Here it stands on Kristensen's yard, together with the Scania R124 with Effer 1750L (which in the meantime is sold).

The Volvo FH16 has gotten a conversion by OA Opbyg. It was originally a fully air-suspended 6x4 with planetary drives and got converted to an 8x4. A additional air-suspended front axle was installed. It was installed in this tactical place for weight distribution and to provide enough room for the outriggers that don't have to be tilted now. This way it is always possible to lower the outrigger, even when there is no room to extend the leg.

The FH16 is equiped with a heavy Effer 1750L that extends 8x hydraulically and has a 6x extending jib with 2 manual extensions. To get a stable setup, it has 2 regular outriggers at the rear and a additional set that extends from the back.

The next day we could photograph this machine during a job. Although it was very early in the morning (before the rush hour of the city came) there was enough light to take some good photos. Here it stands on a very central place in the city of Copenhagen. The drawbar trailer has got a large sign on it to warn the traffic for the crane.

The crane was used to hoist goods up to the roof. This means that it could have a very short set of outriggers on the road-side of the job, just enough to get a little bit of stability in this direction. This side houses a big toolbox.

The front outriggers is also used here. The main reason for getting a Volvo chassis under this Effer, and not a Scania like the others, is that a Volvo provides much better ability to reinforce the chassis to the front. This trucks has got a support frame to the front that is about twice as high as the normal chassis. This provides a good capacity of the crane to the front, not 100% but about 80%.

Here we see the entire crane, with 8 extensions on the base crane we already have a height of about 27 meters.

The winch is used via the jib to lift the goods off of the semi-lowloader of Thurah. This picture shows that the short outriggers on this side still leave room for other traffic to pass the crane.

The hanging lights in these streets of Copenhagen are not making the job easier here.

A view from the other side. Here we see that these outriggers are fully extended.

The extra set of outriggers at the back are not used, the crane only turnes to the side and to the front on this job.

A view at the front. This side of the truck holds the dieseltank, it's filling opening can be reached via the flatbed.

Just about a quarter of an hour later the job was done. The crane was also already packed and ready to go to the next job.

As the street side of the building was the place for the Volvo, the inner yard was the place where this crane stood. It's another Effer 1750L of Kristensen, this one is mounted on a Scania R420 8x4.
