Brand new: BKL CM 301 - the 30 metre roofing crane.

The new BKL CM 301 is specially designed to meet the needs of carpenters and roofers. The mobile fast-erecting crane offers a radius of 30 metres, a hook height of 20.7 metres and a maximum load capacity of 2.5 tonnes. Thanks to the optimised assembly process and the permanently installed low-speed or high-speed axle with combined drawbar and kingpin, it is ready for use on the construction site in no time at all. Like the BKL CM 221A and CM 271, the new addition to our range of roofing cranes can be operated flexibly with 230 or 400 V. Data sheet

Lattice tower cranes: the BKL CM 415 in the 60 tonne-metre category.

The flexible climbing champion: the versatile BKL CM 415 lattice boom crane offers a maximum load capacity of 5 tonnes and a telescopic tower with three hook heights (23.8 / 28.5 / 31.5 metres). There is no need for additional climbing tower sections, making the crane quick and easy to assemble.

If you're looking for a crane with the lifting power of the Potain Hup 40-30, Igo 50, Liebherr 53K or higher, have you considered the BKL CM 415? With a maximum load capacity of 5 tonnes, the bottom-slewing crane can still lift 1.25 tonnes at its radius of 41 metres. Thanks to its short slewing radius of just 2.5 and 3.2 metres respectively, this is the ideal crane for your projects, for example medium-sized residential complexes. Data sheet

Stationary self-erecting cranes with a radius of up to 41 metres.

With a radius of 28 to 41 metres, hook heights of up to 25 metres and up to 4 tonnes load capacity, the BKL System Cattaneo comprises three tried-and-tested, robust, hydraulic fast-erecting cranes – optimal for a single house or small residential complexes.

In the over 30-metre radius category, which includes the Potain Igo 32 and the Liebherr 34K up to Liebherr 53K, it's worth taking a look at the BKL CM 350, CM 300 and CM90S4, for example.

No matter which crane type you choose, all three will save you time and money in terms of installation and lifts. With their hydraulic assembly and space-saving folding system, the BKL System Cattaneo self-erecting cranes are raring to go in next to no time. The 2-fall technology of the hydraulic cranes enables a higher handling rate as they automatically lift with maximum drive speed, depending on the load on the hook. Overview & data sheets

Mobile roofing cranes with a radius of up to 30 metres.

Get started right away. The mobile fast-erecting cranes with a radius of 22, 27 or 30 metres were developed especially for carpenters and roofers. To ensure rapid relocation from one construction site to the next, the cranes are fitted with an integral 25 km/h axle as standard. The flexible roofing cranes are also available with an optional 80 km/h high-speed axle.

With their hydraulic assembly, space-saving folding system and hydraulic support, the BKL CM 301, CM 271 and CM 221A can be installed quickly and easily, ready for action. The 2-fall technology of the hydraulic cranes enables a higher handling rate. And if no power connection is available, the carpenter cranes also work with 230 V as an option. For further information on features and performance data in optional operation with mains power, please contact us for further consultation.
