The M300H can also be fitted with a small Palfinger loader crane with up to 8.1 metres hook height and 250kgs capacity. The crane can also be fitted with a single man basket, to provide a working height of around 109 metres.


Ausa’s area manager, Jordi Ródenas, said:
“With this type of vehicle, customers save on maintenance that would otherwise have to be performed on several machines and, in addition, they only need to take out one insurance policy and pay a single motor vehicle tax.”

“City Councils, consortiums and maintenance and service companies in general are some of the sectors most inclined towards using these vehicles, One of the most recent customers to discover the efficiency of this machine is the town council of Bruc (Barcelona) where the ease in switching tools and the enormous versatility of the machine were determining factors in making the decision to buy”.

“In this manner the town council will personally take charge of the management of all the services, from street cleaning to brush removal, along with pruning of trees in the city’s trees, in addition to transporting tools and equipment thanks to the three-sided tipping box and an endless number of possibilities available in just one machine.
