UK rental company Staffordshire Crane Hire Ltd has taken delivery of a AK 46/6000 crane.

The AK 46/6000 truck crane completes the existing fleet of Böcker truck cranes, which includes an AK 32/2000, an AK 35/3000, and an AK 44/4000. The AK 46/6000 features an extension length of 44 m plus a two-meter manual extension for a maximum length of 46 m. It can handle its maximum 6,000 kg payloadat a radius of 8 m, 1,000 kg at 26 m or 250 kg at 39 m. Among other great features the “46” comes with a fully hydraulically extendible jib, wireless color remote control, and automatic levelling. As with all Böcker truck-mounted cranes, the positioning of every individual outrigger is fully variable. Mounted on a 26-t carrier the steering axle makes the crane extremely manoeuvrable and furnishes it with excellent driving characteristics.

Andrew Laverie, Managing Director of Staffordshire Crane Hire Ltd, states: “Having already built the business on a foundation of Bӧcker cranes, the logical next step for us was to expand our fleet with the incredibly versatile AK 46/6000. We’re excited to get to work with this powerful machine, which is going to help us continue our development and open up new avenues for us as a business. Having a fleet of lightweight and resilient machines alongside our All-Terrain options allows us to make continuous strides, both in terms of growth and availability. We’re proud to have purchased this brand-new machine, just seven years into our journey and we already look forward to the next one!“
