Why this build
The crane is an 8 t four-section knuckle boom — one section more than the 6.3 t builds — reaching 9.7 m with a 12.7 m working height. The extra section is what buys the reach, which matters when the load is stacked at the back of a yard. The grab head can be a 3+2 grab or a 4-petal grab.
The tipping body is 3 mm side / 5 mm floor steel with densified cross members and 160/140 channel side-door posts, twin-ram tipping and four tipping seats. No payload figure is stated in the source listing.
A crane-dedicated power take-off and remote throttle are factory-fitted, and the cab carries a 10-inch multimedia display, LED daytime running lights and air conditioning.
Options: Grab head type (3+2 or 4-petal).
