For more than 50 years, Böcker Maschinenwerke in Werne, Germany have developed and manufactured lifting technology solutions that set standards in safety and efficiency. In 1989, Böcker, as the inventor of aluminium cranes, introduced a new crane technology in lightweight design for the first time at the Roof + Wall trade fair. For more than 25 years now, this technology has not only proven to be helpful in the roofing and carpentry trade, but is also a real competitive advantage.
The AK 35/3000 is one of the top models of the compact aluminium cranes. With a permissible total weight of 7.49 tons (depending on the type of truck), this machine has a maximum load capacity of 3 tons – and can be operated with a normal driving license. Therefore, flexible personnel deployment is given.
With its comparatively low dead weight, the truck-mounted crane guarantees excellent driving properties and at the same time it has a large lateral range, such that the unloading points of the roof tile pallets can be freely chosen on the building site, for example Böcker has used aluminium in combination with a particularly high-performance steel for its powerful trailer cranes since they were added to the comprehensive program in 1997.
They can be transported to the place of use with a suitable passenger vehicle. With a total weight of 3.5 tons, the AHK 34/1800, for example, offers an extension length of 34 metres, a lateral range of up to 27 metres and a load capacity of 1,800 kilograms. It is therefore an alternative to the aluminium truck-mounted crane, particularly for smaller companies.
Michael Sendermann from the marketing department says that their cranes are unique for the African environment because they are very lightweight and made of Aluminum and for this reason people can use them nearly everywhere. He further says that they have sold their inclined construction lifts and rack/pinion hoists in South Africa.
