CITY CRANES Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
“When it is not busy on
tight confined jobs customers also use the CR-130Rv for timber house construction or inside warehouses and manufacturing facilities. It’s also popular for areas where road access is tight as the CR-130Rv is only 1.89 metres wide.” An alternative for narrow and
hard-to -access sites is the spider crane. Bolster, however, says the city crane can prove the better solution. “The mobile element to the CR-130Rv gives it an advantage over the spider crane category,” he explains. “This is because the CR-130Rv can travel from job to job under its own power; unlike the spiders it does not need a truck to transport it.” Hence if offers a saving in

Lee Lifting’s Kato CR130-Rv lifts a swim spa over a house
money and also in inner-city congestion. Because it has a gross weight of less than 14,000kg the CR-130Rv can be much less invasive in those environments and much less likely to cause surface or ground damage. “Our CR-130Rv is fitted with the latest Stage V compliant engine but we also offer a power pack as an optional extra which can be quickly installed to the rear of the crane,” Bolster continues. “This gives customers the option of a plug-in version. It has a fully powered 24m main boom and, as standard, two winches, a hydraulic fly jib, a three-tonne searcher hook and remote outrigger set-up with auto self-levelling. “The CR-130Tv has a big brother in the form of the
25-tonne Kato CR-250Rv, which is also available in Europe, and is as equally as popular as the CR-130Rv.
“It has all of the features of
the CR-130Rv plus, for example, an aerial mounting for the fly jib which allows it to be fitted in a really small working area. The jib telescopes and offsets hydraulically. As with all Kato city cranes main booms are fully powered with full lifting capacities while telescoping in and out.” So the city has the crane
that suits it, which should leave both city authorities and crane operators happy. Its electric evolution represents a pivotal advancement in the lifting industry, especially in urban environments where space is
