This Scania R480 is working at Martens in Best (NL) since 2007. It was the 1st Effer 1750 for the Netherlands. |
|
This Scania R480 8x4 was converted by Beers to a 10x4 by adding a 10 tons steered rear axle. This gives it a allowed weight of 47 tons in the Netherlands. The own weight will probably be around 38 tons, so some load can still be transported.
|
|
Here you can see clearly the size of the Effer 1750, more than a cabe lenght is needed to fold it down.
|
|
A large flatbed is installed behind the crane, which currently holds the glas suction attachment. The subframe was built rather wide, which helped in keeping the flatbed height low.
|
|
On this side of the truck they mounted cabinets and boxes for all the lifting equipment.
|
|
The truck was working here at a newly constructed house. The windows had to be installed, a rather common job for Martens. This Effer 1750 is the 8S version that can lift 5,38 tons at 19,72 meters.
|
|
With the 6S jib the outreach is increased to 31,89 meters with 1550 kg capacity. During this job they also used 1 manual extension of the jib, this gives it about 2 meters of extra outreach. The crane couldn't be placed closer to this side of the house, so the outreach of the crane had to be used for this job.
|
|
The plate of glass is being lifted with the vacuum clamp at the jib of the Effer. It is lifted as closely to the house as possible.
|
|
Inside the house stands a Hoeflon C6 crane. That also has got a vacuum clamp as attachment and now takes over the plate from the Effer. Here it has already taken over the glass and will now position it correctly into the house.
|
|
This is the Hoeflon C6, a dutch product and a very handy tool for work in cramped locations.
|
|
After the work is done, the crane is folded down to a very compact size and driven out of the house. The maximum capacity of the C6 is 3 tons. The base boom extends to 9,25 meters and can lift up to 510 kg there. With the jib it can lift 211 kg at 13,7 meters.
|
|
In transport position it is only 1,77 meters heigh and 1,05 meters wide. With the tracks at the narrow position, the width can also become 0,75 meters. A very handy piece of equipment for these special jobs!
