Hyva has introduced new big truck-mounted cranes which will extend the Hyva Crane range up to 182 tons.

“The new models – HC951, HC1151 and HC1651 – with lifting capacity class from 105 to 182 tons, are ideal for the Rental Service sector for multipurpose loading activities with specialist driver operators,” explained Davide Catellani, LoB director, cranes. “They also meet the requirements for heavy equipment and materials lifting in the Oil & Gas, Mining, Logistics, Defence and Construction sectors”.

The principal features of the new cranes are:

• Automatic turning stabilizers, hydraulically operated for quick, easy and safe set-up
• Endless slewing rotation system with bearing: the large diameter ball bearings join the lower and upper structures of the crane. Electrical and hydraulic connections pass through a swivel at the centre of the bearing. The presence of the two external gear motors guarantees double slewing torque to operate in rough conditions, always delivering high precision and durability
• Liftrod Articulating System (LAS) which provides constant lifting capacity and efficiency in confined or restricted spaces such as narrow streets on indoor locations
• Extra Extension Speed (EES) and Smart Extension Sequence which facilitates faster operating speed, shorter load/unload cycle times, and more precise and safer operation

The integral base allows the installer to mount the crane directly on the truck frame, reducing the total height of the crane and lowering the centre of gravity of the vehicle. This permits the crane to rotate endlessly in both directions.

All cranes are available in CE (EN12999 Standard) and NOT CE versions, and are equipped with multi-function radio remote control.

One of the cranes, the HC1151 E8, has been displayed at Solutrans, the biennial international trade fair for haulage and urban transport professionals, in Lyon, France, on 21-25 November 2017. The HC1151 (127-ton class) crane, displayed at the exhibition is equipped with 8 hydraulic extensions, allowing a reach of 64 feet. Included is the automatic lubrication system which simplifies the crane maintenance and secures a long value retain. The crane is available with multi-function radio remote control.
