With the 360° Height Days 2026, Böcker once again impressively demonstrated in mid-June just how powerful and versatile modern lifting technology is. Numerous national and international customers, dealers, and business partners accepted the invitation to the company headquarters in Werne to experience the latest innovations in crane, hoist, and rack-and-pinion technology firsthand, test the machines themselves, and get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the company.
NeXt Generation and Award-Winning Crane Technology
From truck cranes and trailer cranes to inclined hoists and rack and pinion hoists, visitors were able to see firsthand the added value these machines offer in daily construction site operations. There was particularly strong interest in the new NeXt Generation cranes. With the AHK 36e X trailer crane and the AK 37 X truck crane, Böcker presented two machines that open up new possibilities for flexible applications thanks to their dual hydraulically extendible jibes. The combination of long range, increased working height, and easy adaptation to different construction site conditions clearly demonstrated how closely Böcker aligns its technology with user requirements. Another highlight was the AK 48e, which was named “Product of the Year 2026” and impressively underscores the shift toward electric drive technology.
Basket Rides with a View
Guests were not only able to view the exhibited machines up close but also experience many of the new innovations in action. The basket rides on the truck-mounted and trailer cranes provided a special experience, as visitors were lifted to lofty heights far above the factory grounds. The Super-Lift MX 2024 rack and pinion hoists also offered an impressive bird’s-eye view from their platform.
New Logistics Center Officially Inaugurated Another
highlight of the 360° Height Days was the official inauguration of the new logistics center at the Werne site. During factory tours, guests gained exclusive insights into the cutting-edge new building with automated racking technology and, at the same time, learned about the company’s high level of vertical integration.
Service, Training, and Safety
The Böcker Service Team also used the event to showcase its comprehensive range of services. Maintenance, repairs, inspections, and training are crucial factors when it comes to long-term operational reliability and cost-effectiveness. Interest in the on-site consulting services was correspondingly high. In addition, participants had the opportunity to attend an annual training session free of charge and refresh their knowledge on the safe operation of crane technology.
Networking and Cooling Off in Midsummer Heat
In addition to the product presentations, the event was characterized above all by personal interactions. Amid midsummer heat, delicious catering, and cool drinks, visitors and the Böcker team took the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions in a relaxed atmosphere. Nail beams, a crane game, and foosball provided entertainment and a lively atmosphere. The water-filled tipping baskets offered a particularly welcome way to cool off, allowing many guests to refresh themselves and take a brief break from the summer heat. The party on Friday evening served as a festive conclusion to two successful days of events and underscored the great significance of the 360° Höhentage. They serve as a meeting place for the industry and a strong symbol of the partnership between Böcker and its customers both domestically and abroad.
