UNIC Cranes Europe has announced the launch of two new UNIC mini spider cranes which feature a new telescoping luffing jib / searcher hook. These new models build on the features of the existing URW-546 and URW-295 cranes and feature four new attachments.
The new telescoping luffing jib / searcher hook of the URW-546-2 offers a maximum capacity of 850kg, a jib extension range of 2.4m to 5.6m. It has a luffing range of -10° to 60° offsets and a max lifting height of 22.8m and a maximum working radius of 17m.
The new telescoping luffing stub jib attachment can be installed with either a positive or negative offset, offering a maximum capacity of 850kg and a hydraulic extension range of 2.4m to 4.0m, a luffing range of -10° to 60° offsets, a max lifting height of the crane to 21.5m, and a working radius of 15.3m. When in the reversed position the lifting point can be positioned within 75mm of any obstacle, making it suitable for closer lifting under soffits and overhangs.
A new heavy duty rhino hook attachment fits directly to the main boom head. It has a maximum lifting capacity of 1500kg and a offset range of 0°, 20°, 40° & 60°.
The new UNIC URW-295-2, builds upon the proven features of the URW-295 and introduces four innovative attachments, enhancing its versatility for diverse lifting applications.
The new telescoping luffing jib / searcher hook has a maximum capacity of 750kg, a jib extension range of 1.2m to 2.8m, a luffing range of -10° to 60° offsets, a maximum lifting height of 12.5m, and a working radius of 8.7m.
The UNIC URW-546-2 and URW-295-2 are both equipped with the RaycoWylie i4500 safe load indicator system. Both these models can be upgraded to the UNIC Cranes Europe variable outrigger/footprint system for a more flexible working footprint.
The new heavy duty rhino hook attachment fits directly to the main boom head, has a maximum lifting capacity of 995kg and a offset range of 0°, 20°, 40° and 60°
Graeme Riley, CEO of UNIC Cranes Europe, said: “We have been working closely with UNIC Furukawa in Japan to develop the latest UNIC Cranes range in response to customer demand. Complimenting the existing fleet these new additions maintain unrivalled performance and reliability while introducing increased flexibility and usability for a diverse range of applications.
