Klaas is introducing the new and impressive K1100 RSX mobile aluminum crane

German crane and aerial lift manufacturer Klaas has released its latest innovation – the Klaas K1100 RSX. The model is a truck-mounted aluminum crane that boasts many market-leading qualities such as a maximum lifting height of 60m and a bearish 6000kg in lifting capacity.

As one of the larger Klaas truck cranes the K1100 impresses with a maximum hook load of 6000 kg and a winch capacity of 2500 kg. All this with a maximum outrigger width of less than 6 m. Making it ideal in tight construction situations where space is limited and loads needs to be lifted with a long reach.

This new model is equipped with a hydraulic telescopic fly jib, double derricking cylinders, TFR boom system, twin luffing cylinders, crane control system, telescopic winch, separate diesel motor drive concept, extendable counterweight and much more. Features as radio remote control, personal safety mode, 360 degrees continuous rotation, and automatic leveling come as standard. The hybrid drive is available as an option allowing the machine to be more environmentally-friendly and more fuel-efficient.

The maximum lifting height of 60 m allows for the K1100 to shine in most challenges as it sets new standards in the segment of mobile cranes with an aluminum boom. In regards to the working range; a load of 2000 kg can be transported 23 m, a load of 1000 kg can be transported 35 m and a load of 500 kg can be transported 45 meters. Unique for these performance values is that the maximum outrigger width is less than 6 m.

Jurgen Vater, CEO of Kranlyft Group comments: ”Klaas keeps taking major steps forward in their development. This release gives us a strong indication of their direction for the future – and it looks bright. The K1100 is a perfect example of a mobile crane that can have limited ground base without having to forego immense reach values.”

Klaas started to develop lifts back in the ’50s, the first aluminum crane was built in 1993 and from there the company has grown to be one of the market leaders in the segment. Today their products include trailer and mobile cranes alongside elevating work platforms, construction and furniture lifts, as well as rescue vehicles for the fire service.
