RSSHiab says that its new XS 177K mid-range application crane is a 17tonne/metre unit designed to meet the needs of drop and go transport companies. It suits deliveries of building materials to sites where a high load-cycle speed and high precision are needed. Available in remote-controlled (HiPro) or manually controlled (Pro) versions, the crane offers fast and efficient movement of bricks and blocks packaged on standardised pallets.

The firm claims that the new HIAB XS 177 HiPro remote-controlled crane offers speed and precision. The long first boom and chain-driven extensions are said to offer fast load cycle times compared to other products available. The boom can quickly extend to maximum reach, yet has a close-in lifting height of more than 3m, to easily move all the pallets on the vehicle, even those close to the crane column. The Pro model's control levers are connected straight onto the hydraulic valve, giving the operator a much more direct feeling, to allow him to work quickly and safely. The HiPro control system lets the operator remotely operate the crane from a distance, as needed. A number of innovations are said to make the crane easy to operate. A high seat gives the operator a good view of the work area.
