Precision in the wind Wind influences the movement of the jib. The wind force moment control automatically holds the jib in position. No countering is required. Large area loads (for example shuttering panels) can therefore be moved and held precisely even in wind. That enables you to avoid unsafe situations. Keep your load under control High-speed slewing movements can cause loads to swing. The integral oscillation damping system automatically compensates. A major step to enhancing safety on site.

The success of your site The areas of use for the 53 K extend from multi-occupancy housebuilding to use for industrial projects. Due to its enormous adaptability with 7 different hook heights, its 20° raised jib position and its 45° position to avoid obstacles, the 53 K is ready for any site. Jobs under high-voltage cables or inside buildings are also possible due to its telescoping tower. Ensure the success of your site yourself!

Range with carry The jib can be adjusted individually in 4 lengths between 28.0 and 40.0 metres. Benefit from the adjusted lifting capacity curves. Initial hook height: 23.8 m The right hook height Your crane will adjust perfectly to your project with its variable hook heights. High building projects, multiple slewing cranes or obstacles such as high voltage cables – with its 7 hook heights between 15.8 and 31.0 m, the 53 K will tackle any situation. Obstacles or high destinations Using the 20° raised jib position you can increase the hook height as high as 43.1 m. The 53 K can easily avoid obstacles...

Peerless drive units and control systems Powerful and sensitive The powerful yet sensitively controllable hoist unit is the main requirement for high handling capacity and safe operation. We designed and developed it ourselves specially for this construction crane. For the very first time in a fast-erecting crane in this class, the hoist unit will raise and lower all loads at infinitely adjustable speeds. Whether you require the precision positioning of loads at micro-speed or maximum hoist speeds of up to 89 m/min, the intelligent ventilation system cools the drive unit to keep it at perfect...

Sensitive slewing The FC slewing gear on the 53 K features a particularly sensitive control system. You can only achieve a high handling capacity if you can move loads quickly and precisely to the destination. High trolley travelling speed The progressive, stepless control system moves the load without swinging. Combine sensitive positioning with high trolley travelling speeds of up to 52 m/min. Hoist speed Hoist speeds of up to 89 m/min make high handling capacities possible Electrical power connection Energy supply using an easily accessible connection on the undercarriage Switchgear cabinet...

The external cabin Not every site needs a cabin. Its external cabin makes the 53 K even more flexible. The cabin can be installed quickly and easily when required. Its position makes it easy and safe to access. The cabin also provides a perfect view of the site. That enables you to increase capacity and safety on site.

Clear view The new cabin with its ergonomic controls provides the crane driver with space and enables him to work efficiently without fatigue. The external cabin provides an unrestricted clear view of the site. Everything safely under control You can control the crane easily from the cabin using the integral control desk. The full control lever deflection distance is available at all times to provide safe and precise control. Remote control Compact, lightweight remote control for the crane Mounting the cabin Safely and easily by the crane itself Raised control stand for a better view

Have a good trip Dream dimensions Despite its unique initial hook height of 23.8 metres, the 53 K is compact and highly manoeuvrable to transport. It is moved as a complete, ready-to-erect unit and can therefore be quickly readied for use. Its small wheelbase of 5.7 m makes the 53 K very manoeuvrable and easy to drive even over uneven surfaces.

The choice is yours The modular axle system of high speed and low speed axles or in the form of a semi-trailer provides the ideal transport system for every site. Existing axles can also be used. Transport speeds of up to 80 km/h are possible. 80 High embankment angle The folding erection frame enables the 53 K to achieve an embankment angle of 16°, which means around 1.7 metres of ground clearance. Variable slewing radius Simple, fast reduction of ballast volume to 24 t with a slewing radius of 3.2 m. Tower sections on truck Easy to transport on a truck due to its ideal packing dimensions of...

Quickly ready to start work Sites are becoming smaller and smaller with less and less space. Constricted jib assembly in the air requires very little erection space and can take place above obstacles up to 17.5 metres in height. The complete erection process is carried out by a sophisticated erection kinematic system using rope. It is even possible in extremely low temperatures.
