Three Unics for Schmidbauer
German crane rental company Schmidbauer has added three Unic spider cranes to its fleet.
The new delivery includes two slightly modified five tonne URW-506 which becomes the B-506-5.2 with 15.7 metre main boom, but 20 metres hook height with the optional jib, and an uprated version of the seven tonne URW-780.2 which is rated as an eight tonne crane at 2.5 metres radius and is renamed the B-780.2, with a 19.5 metre main boom and hook height of 22.8 metres with the locally added jib.
The two B-506-5.2s will be based in Karlsruhe and Nuremberg, while the B-780.2 has gone to the company’s Augsburg branch.

Hey guys
Why not just check out the new Maeda MC815CRME
8 tonne capacity, 1.5 tonne at 25.5 metres lift height. 1000kgs on the searcher and 1000kgs pick and carry. Self propelled , Joystick control, touch screen selection for operation and fully compliant for UK use being as its CE approved and built as an 8 tonne crane not a beefed up lower capacity machine ?

Yes, I am also curious as to why these cranes are not available in the UK.

Tackb I have seen the spec for this uprated version of the 706 available in Germany and have always wondered why it's not available in the UK. Do you know why they won't sell this Crane to the UK?

these are excellent cranes that sadly we can't buy in the uk.
