Truck Cranes

Böcker crane technology impresses with its uncompromising durability. We only use high-quality materials and components and our cranes are subject to regular endurance testing during which, for example, the extension and outrigger rams, chassis and wire ropes have to prove their worth. For maximum planning security, you can request a guarantee of up to 5 years on your Böcker crane.

Due to the high value stability of the cranes, we offer more than cost calculation reliability and investment security. You also benefit from outstanding cost-effectiveness thanks to low operating and maintenance costs.

Our decades of experience in lightweight construction mean we manufacture mast and extension systems from an optimum combination of high-strength fine-grain steels and aluminium alloys. You will benefit from the closed mast system, which guarantees maximum stability, torsional rigidity and safety. The energy carrier is installed internally in both the boom and the jib and is protected from external influences or damage.

We also use a tried-and-tested principle for extending the mast, using hydraulic cylinders combined with chains or ropes. This ensures smooth, jerk-free extension even when lifting heavy weights at flat mast positions.

The state-of-the-art Böcker crane control system enables extremely smooth, precise and low-vibration working conditions. It also prevents the load from getting stuck, ensures smooth start-up and precise control of all crane functions. Several functions can be controlled simultaneously during operation, which makes Böcker cranes extremely efficient and intuitive to work with.

Countless software features in the foreground and background ensure user comfort and operational reliability. These include automatic set-up with self-levelling and reach display in live mode, rotation and erection angle restriction, switching between fast and creep speed and the go-home function. The latest generation of control technology also includes independent rope tracking and point-to-point travel.

All Böcker truck cranes can be controlled intuitively and easily via radio remote control with a large full-colour graphic display. It visualises all work processes in one operating mode. The user-friendly, clear visualisation of the operating situation is supported by self-explanatory pictograms. The constantly updated reach display enables the crane to be optimally positioned, even during its assembly.

The radio remote control displays sensor values for diagnostics and the fuel or battery level as standard. An optional hook camera with image transfer to the display is available to ensure the operator has the best possible view of the working area. Alternatively, a second crane operator can take over control using a second radio transmitter via transfer control.

With Böcker outrigger technology, each individual outrigger can be extended variably via the radio remote control. A reach preview during outrigger positioning helps the operator to optimise crane set-up. Thanks to the flexible installation and ideal system geometry, every available centimetre is utilised – a decisive advantage in confined spaces.

The practical self-levelling function ensures that the crane can be set up quickly and safely. In addition, electronic monitoring of the outrigger position and automatic release of the safe working area guarantee stability at all times. Thanks to the large outrigger reach, Böcker truck cranes offer the highest possible ground clearance and can overcome even major uneven surfaces.

The model’s uniquely small slewing radius of the a-frame without extendible counterweights means it can be used with outriggers on one side and ongoing road traffic on the other. Böcker cranes support the lifting of loads of all kinds, even in confined spaces in large cities or residential areas.

The transport state of the crane corresponds to its set-up condition. The truck crane does not require any ballasting or conversion after arriving on site and work can be safely started without delay.

The BöckerConnect digital portal provides you with online information about all relevant data for your networked cranes. It stores the current status, master and performance data as well as statistics on the usage behaviour of each crane. In addition, the current crane position can be viewed at any time and an anti-theft alarm can be configured via geofencing.

The crane has an integrated remote maintenance module for data collection. Continuously transmitted diagnostic data enables differentiated remote maintenance and substantiated technical support from Böcker customer service. The module also offers a fault memory, enables operation simulations and planning via Böcker Liftplanner and includes a weather API.

Böcker truck cranes generally operate without separate auxiliary units. The proven single-motor concept for the truck, crane and platform reduces fuel consumption as well as lowering operating costs and maintenance costs. And this is in addition to the convenient handling: one tank, one fuel, one refuelling process.

The single-motor concept offers maximum reliability and more than enough power reserves in all operating situations. The battery-operated emergency operation guarantees functionality, even if the motor fails. In platform operation, no additional noise is generated by an additional drive unit.

Böcker setzt auf die Reduzierung des CO2-Ausstoßes durch Elektroantriebe und bietet eine große Auswahl an Alternativen zum Verbrennungsmotor. Die E-Motoren arbeiten leise sowie abgasfrei und gleichzeitig gewohnt kraftvoll, sodass mehrere Kranfunktionen gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden können.

Die meisten Böcker Autokrane sind als Hybrid mit einem 400 V E-Motor zusätzlich zum PTO-Nebenantrieb des LKWs erhältlich. Durch die einstellbare Absicherung (32 A / 63 A) nutzt der Kran immer die maximal verfügbare Stromstärke. Mit dem eReady-Kit kann der Kran für die spätere Nachrüstung eines E-Antriebs vorbereitet werden. Alternativ gibt es den AK 37e als Hybridkran mit Akku und praktischer 230 V Ladetechnik für die Haushaltssteckdose. Rein elektrisch fahren und arbeiten Sie mit dem AK 48e, der als Elektrokran den E-PTO des LKWs nutzt.

Thanks to the Easy-Lock system, all Böcker truck cranes can be quickly converted into a fully-fledged aerial work platform in a few simple steps and without tools. Depending on the application and crane model, you can choose between different access platforms with payloads from 200 to 600 kg. The PK 600-D access platform, which can be hydraulically extended to a width of up to 3.5 m and rotated by 440°, offers maximum flexibility. As the platform can remain attached for manoeuvrability, the work platform can be quickly repositioned.

For maximum working comfort, every Böcker access platform is equipped with automatic levelling and a working power supply as standard. The on-board electrical system is used to generate electricity, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor.

In addition to the platform mode, the personnel safety mode also considerably expands the possible uses of a Böcker crane. In this operating mode, any truck crane can be used for fall protection when working at height. A securing device is attached to the load hook, which connects the person on the roof to the crane via a wire rope within a certain radius of action.

This feature is ideal for the short-term protection of roofers, carpenters, or tradesmen at lofty heights without the time-consuming erection of scaffolding.
