Mobile Aluminium crane with a lifting capacity of 6 tonnes rolls out by German Crane & Aerial lift manufacturer Klaas

The German crane and aerial lift manufacturer Klaas has launched its fresh innovation, the Klaas K1100 RSX truck-mounted aluminium crane.

The innovation will be considered as one of the largest Klaas truck cranes, with a maximum lifting capacity of 6 tonnes, a winch capacity of 2.5 tonnes and the highest lifting height of 60 metres. The maximum outrigger width is less than 6 metres, overall making it an ideal for construction sites, where space is limited.

In regards to the working range; a load of 2000kg can be lifted at 23m, 1000kg at 35m and 500kg at 45m.

This new model is equipped with a hydraulic telescopic Y jib, double derrick cylinders, TFR boom system, twin lung cylinders, crane control system, telescopic winch, separate diesel motor drive concept, extendable counterweight and much more.

 The features such as radio remote control, personal safety mode, 360° continuous rotation, and automatic levelling which come as standardized practice.

The hybrid drive is available as an option, allowing the machine to be more environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient.

Jurgen Vater, CEO of Kranlyft Group, said: “Klaas keeps taking major steps forward in their development. This release gives us a strong indication of their direction for the future—and it looks bright. The K1100 is a perfect example of a mobile crane that can have limited ground base without having to forego immense reach values.”

Jonas Gadolin, technical director at Kranlyft Group added: “This exciting new model is a strong addition to our range of larger truck cranes. And as always with machines from Klaas, you can rely on high-performance and great quality. The K1100 is truly an innovative piece of German engineering and we are looking forward to delivering the first orders. As a dealer that works in parallel with the market, we can see how these types of mobile cranes keep ending new ways of use. Easy manoeuvrability and comfortable handling are combined with the enormous reach of the aluminium boom.”
