Can the crane run on electric power?

How do I select the right lifting capacity?
Use the rated load at the stated radius and the load chart for the selected boom and outrigger configuration. The class designation is not a guarantee of capacity at maximum reach.
Are engine emissions suitable for my country?
Engine emissions vary by configuration. Confirm engine documentation and destination requirements before ordering; an engine specification does not establish certification for the complete machine.
