Crane-to-roof solution with Stramit

A manufacturer of steel building products, Stramit, has launched the crane-to-roof solution – a roofing product delivery truck and mounted crane in one.
The HIAB XS 288 E8 HiDuo crane is mounted on a Volvo FM 8×4 with a 13.5m trailer.
It has been designed for residential, multi-residential and light commercial building projects, as well as hard to access locations such as narrow sites. The compact and efficient design of the vehicle can get close to the building site, eliminating the need for a separate crane to be set-up on site. With the product arriving at the same time as the crane there’s no need to coordinate delivery times, thus saving on handling the product, and in turn reducing possible product damage.
This crane-to-roof unit is designed to reach a height of 23 metres, and will lift a maximum sheet length of 18 metres, and a maximum load of two tonnes. Its stabiliser legs at the rear and on the sides of the unit, which are for stability only makes the unit suitable for nearly all worksites with an under five-degree slope. Set up times are reduced with the stabiliser legs being fully engaged within five minutes. Once in position, the unit is ready to lift the Stramit roofing product within 15-20 minutes.
The company says it has safe and reliable fully trained crane operators who utilise wireless technology to best position product into the desired location, increasing safety and efficiency.
