Terex has introduced a new Demag pedestal crane the company says reduces jobsite prep time and allows contractors to access jobsites unreachable by standard crawler models.
The new PC 3800-1 does not require leveling supporting ground across a large area in order to achieve nominal lifting capacity. Instead, only four spots need to be prepared for the outrigger supports and these spots don’t need to be perfectly level. “The outrigger cylinders can compensate some tolerance on the ground’s flatness—up to 2.1 degrees with a 12 x 12 m outrigger base,” Terex says.
The foldable outriggers can be positioned at 12 x 12 and 14 x 14 with Superlift and at 16 x 16 without.
Manitou Americas’ new EDGE Extreme Duty High Reach Tree Clipper features a rugged design and is capable of cutting hardwoods up to 9 inches in diameter, even at ground level, the company says.
The compact loader attachment has longer upper and lower plates that strengthen the clipper head, which has an easy-release feature to keep limbs and trees from wedging between the blades. The clipper also has self-cleaning spacers, self-centering T-1 tempered steel blades, and two extra bars on the mount for added stability.
