The 7985 Atlas 66.3E is a 66kN folding crane is one of three new cranes on its demonstration truck.

The 66.3E comes with up to four hydraulic extensions for a maximum reach of 11m and has a lifting capacity of up to 2.8tonnes, making it a versatile machine, says Atlas.

The new 152.3 is a folding crane has up to six extensions and a maximum reach of 16.70 m. The usual options are available such as additional functions for grab and grab rotate and various stabilsing widths to ensure excellent stability on even the trickiest of truck platforms.

And last but not least Atlas has the new large construction crane 206 VE which has a reach of up to 14.3m and still safely lifts a load of 1160kg when extended horizontally. At its shortest reach of 2.4m it is still powerful enough to lift 4800kg.

Atlas cranes are available in more than 45 base versions and load capacities.

    Mecalac has introduced a rail-road version of its compact 8MCR crawler excavator. The machine has two sets of hydraulically-lowered rail wheels that use the dozer blade circuit to lift it clear of the tracks. The wheels can be set at 1,000mm, 1,435mm and 1,668mm widths, to suit various European rail networks. Activation of the on-rail function automatically turns on all regulatory lighting, limits the working height of the equipment, limits upper structure rotation and activates a load monitoring system.
