AK 48 / AK 48e

The AK 48e is available as a purely electric crane that operates via the E-PTO of an electric carrier vehicle. Alternatively, the AK 48 is also available as a 26-tonne truck with a conventional diesel PTO or as a hybrid with an additional 400 V electric motor.

As a fully electric truck crane, the AK 48e is completely battery-powered as it travels to the job site. It also works purely electrically in crane and platform operation via the E-PTO. Thanks to its powerful battery capacity, the e-crane can cover distances of around 300 kilometres without stopping to charge. The battery is recharged from 20 to 80 % in about 75 minutes.

The powerful outrigger technology raises the truck crane by 85 cm. Thanks to its high ground clearance, the AK 48 is extremely stable in all locations and even on sloping ground.

The AK 48 carries loads a long way, as well as overcoming major obstacles. For example, it can lift a weight of one tonne up to 28.5 m and at the same time reaches an enormous working height of 31 m.

The option of setting up the mast completely perpendicular to the carrier vehicle saves space and is a decisive advantage when working close to the façade.

Thanks to the heavy-duty jib joint, the crane can align the jib at right angles to the mast. This opens up new possibilities, for example when extending loads.

Thanks to the straight jib position at 180° to the mast, the crane gains additional height so it can reach even beyond the building.

The AK 48 has a strong aluminium jib as standard, which can be hydraulically extended to 14 m under load. It can carry a weight of one tonne even in the horizontal and fully extended position.

In just a few simple steps, the AK 48 becomes a fully-fledged aerial work platform. It is designed for attachment of all current Böcker access platforms with load capacities of up to 600 kg.
