Crane Technology Truck, trailer and tracked cranes

Outstanding crane technology The sky is the limit with Böcker innovations Shortly after founding the company in 1958, the master blacksmith Albert Böcker developed his first innovation, the hydraulic inclined lift. This was later followed by the inclined lift with an elbow section. From then on, it was possible for roofers to transport roof tiles comfortably right up to the apex of the roof. Since then, we have been working constantly to improve our products to match the needs of our customers and have repeatedly set new standards in quality and safety in the area of lifting technology....

Quality thanks to decades of experience To be able to develop our crane technology on an ongoing basis, we not only observe the latest technical developments in the market, but also enter into close communication with partners from a wide variety of trades. We do this so we can understand the specific needs of the trade and industry to develop truck cranes, trailer cranes and tracked cranes that not only meet the expectations of our customers, but actually surpass them. Today, our cranes are leading in the field in terms of technology and quality thanks to nearly three decades of experience...

Developed responsibly, reliably and with pride Advantages of the Böcker crane technology Durability and environmental friendliness Böcker crane technology convinces primarily through uncompromising durability. Thus, we only use galvanised steel hydraulic piping. We regularly perform long term load tests with our cranes, during which the telescope and outrigger cylinders, chassis, sliding rails and wire ropes must verifiably prove themselves. Those components that we do not manufacture at our own site, we order from known and reliable manufacturers who offer a world-wide service. Due to the...

*optionally available for some models 02 The Bocker mast and telescope system We manufacture our mast and telescope systems from an optimal combination of highly tensile steel and aluminium alloys, thanks to the decades of experience in consequent light-weight construction. Benefit from our enclosed mast system, which offers you maximum stability, safety and torsional rigidity; and furthermore, it is extremely reliable. And for erecting the mast, we also rely on a long proven combination. Remain on top of every task thanks to the use of hydraulic cylinders in combination with chains or...

Work in very confined spaces thanks to unsurpassed flexibility and safety 03 The Bocker support technology The Bocker support technology lets you extend each individual crane outrigger as far as required and thus every available cm of space can be used - a decisive advantage especially in restricted spaces. This fully variable extension of the outriggers allows you flexible positioning and the optimal erection geometry of your crane, positively influencing the crane reaches. The practical self-levelling function warrants fast and safe erection of the crane, which can be regulated...

Whereby the payload...

TRUCK CRANES An overview of the benefits

Groundbreaking technology thanks to decades of experience and patented expertise in aluminium crane building 08 The drive concept As a matter of principle, Böcker truck cranes always work without separate ancillary drives and, thanks to the well-considered and long-established concept of a single engine for lorry, crane and platform, this not only reduces fuel usage but also operating costs and the maintenance work. This is supplemented by more comfortable handling, one tank, one fuel and one refuelling process. The one engine concept offers the highest failure safety and more than enough...

Low space requirements, higher sustainability 09 Unique design of turret and loading area The uniquely small slewing radius of the turret specific to the model makes it possible to use it supported on one side and with traffic flow. Benefit every day from the low space requirements and use your Böcker truck crane even in the tightest spaces in cities or housing estates. A clever fixation system on the crane structure and on the load bay warrants safe and space-saving transport of your Böcker accessories. Erecting the crane is made easy by the simple fitting of the hook counterweight from...
