabilty is provided by no less than 8 outriggers. Two of them are mounted behind the front bumper, together with a reinforced frame that extends to the front. Behind the cab lies a heavy Maxistab outrigger beam. Then offcourse the crane offers 2 large outriggers and the last 2 are mounted on swivveling arms at the back of the chassis.
|
|
Here we have a better view of those 2 outriggers. The can swivvel to the rear hydraulically and provide stability when lifting in that direction.
|
|
A nice crane truck that can, because of the many outriggers, also work good on tight locations. Here we see the front outriggers that are mounted behind the front bumper.
