Marcel Boxem, director, Heavy range, loader cranes said: "These cranes have been designed for performance. The new hydraulic and electronic systems make control of the cranes smoother, more accurate, and faster than ever before, and the new damping system creates a very stable, gentle performance when lifting. Our new control valve delivers much higher oil flows, which gives significant improvements in speed, and the new base design halves the time it takes to set the crane up for a lift."

"The 548 and 638 are excellent working at long range, both vertically and horizontally, thanks to the long boom system with optional jib for additional reach. The 658 is a short boom version with an optimised capacity to weight ratio. It is particularly well suited for heavy lifting close to the truck bed, and allows a heavier payload due to its relatively low weight and compact design," added Sergio Peiró, product manager, Heavy range cranes.

These new models demonstrate our ongoing commitment to developing products that are perfectly matched to our customers' needs for safety and cost efficiency. We are delighted with the customer response we have received so far."
