The AK 48e electric truck crane is Product of the Year 2026

First place for the Böcker AK 48e electric truck crane! In the 2026 Product of the Year reader poll conducted by buildingnet.de, dachbaumagazin, and mikado, the battery-powered truck crane received the most votes in the “Construction Site, Workshop, Occupational Safety” category. 

The AK 48e combines the advantages of electric crane operation with the proven mobility of a carrier vehicle that relies on a separate combustion engine for travel to the job site. Powerful, quiet, and emission-free, the electric crane demonstrates how modern crane technology simplifies daily work on the construction site. It impresses with its highly efficient electric drives, electric winch, energy recovery, and a 30 kWh battery. It is a true endurance performer, designed for a full workday without a power connection or an average operating time of more than eight hours. Short charging times and charging options via 230 V or 400 V, and in the future even at a wallbox, increase flexibility. 

The award confirms that the AK 48e meets the needs of modern construction sites. It combines sustainable, electric crane operation with high power, payloads up to 3 t (opt. up to 6 t), and boom lengths up to 49 m (opt. up to 52 m). With this, Böcker is sending a strong signal for future-oriented crane technology. 

Congratulations to the entire Böcker team and many thanks to everyone who voted for the AK 48e!
