Managing director Theo Milte said: “We are impressed by the new crane's sophisticated technology and the high level of automation during erection, levelling and operation. The ease of use is outstanding thanks to the intelligent control system - anyone can operate a Böcker crane. What I consider as most impressive detail, is the new boom geometry with tower crane function. We can work very close to the building and telescope much faster.”
“The decisive factor for us is that the crane does not require an extendable counterweight. It delivers maximum performance with minimal superstructure dimensions. It can also work supported on only two sides and requires little space for load distribution.”
