Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Company, known as XCMG, says its fourth-generation XCT30 on show at INTERMAT 2012 marks a “new level” of the firm’s truck crane manufacturing.

Zoomlion is now offering a novel new tower crane model that complies will all CE requirements. This is the first crane model Zoomlion has developed following its acquisition of a German specialist in 2011. Lifting capacity is said to be good for this class of machine, which offers high performance and productivity and also comes with an array of safety features. The crane structure is said to be extremely strong and able to cope with repeated load cycles, allowing a long working life.

The Zoomlion HCC-80 is the latest edition to its crawler crane range. Weighing in at 72.5tonnes, GCS says the HCC-80 is easy to transport, and is among the first in the industry to meet ANSI standards for safe operation. The crane is also said to be ideal for general construction, bridgework and pile driving applications, as well as oil refinery and power plant work.

A new truck mounted articulated platform with increased capacity up to 300kg and 21metre working height with 10metre outreach is being launched by CTE at Intermat 2012. The ZED 21 JH, part of the firm’s established ZED line, is said to be an evolution of the ZED 21 J with a redesigned boom that is more compact and parallel to the articulated arm. The new model’s jib inclination has been increased from 110 ° to 145 °, its controls are tilted towards the operator to improve visibility and ease of use, and the

Unveiled as a prototype at SAIE, Italy in October 2010, the compact 340AJ boom lift can cope with grades and break-over angles up to 45° allowing it to drive on slopes and up ramps. Built to a working height of 12.35metres and with a horizontal outreach of 6.07metres, the 340AJ is said by JLG to meet demands for a broad range of applications. The jib extends to 1.2metres with near vertical operation. When ground conditions get tough, proper off-road performance is ensured by the standard oscillating axle an

The 1500SJ is said by manufacturers JLG to be the first straight boom lift that elevates operators to 45.72metres and requires only a weight permit for transport. The telescoping jib, which can extend up to 7.62metres, provides flexibility and what is said to be “exceptional” horizontal and vertical reach. As with all JLG Ultra Booms, the 1500SJ delivers dual 450kg/230kg capacity and three steering modes. Among its features is an LCD display communications machine to assist operators in positioning the plat

JLG’s diesel-powered 510AJ boom lift, with a working height of 17.81metres, is said by the American firm to be specifically designed and produced for the European market, providing high level access with a spacious work platform. The machine is said to be ideal for use in confined locations and can be set up and re-positioned quickly in narrow, compact spaces. Other work can carry on around it relatively undisturbed due to low sound levels while operating.

Scanclimber claims to have developed the world’s first callable multipurpose hoist. Triple Hoist, being exhibited by the Finnish firm at Intermat, is said to be lightweight and deployable in three different ways – as a material hoist; a transport platform; or as a personnel hoist. Scanclimber says Triple Hoist has been specifically designed for smaller building projects, making them ideal for rental and scaffolding companies. Because of its multipurpose use, fast installation and value price, Scanclimber cl

The diesel-operated Liftlux 245-25 by JLG is well-known, like the rest of the Liftlux range, for its extremely rigid and stable triple-arm scissor, giving the operator a comfortable work environment, even when the lift is elevated at full height. Because of the model’s 500kg platform capacity and large roll-out deck that extends the platform to 5.40metres, it’s said by JLG to offer an ideal solution for use around jobsites when heavy units have to be installed at great height overhead.

Ruthmann will be launching the first model of its new Height Performance series of aerial platforms during Intermat 2012. The Steiger T460 features a 46metre working height mounted onto a two-axle truck chassis with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) from 18tonnes to 21tonnes
