Hiab, part of Cargotec, presented its latest innovation in recycling cranes, the new Jonsered 1500RZ, in connection to the Pollutec exhibition in France.

The new recycling crane is meant for scrap metal handling and heavy duty recycling. “One of the megatrends is urbanisation. More and more people are moving in the cities and this sets high expectations for waste handling and recycling. “The new Jonsered recycling crane is designed for speedy operations which is essential in urban environments”, says Jon Lopez, Vice President of Forestry and Recycling Cranes at Hiab. 

 The new Jonsered 1500RZ supports lower lifetime costs as the fuel consumption is reduced with the variable pump system. The maximum lifting capacity of the new recycling crane is 13,8tm and its outreach exceeds 9 metres. The safety features include Variable Stability Limit (VSL)for increased crane stability, Over Load Protection to avoid crane overloading as well as Load Holding Valve to prevent load dropping. The Operator Protection System protects the driver by preventing the crane from accessing the operator area. 

“The new JONSERED 1500RZ crane is designed for total flexibility in operation. The customer can adapt it according to the business needs and choose between top seat, side-mounted top seat or stand-up platform with radio control. To ensure that the crane is well protected in harsh environments, it is painted with the advanced nDuranceTM surface protection system”, says Toni Ahvenlampi, Senior Manager, Portfolio Management, Forestry Cranes.

 In addition to the new Jonsered 1500RZ, the innovations from Hiab that will be presented at the Pollutec exhibition are: Hiab X-HiDuo 228 E-5 loader crane (one of Hiab's renewed mid-range loader craneswith an outreach of 17.3 metres and weight of just 2510kg; all Hiab loader cranes come with a two-year standard warranty); Moffett M4NXtruck mounted forklift (the next generation truck mounted forklift with an efficient power-to-weight ratio); latest innovations from Multilift(how tis hooklifts can contribute in the field of recycling);  HiVisionTMcontrol system.
