Discover Standard Features

Long-Lasting Coating for Maximum Protection

Advanced coating technology protects components against corrosion, wear, and harsh weather conditions. Multi-stage surface treatment and durable, eco-friendly coatings create a tough, elastic finish with high impact and UV resistance. This extends service life, maintains a high-quality appearance, and preserves resale value while reducing environmental impact and long-term maintenance effort.

Optional Features

Radio Remote Control – Full Control

Radio remote control system operates the crane safely and efficiently from a distance. Operator commands are transmitted wirelessly delivering precise hydraulic movements. This enables clear visibility of the load, one-person operation, and allows work outside danger zones. Adjustable controls, speed settings, and built-in safety shutoffs improve comfort, accuracy, and overall job site safety.

Rope Winch – Controlled Vertical Lifting

Rope winch enables precise vertical lifting and lowering of loads, even at long reach or great height. Integrated into the crane control system, it allows smooth, controlled movements and accurate positioning. Assisted functions improve safety, reduce load swing, and expand lifting applications where vertical handling, fine control, or high placement accuracy are required.
