The lightest hookloader on the market
A weight-optimised design and lightweight mounting parts deliver the best payload capacity in its class on 3.5–5.5 t trucks. The result: more load per trip and better efficiency on every job.
Versatile for urban use
The CITY is suited to construction, gardening, road maintenance and waste management. A small chassis and low transport height let it operate in tight urban environments where larger hookloaders can't go.
Low maintenance
Greasing-free axes and self-lubricating composite bearings cut down on daily maintenance. Long service life and environmentally friendly operation, even in fleets with frequent driver changes.
Technical Specifications
The cranes shown in the brochure may be partly equipped with optional equipment and do not always correspond to the standard versions. Country-specific regulations must be observed. Dimensions may vary. Subject to technical changes, errors and translation errors.
