erection. It can be towed to site with a drawbar trailer at 25kph or on a semi-trailer at motorway speeds of 80kph.
HEAVY AND ELECTRIC On many housebuilding projects, delivery of materials directly to where they will be used is key to efficient operations. Knuckleboom cranes offer the
ability to deliver loads from the truck to the installation site. Larger capacity models allow for the direct installation of components
such as roof trusses. Hiab has recently launched
two new models in its Effer heavy loader series: the iQ.950 HP, and the super heavy iQ.1400 HP. The first model offers a 90tm
capacity. It makes use of the V12- Power dodecagonal – 12 sided – boom profile developed for Effer’s latest cranes. Hiab describes the iQ.950 HP as a multi-purpose crane suitable for a wide range of vertical and horizontal lifting jobs, that be performed safely and precisely at high speed.

The crane has been optimised
for use on smaller trucks. Marcel Boxem, Hiab’s vice president, sales and product management, loader cranes heavy and super heavy, says, “The new Effer models provide our customers with efficient loader cranes that increase both payload capacity and lifting performance, thanks to our engineering and technological advancements. They offer the same performance as bigger models but can be installed on smaller and more cost-conscious trucks. This is another milestone to cope with our customer demand to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance their operations in urban areas.” The larger model – the Effer iQ
1440 HP – offers a lifting capacity of 135tm, with a V10 decagonal boom. The focus here is on reach. The crane has a maximum vertical reach of 39.5m and can be supplied with a 26tm jib. This allows the crane to perform ‘up- and-over’ lifts to a radius of 26m. The boom can be used at an angle of up to 83°, making it suitable for work in constricted urban environments. “Customers will be able to
experience a whole new level of heavy load lifting, with a crane that excels in vertical reach of over 39 metres,” Boxem says. “The engineering, combined with a CombiDrive4 remote control from Olsbergs, gives operators unprecedented precision even at high heights. The 135tm range delivers performances similar to bigger segment cranes. The smaller frame makes it suitable for installations on smaller trucks and provides plenty of payload, not normally seen in this segment.” Both cranes feature Hiab’s
new SPACEevo control system, for safe and precise operation. The Load Stability System for vertical movements
