This is the third Böcker crane purchased by DSM, supplementary to an older AK 44/4000, plus a new 4-axle AK 52 with a maximum payload of 12 t delivered by the end of 2020.
The AK 46/6000 features an extension length of 44 m and a 2 m extension for a maximum length of 46 m. It can handle its maximum 6,000 kg payload at a radius of 8 m, 1,000 kg at 26 m or 250 kg at 39 m. Features include a fully hydraulically extendible jib, wireless color remote control with automatic levelling, and fully variable positioning of every individual outrigger. Mounted on a 26 t carrier the rear-axle steering makes the crane extremely maneuverable and furnishes it with excellent driving characteristics.
Managing Director Melvyn Rogers from DSM said “The new AK 46/6000 went straight to work on a very tight job in London, utilising the variable outriggers to place an air conditioning unit at 30 m radius highlighting the impressive capabilities of this machine. The small slewing radius makes it possible to erect the crane in the smallest of all spaces and with flowing traffic. By using this machine in this location saved the necessity of using a much larger crane and fully closing the stores car park.” Rogers is very pleased with his choice of Böcker machines: “Adding the AK 46/6000 and AK 52 strengthens DSMs position within the bespoke contract lifting and machinery movement market. The Böcker products we buy perfectly complement our fleet in order to continue to offer our customers innovative lifting solutions.”
