Kranman 960 is our latest novelty. With this machine, we move the level further within the segment and we are incredibly proud of the result.
It is stronger than ever with a four-cylinder 1.5 liter diesel engine from Kubota with a high torque. This, combined with a more powerful drivetrain and the large wheels, gives the machine extreme off-road capabilities. The drivetrain consists of a double rental thermostat in which one pump goes to the front wheels and one goes to the rear wheels, as well as a gear pump for crane and steering. The machine has 6-wheel drive on high and low gear. On the transport gear, it is front-wheel drive.
A machine of this class requires an automatic waist lock. This, together with our automatic parking brake, further streamlines the machine. Waist lock and parking brake are activated when you release the driving pedal. Kranman 960 has a heavy-duty molded waist with well-protective waist lock cylinders and integrated steering cylinders in the reartrailerone.
Most of the development work we have put on the cab. The cab is rubber suspended and foldable with double cabin floors and three insulated torpedo walls facing the engine compartment. This allows us to get a noise level of a very low 76 db at full engine speed. This is far below the requirements for hearing protection and arguably class-leading. Thanks to the spacious cabin and the arched window, you get a very good all-round view. The very comfortable chair is air cushioned in height and flat-cushioned. With the servo levers located in the armrests, you control both the crane and the machine’s control.
