Lighter big Fassi

Italian crane manufacturer Fassi has started shipping the new 160 tonne/metre F2150RAL loader crane, that it announced and displayed at Bauma.

The new F2150RAL extensively uses high strength Strenx 900 and ultra high strength Strenx 1100 steels in the lifting structures of the new crane, which is designed for four axle chassis. The F2150RAL has a maximum lift height of 41.3 metres when equipped with jib and thanks to the Stenx steel is considerably lighter and yet offers better performance than its predecessor.
